tolerance and love

I have a man I love very much. My sister (who I thought was the one of the enlightened women i know) told me he was just using me. Her reason- He is Iraqi, plain and simple. She does NOT know anything about this man. I am sad for such judgments, The world is needing love and tolerance. I ask for a prayer for my love as he is struggling to claim his rightful safety and peace of mind. He is one of the kindest, loving men I know.

like the old Cave-sleepers, to browse

wherever I fall.

Our Journey ~ poem

The heart of life

is like a blooming flower

it cannot be forced open

but must be entered

naturally , lovingly, consciously

with sincere awareness

needing the sun, waters,

living soil to grow itself

learning what these living ingredients are

becomes our life long journey

destiny and freewill

come in to play

fortunate ones listen

to the hearts…

and yet i hold on . . . a memory of love

and yet i hold on . . .

why did you leave

why did you have to go from here

it seems not quite fair

yes, i remember

and yet i hold on . . .

i remember how i played in your hair

i was the consummate child

immersed in your smile

yes, i remember

and yet i hold on . . .

the memories of your scent lingers

dancing with certain constancy

bring forth illusions… Continue

BENEFITS OF JAPA

Dear All,

Good evening / Morning and enjoy a divine blessed day ahead....

Japa (repetition of the mantra checks the force of the thought current moving towards objects. It forces the mind to move towards God, towards the attainment of eternal bliss. Eventually it helps us to have the darsana (vision) of God. The mantra-power is hidden in every mantra. Whenever the spiritual aspirant shows lack of vigour in his sadhana (practice), the power of the mantra reinforces the… Continue

Healing

West whispers that come from the few,

take an overpowering view,

fanned by media and political spin,

but do they reflect honesty within?

Eastern breezes carry some hard

words in anguish from souls so marred

by turmoils begun long, long before,

many deep wounds from a distant shore.

Healing won't come from more bullets and knives,

that only ever leaves more grieving mothers and wives

Sanity shows clear when peace is planned… Continue

let us . . .

let us . . .

as i sojourn across the landscapes of my life

at times it seems as a vast ocean

though i have my wings attached

i still have not a valid notion

why we have to suffer

so at this moment i pause

to contemplate it's meaning

with my “Buddha Christ Like” cause

will there ever be an end

or the repetition of many beginnings

those fools over there would like…

My Prison . . . Prison Analogies . . .

Prison Analogies

Often / Most times, we, are “Self”, imprisoned. Usually by our thought processes, but hardly ever by our intent. Intent is usually of a virtuous make up. It is often our lack of faith in the manifestations of our intent that leads us to either “sow” our own seeds of “doubts” and “insecurities”. Also we graciously allow others, such as “Friends”, “Family” and “Strangers” to do the same. Doubts and Fears are naught but a “Veil of Darkness” we consent to or assist to… Continue

Dear All,

In the first article in this series we saw how, in order to change the world, we first have to change ourselves; for the world is only the way we are. Only what is inside us manifests itself on the outside.

Much More Than The Gifts

Much More Than The Gifts

There came a man to remember

Not like those who had passed by before

Some twenty centuries later

His words remain hard to ignore

For the many faithful all around this world

His teachings will ever endure

So whilst I may remain a humanist

I offer respect to those who fully embrace

The many fine thoughts that he left us

Rather than the evils that they displace

And sure as I am that other faiths have great… Continue
