Shivam Shivam Sarvam Shivam!

I long for that day I sing your praise
I wait for those few moments of exertion
I long for those minutes of ecstacy
Singing out your name amidst your devotees

Oh Lord Your name gives so much joy
My twisted mind just stops and cries
When I hear Your name Oh Lord
Yet I know I am so lowly to reach You

Is there any pleasure Oh Lord that
Brings out the pinnacle of emotions
Is there a word Oh Lord
That breaks free the shackled thoughts of Love

Oh Lord thy name is That I think
As I long again and again to sing of
Yet I neither have the voice nor the knowledge
Of singing Your praise Oh Shiva

Thy feet They tap the rhythms with Thy gait
Thy anklets the snakes hiss in ecstacy
Thy dumuru They evoke life from slumbering ignorance
Thy primordial fire burns up the lust and thoughts of Thy devotess

I seek Thee for freedom
I seek Thee for Joy
I plead Thy name shamelessly
Oh Lover Oh Destroyer of ALL

Sarvam Shivamayam Jagat
Isha vasyam Idam Sarvam

As You burn Me
I become Thee

Aham Brahmasmi... Om Tat Sat

Let there be Love!

The gap between You and i does not exist. It is but a notion of distance as distance is space and space - Akasha is You. This notion is but a lack of understanding. There is a notional faith in You. Faith is there when You and i are different. When space is You, then Sarvam - All is You. Distance is You, hence there is NO distance. What is far is near as Akasha is You. Hence where is the question of Faith. There MUST be ONLY LOVE. It is only possible to see SARVAM as LOVE. When distance - Akasha - Space is but ONE where is the OTHER. There is nothing else to compare with; nothing else with which to be judged; nothing but one infinite presence conscious of nothing but itself...Sat- Chit- Ananda

Show me LOVE. Let this ONENESS seep into every pore of my being that this notional difference disappear. Let me realize and BE the TRUTH THAT i seek.

That which I seek cannot be other than me as I cannot be OTHER than Thee. There cannot be infinity minus me. I am THEE - Aham Brahmasmi.... Let there be LOVE!

Om Tat Sat

Measuring myself by that standard I must exclaim with Surdas :

Measuring myself by that standard I must exclaim with Surdas :

Where is there a wretch
So wicked and loathsome as I ?
I have forsaken my Maker,
So faithless have I been.

For it is an unbroken torture to me that I am still so far from Him, who, as I fully know, governs every breath of my life, and whose offspring I am. I know that it is the evil passions within that keep me so far from Him, and yet I cannot get away from them.

Fire - Touch of Love

Is there something called Love
That is separate from who we are
Is there moments that are seen
Where we disconnect with Love
Has there been any occasion
Where Love turned her eyes away

In every instance, in every act
There can be no event
Without the Touch of Love
Every act that has, Is and shall be
Is filled with Love to the brim
That, one gets immersed in the act
Only to realize later that Love was around
Only held back by our greed
Only strained by thoughts of lust
Only touched by the sin of ignorance
And Love strikes back as tears
As a force unparalleled
Unchageable and unique
Only realized when thoughts withdraw into who we are..

Never can there be a moment
,An act that lies unconnected to Love
As Love is He, Love Is who we are..

Om Tat Sat

I am..

As the mind expands towards the Infinite including everything good, bad, tall, short, clean, unclean, big and small, there envelops a peace so serene that Divinity manifests in every thought.

Purnatvam - Fulness takes shape as a concept - first and subsequently a meaning and finally as reality. This all inclusiveness brings about an acceptance of all that was, is and shall be. Time, space and matter resolves into the here and now as the percieved. The entire Universe appears as a projection on the screen of consciousness. Like a dream the Universe merges with the Infinite on the realization of Onself as Awareness. Eternal peace is all that remains. Purnatvam I am ..

Om Tat Sat

Thoughts

Thoughts are the best creators in humanity. Matter and energy are insentient. Thoughts, the flame of sentience, are far above both. They have the power to live through generations and still be vibrant and overwhelming.
