"How Deep Is Your Love"

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love

How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love

How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love

How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Enmanas - My mind

It's a lot of noise
Sometimes the noise forms words
Rarely they make a sentence

Once in a blue moon they make sense
And then they flow

But it's still noise

Aham

Animals fight to defend their bodies
Humans curse to defend their imagination of themselves
This imagined notion of who we are
And how others are supposed to see us
Is called aham

Aham constantly seeks validation from the external world.
When that is not forthcoming it becomes insecure
Aham makes humans accumulate things
Through things we hope people will look upon us
As we imagine ourselves
That is why ,Janaka ,
People display their wealth
And their knowledge
And their power
Aham yearns to be seen

Ashtavakra to Janaka

Mirror in my mind

How long do I search for Him
Using the mirror in my mind
How long in shapes and forms
He seems to be of many race and colours
He even seems to know many tongues

Hey You with a beard or without one
I speak now to You like many before me
And many more to come
I suddenly felt lost when I thought You didn't exist
A thought so song that life felt meaningless without You in form

Hence I ask You now how much longer do I seek You
Using this mirror in my mind
For all I see are various forms

Some say there is a place beyond
Some a life better in Thy presence
But I can't accept any unless You show me here
Now a life of meaning

I believe I know Thy scent
Thy form shape and colour now
I am aware of Thy presence
Yet I cannot but sell You
Through the mirror in my mind

How much longer this hide and seek
How much longer do I hold
For I have shattered this mirror in the hope
That i take it that You are me alone
Here and now

I am. ...

Validate

Do we try to check with our views. Do we feel the necessity to have others cross verify or views. ..

Let me clarify, do I require someone to look at my thoughts or actions or words and tell me.. alright. .. is that process of validation required. Is that what I seek. ..or is it a necessity in society

Let me rephrase. ... is it necessary to seek help. Society and civilisation as we know it was not built by one man or one generation but by several. Did they need validation. ...

Do we make ourself smaller by seeking ideas. Do we make ourselves weaker by asking what we need. .. do we put itself at a disadvantage setting ourself exposed in seeing help or ideas. ....

Let me rephrase. .. do I see myself put at difficulty in seeking help or ideas. ....

On the contrary. ..I believe my strength is in saying what I need to say and asking what I feel like asking. I may have hurt several in this process... some I regret.... most I don't. .... for I spoke the Truth and that which I felt necessary to be spoken.

But why this seeking in a space meant for those thoughts spiritual or mystical

This is spiritual.. for when there is an urge that cannot be stopped it is better to say it rather than be lost in what history should say. Man could evolve beyond urge for he had always brought out his fears.

In seeking help I have only brought out what is human.

I guess it's the need to be 'civilized' that puts the seeking man at a disadvantage. .. for the perspective is always the presentation and rarely the help being sought or so I believe at this instant

The problem is not in the help sought or the person sought or the exposal of the fear itself or rightly.... the direction itself. ...its is in the presentation. ....

I am glad I approached seeking help. ..I only pray I learn to present them better. ..

I learn. ...I am. ...Sat Chit Ananda

Old - publishing as such. .. unfinished

I feel I am losing my God

I feel my world is breaking apart

I feel I am losing the plot

The Old anger is surfacing

The new confUsions seem to continue

where from they come

where have they been?

Noise screaming inside my head

Silence has disappead in this moment

I see....

EGO - Who I am and my new prayer how not to be

Anklets

Oh Lakshmana, look at these; these belong to Sita. My heart is broken. I cant stand this separation. Tell me Lakshmana ..are these Sita's?

I know only one among these Oh Lord, those anklets Divine for they were on Her feet. They shine for when I fall at Her feet they appear as I rise.

I have not seen Her but for Her Divine presence with You.These jewels I know not

But to answer your question, the anklet belongs to my Divine Mother

Your wife Sita, Oh Rama
---------------------------------------------------------------

Have you seen these?
she asks with a smile on her face
Shaking her head
and letting them shake on her ears
Bright and beautiful
They add to the beauty of her smile

Have you seen these? .. she asks again
I am lost for I have not seen them
She says guess where it could have been
Knowing I dont follow womens faces beyond the eyes.. She says it was where you go every day. I still am puzzled .. for I do not know. She says these were on Lord Guruvayoorappans picture in the Puja room decorated on to the image and asks.. what do you do there....

Oh Lord, have I seen anything but you're feet?
Do you wear anklets?
I can hear their sounds but I .. I lie beneath Thy feet.
The goblin, the rakshasa, Maaya
whatever Thy Bhakthas may call ..

I pray to Thee ..
show me Thy form

"Crawling In The Dark" - Hoobastank

"Crawling In The Dark"

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Remain in me

My search for You
Started as a doubt
Questioning You and creation
And where I belonged

Learning and Yearning for Truth
I was misled by my wrong thinking
To hold the body as a curse
And myself as a Sinner

Now You walk with me
And speak inside my mind
whispering the Truth
Like a lover would to His beloved

I've searched for Thee in places sacred
I've sought Thee in work And Love
While You were ever present in what I call me
Like a fool I've listened to lies

Now I try to listen hard
To your voice in my head
Trying to differentiate between
My noise and your voice

Like a lover now I wait for Thee
Your name etched to my thoughts
Your love mixed with every thought
I am yours in body and You in mind

I am....

Yearning..

Where do experiences go
Where do those moments go
Where love joy and other thoughts
Take birth in the mind

Where does pain go
Moments of loss
Moments where nothing else
Would satisfy but the object of loss

Where does such strong emotions go
Of hate .... people places things
Born in my mind do they live
Do they linger on...

Do these represent the life I live
Memories, or reality in some parallel world
Carry on I will after this
Knowing that these make me who I am

But who am I really?
No book will satisfy this thirst
No adventure would put to rest this quest
I wont stop until I know...

Who I am ..

I.am.

Vikshepa Shakthi

As I try again to do plough through the Gita I stall and stumble... this is not the first time. There have been years in between verses where I could not make progress. Each time it was different...it was more difficult.. but never was it so dead of spirituality... no classes ...hardly any new book... very little satsang. My car rides to the factory are also silent ones...rarely an FM song on the radio

A new challenge ...a new situation... the challenge seems to be one that I have ignored for long...

Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam Dhyanam ....Dhyanam... Dhyanam

Stilling the mind and letting it be clear of thoughts and instilling in it a sense of Truth... and then the minds whips a scenario and runs loose... wild and uncouth! Imagining situations that never were...never will be...making them realities and giving them logic... raising strong emotions and raising the ego....SNAP!!!!

The onset of the preoccupation has been steady and seems to threaten the most basic of conversations...worry seems to be a common theme for the mind... a trailing issue from school can call for a host of thoughts from friends to not so friends... some good thought and some that could be very different...

Where did spirituality go... hidden among the mire of imagination...

The new war...the new challenge...an old problem... vikshepa Shakthi- wandering imaginative distractive power

I pray to you oh Divine Mother...show me the way!!!

Back to Innocence

While I heap layer over layer of flowers
Chanting sacred hymns in the Lords name
I am aware of the thoughts that freely run
Over-lapping the meaningful devotion outwardly exhibited

With every flower that I wish to adorn His feet
I also humbly submit my thoughts unto Him
Knowing fully well that not all are but free of sin!
Thoughts are but a continuum of the minds rant
A habit of continuous ill use
Greed and lust take charge when logic stops
And unto fear i submit my will
Walking away from God until its prayer time..

Laced with these thoughts I watch
My children as they assist me in prayer
Innocent and clear in conscience they do
Mimicking my every action in mirth
Thoughts am sure are simple
Doing the task for tasks sake
Enjoying every bit of action done
Devoted only to fun they do,
What I try time and again and fail

I seek Thee Dear Lord
For I know my thoughts that flow
I seek Thy hands to work within
My mind that has ceased to play
Show me the joy in work
Show me Thy playful state
Let me regain that innocence
That I seem to have lost today

Let every action be in Thy thoughts
Let every thought be mixed in Thee
May You work these hands freely
For I seek to merge in Thee..
