hmm?

There exists no God. What exists is godliness, and that godliness surrounds you. We are all in the same ocean.
An ancient story is: A young, very philosophical-minded fish asked other fish, "We have heard so much about the ocean; where is it? I want to meet the ocean." Everybody shrugged their shoulders; they said, "We have also heard about the ocean, but we don't know where it is." An old fish took the boy aside and told him, "There is no other ocean anywhere. We are in it. We are born in it, we live in it, we die in it. This is the ocean."

the moon...........


The moon certainly makes everything beautiful.

On a full-moon night you see beauty spread all around, even to ordinary plants.

Ordinary flowers are shining with joy.

Small puddles of water are reflecting the full moon with as much depth as the greatest ocean.
So it does not matter which body you have;

whether man or woman, bird or animal;

whether you are poor or rich.

In a silent space, just watching the moon, you are filled with tremendous beauty.

That beauty arises in your innermost world.

The moon simply triggers it.

tears like dew drops


when will eyelashes meet with eyelashes.........
its been a while since they met....
i know dear, tears flow.....
into a river of emotions...
but let it go.....
let your tears decorate my eyelashes
like dew drops on a thorn...
let all your sadness come and rest...
on my eyelashes...
im waiting.....waiting...will wait for ever.....


a difficult time

These days are difficult....
a time when I feel so alienated
I see my whole life playing in front of me....i can actually see me doing one thing and then another......and then another....again and again.....
and dont know whats the purpose of it
why am I here? what am I really supposed to do?
Im told everyone is doing it so i must do it too...
do what?
existing..!
working....eating......partying..boozing.....being high....is that living?
no time to breathe.... to sit calm..... to understand another human being...
isnt life supposed to be more than that?
just existing..???for shits sake...!!!!
doing what everyone is doing?
is not life about being...
being in sync with your soul.....
feeling bliss....
when will the business of have to exist end....???
when will i live...
when???when will everyone live.............
