We cannot drag the mystery, the unknown, into the known. To realize the mystery we must enter it, somehow leaving the known behind. Although this is a total puzzlement to the mind that lives on knowledge, it speaks to the deepest parts of us. We are so conditioned to control, so trained to the desire for certainty, we throw our hands in the air at this conundrum. We do the same with the idea of surrender.
But these mysteries are where the juice is, where freedom is, where liberation is.
I hope that doesn’t make sense to you!
Here are a few poems from this week.
May you be blessed and free.
Kavi
Transcend the world Not by detaching from it Or saying it is an illusion But by loving it with an unconditionality That allows it to come home to silence. -------------------------- Silence is not simply The absence of noise It is a pulsating field of intelligence Out of which everything arises To know silence is a journey To live from that silence Is the awakening Spiritual seekers long for. --------------------------- As the storm rages Become quiet and still Let not others division Become yours Stay here As the silence you are In this softness Is a great and mysterious power Unknown to the divided mind. ---------------------------- If your heart opens And everything hidden inside Comes flooding out Although it may feel Almost impossible to bear Don’t try and close it up again But learn to live From that deep place It won’t always be so raw That rawness is just the freshness Of the wound as it hits the air. ---------------------------- Let us leave all this talk for a while And rest in the silence of being We can merge with the totality And remember who we really are. ----------------------------- Fall in love with the world everyday Even if it breaks your heart Or confounds you The world needs lovers Not fighters or haters Or those fueled by judgement. ----------------------------- Presence is a portal Through which we taste eternity We spend our lives bound to time But in the silent stillness of the now All movement comes to an end What bliss Just this. ---------------------------- The Beloved answers our call But we reject and resist No! we say Don’t turn up like that. ---------------------------- tear off this falseness and stand tall in humble splendor in the truth of your radiance be like an open window let anyone look in all this hiding your secret self makes you miserable everyone here is the same all longing to dance naked and be free. ----------------------------- A beauty that is skin deep Is not real beauty A beauty that shines From deep in the soul Is the beauty we seek Let your soul’s voice sing Clear off the debris that covers your light Plummet the depths of being And shine your truth This is beauty.
