Given & returned

Between the dream and reality,
choose reality —
for the dreams are a trail of yesterday's paths.

Between aspiration and the moment,
choose the moment —
for aspiration belongs to winds of tomorrow.

Whatever I accomplished
were gifts granted to me.

Whatever I lost
Never meant to belong to me;
They were only returned.

Blessed am I
for what was given.
Blessed am I
for what I could return.

Happiness and sorrow 
arise from receiving and returning.

Knowing this,
why cling to either?

Harvest

Forever in gratitude at the Lotus Feet of the Great Mother! 🙏 For all the penance of all past lives, immense gifts have already been granted. All that this world could offer — many pleasures and a few many pains — have been bestowed and experienced. Moments of great pride and deep guilt did pass in trails... Now, I stand before a vast, wide field ready for harvest. I watch with awe, yet with self-doubt if I even deserve the sight. Not to bother Providence to orchestrate dramatic conflicts and resolutions anymore. What’s next in this journey? While the Gifts already granted continue to return in rich dividends... let the life's work begin. Let the harvest start, without waiting for help or companionship. The field stretches endlessly — the very vision wearies the eyes. Yet, a few sheaves gathered each day shall suffice... For this field, after all, is wrapped in an Ocean of loud silence, and the tool for harvest — is this body and its five senses. Oh dear Mother mercifu...

Waves of pain & joy

How can I lose what I never had, never would have, and yet always have? If you are ever in me, I must keep finding your love within; Every pure emotion felt, the lap my eyes shall come to rest. If I was ever in you, keep finding my strength carry you. Every gentle care you offer, is the shoulder where your head rests, in the arms of my safe presence. Just stay… In my heart. As this poetry. I walk, adoring the Love - my means and the destination, towards  Our Divine Mother! This drop dissolves in the eternal ocean -  deeply serene, yet with waves that are both pain and joy.

A prayer for detachment

Shri Mataji – This is my prayer ever to Thee: Keep my Heart, Thy abode! Shri Mataji – Empty my heart of my limited love and desires, for Thy love to shine! Shri Mataji – Let me love the way Thee love all Thy creations. Let my love embrace every known being and form, and expand in eternity to all that's unknown! Shri Mataji, only You know – All Our soul's longings of the past, And aspirations for the future. Shri Mataji – Please comfort my heart and soul; relieve me of all pain and burdens, so that I could love all Your creation unblemished . Let this present moment expand to eternity , And give us the meaning of our lives. Let this frail attention and deceptive brain find their dissolution in Thy love! For dear Shri Mataji – We have no desire But to behold Thy abode, deep in our hearts, in eternal love !
