This Ocean, my Friend,
Is my Home.
Do not be scared.
Do not think twice.
Oxygen is not the Source of Life.
Love is. Breathe into it.
You don’t have to swim.
Remain motionless.
Just for a while,
Leave everyone behind and
Dive into my Home
You’ll remember Everyone, again.
Bountiful is your life, full and complete. Or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. Like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul – the void you have resisted seeing. That person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. Sometimes it can be a child to look after. What matters is to find the soul that will complete yours. All the prophets have given the same advice: Find the one who will be your mirror! For me the mirror is Shams of Tabriz. Until he came and forced me to look deep into the crannies of my soul, I had not faced the fundamental truth about myself: that though successful and prosperous outside, I was lonely and unfulfilled inside.
From the novel ‘Forty Rules of Love’
These Words
Pre-written in my Heart – delivered as
A direct Message to the soul.
As I read the Message
Everything around me moves
I become a leaf – that remains static
In the windless space.
There is a Void
Yet, I am not hungry
Nor am I afraid,
I remain Empty.
Every time I read
I surrender to this Prophecy
I resurrect the broken Mirror in my Being
Thus spoke the complete Soul.
The Fire that turns
a dead corpse into ashes
The Warmth that bakes
a delicious cake in my oven
The Love from the Heavens
granted my soul a sweet rebirth.

While we were still together,
My enslaved mind couldn’t appreciate You much.
It’s been 5 years abroad now, and I have joyously visited You thrice
And vividly dreamed of You several times.
This morning as I woke up, I thought of You
I then had a quick vision of being a foreign flower
deeply rooted in Your immortal land
blossomed from Your loving lap.
O Divine Mother, embrace me with Your Love and Wisdom
that I may speak of Your Fragrance
wherever the destiny wind leads me to!
With Gratitude & Love,
A ‘distant’ child of You (India).

Happy Independence Day to fellow Indians e Buon Ferragosto agli amici Italiani!
When I pronounce your name*
Something inside me moves
And then, I cry, giggle and criggle
Who are you?
I was agnostic about Past Lives
But now, I am not sure
Were you a Friend, a Lover from the Past?
Please tell me, who are you?
I do not see you
Yet I find you real
Like invisible atoms in my being,
Do you hide yourself and play
the famous “who are you” game?
I must be you
How else could I explain our deep connection?
How else could I explain my own existence?
Am I not you? 😉
*The name can be many, for me, the name is Krishna!
“You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
Yeshua (The Gospel of John)
Void between leaves
Patience borne fruits
Humble mother twigs
Playful birds branches
Strong succour trunk
Deeply rooted life
Talks to me.
It is a Winter morning in Summer
You are the perfect rescue to my soul,
Filling my body with your fragrance
Warming my mind with your freshness
Bringing my whole existence an ever-new joy
There is no present, past, nor future with you
There is only timelessness, forever and eternal
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
As I drink the last sip, permit me to remain with you.
Faithfully,
A Tea Lover

Trento, Italy.
As She came closer with Her eyes gazed on him,
His whole system began to shut down,
Except his Heart
Which remained tangible to his senses.
As She touched his cheeks,
And caressed his hair softly,
He desired to turn into a pile of hay
To give such a Fire of Love a way.
As now She blew a kiss,
The Fire began to spread rapidly
From his lips, to the Heart, to all of his body.
The Earth and the Sky are in an ecstatic communion!
As She gently pressed Her body against his,
And his breath began to attune with Hers,
He was turning into ashes yet very much alive,
Into nothingness yet the Source of everything.
In the wilderness of Love,
He became one with the Fire – that She is.
And there was no separation afterwards – For
Their Love is written in Eternity.

I wept for hours
I thought I lost you
Wandered hopelessly for months
Knowing myself all along deeper and deeper
It wasn’t easy but I kept going inwards
And I realized, you are never lost nor gained
‘Cause you are what you are
And you are me
And you reside in my Heart
When I sing the song of our Soul,
You whisper in unison with me –
And ‘God’ is our Orchestra Conductor
I love you and I am not deluded anymore.
Peace
Peace is my highest deed
If it requests my acceptance, I do it faithfully,
If it invites me to understand deeper, I do it immediately,
If it advises me to do my work and renounce the results, I do it happily,
If it asks me to surrender to the given situation, wow, I do it lovingly,
If it sometimes tells me to give up, sure, why not? – I do it mindfully
Because
With Peace in my Heart, I am truly ‘Home’ and
Home is where I have everything that I truly desire.
