Poems

I have veered from Yama to the Lord.
My woes have vanished,
Happiness abides within me.
Those who were foes
Have turned into friends,
The evil have become gentle and pious.
Everything that happens
I now accept as a blessing;
I attained peace
When I realised the Lord.

A million afflictions infested my body;
Through my absorption in Sahaj
They have given way to bliss.
He who realises his true self
Sees the Lord
And only the Lord
In everything;
Nor disease, nor three fevers
Afflict him now.

My mind has returned
To its own Primal state;
I realised the Lord
When I died while living.
Says Kabir: I am merged
In the bliss of Sahaj;
I no longer know fear,
Nor inspire it in others
.

Kabir

                                                     Navaho Valley                                          

I ask all blessings,
I ask them with reverence,
of my Mother the earth,
of the sky, moon, and sun my Father.
I am old age: the essence of life,
I am the source of all happiness.
All is peaceful, all in beauty,
all in harmony, all in joy.

Anonymous Navaho (19th – 20th Century)

Rabindranath TagoreThou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not.
Thou hast given me seats in homes not my own.
Thou hast brought the distant near
and made a brother of the stranger.
I am uneasy at heart
when I have to leave my accustomed shelter;
I forget that there abides the old in the new,
and that there also thou abidest.
Through birth and death, in this world or in others,
wherever thou leadest me it is thou, the same,
the one companion of my endless life
who ever linkest my heart
with bonds of joy to the unfamiliar.
When one knows thee, then alien there is none,
then no door is shut.
Oh, grant me my prayer that I may never lose
the bliss of the touch of the one
in the play of many.

Rabindranath Tagore

Pink, black and white butterflyThe man whispered, “God, speak to me,”
And a meadowlark sang.
But the man did not hear.

So the man yelled, “God, speak to me,”
And the thunder rolled across the sky,
But the man did not listen.

The man looked around and said, “God, let me see you,”
And a star shone brightly.
But the man did not notice.

And the man shouted, “God, show me a miracle!”
And a life was born.
But the man did not know.

So the man cried out in despair, “Touch me, God, and let me know You are here,”
Whereupon God reached down and touched the man.
But the man brushed the butterfly away –
And walked away unknowingly.
