Seeds of Empathy
In the face of winds of suffering, feel the soft light of compassion on your face. Humans speak in the language of love, and tune into the whispers of empathy. When life seems to be falling apart, crushed with grief, when you lose sight of the shore of hope, it is then that you feel the soft breeze on your face. A breeze of an empathy tries to enfold you, breathes into your agony as its own, endures your intense pain, carries you when life pushes you down to your knees. That is when empathy penetrates its understanding within you and sows the much- needed seed with tenderness.
So, it sprouts and anchors its roots within your soul, making its way in the inmost places, spreading tenderness to weed out the deep seated suffering. The hardened heart, the ocean of pain struggling in your eyes, the unheard sob secretly tearing you apart, is all that calls for the light of empathy. Release the voice of suffering and let the waters of empathy have their deepest flow. Here comes the beauty out of every dying pain. That is the birth of a star wrapped in the light of a soul gleaming within. This is the soul-light that takes us to a path that lies beyond our pain, beyond the shackles of burden.
This is the light that releases the pearls of healing, that break open from the cocoons of age- old secret suffering--only to give out, the sheer fragrance of peace to a burning pain, so as to fill you with the breath of God. This is the promise of a dawn, the sun of hope, in a new day, making its way in a struggling soul. That somehow made the night, to bury the pain, so as to bathe the soul, in a new light of a new morn. It is only with this shared caring, that we cease hurting the lost and the lonely. It is with this deluge of an empathetic love, that we wash away the grief, that eats away human hearts. It is this long- lost song of empathy, that has been so unsung, by many a soul in this wilderness of universe.
The soul housed in your body is aware of the timeless beauty of empathy, as it flows in the running brook to give what is worth giving, to offer what is worth offering, to rain what is worth raining--the munch needed shower of empathy. As empathy is the language of the soul, the language that speaks of the compassionate understanding of another’s crushing pain. This is the time, when one soul hears another soul, when one heart hears another heart and a wordless communication is exchanged between the suffering and the understanding souls. Empathy can never flow from those who are weak, it can only run from those who are strong, as it is in that strength that empathy runs. It is in that moment of silent understanding, that two souls can find, what one cannot reach alone, only when they share the sacred spaces of tenderness.
They are never alone, together they come, together they sit, as somewhere in this universe, God sent them entwined with each other in an empathy, whose bond is invisibly strong. Togetherness can sing a melody, so powerful yet so peaceful than individuality can ever sing. This is the love letter written on the sands of eternity. Bonds that are woven in empathy have a message, that the understanding of a soul, lies in the gift of listening to not what the other can say, but what the other soul cannot say, not what he can speak of but what he cannot speak of. True reaching out, lies in the beauty of seeing not what the suffering souls can share, but what they cannot share.
To be able to fathom the depths of this agony, to penetrate these most impenetrable places, and to bring them to light, to give them the promising hope, to show them the path in a way, a different way, where light floods in and washes away their past and beckons a new future—that is the light of empathy. Moisten your heart with the richest drops, that are born from empathy, as herein lies the releasing of your silent struggles. Begin to empathize with the hearts that are sealed with grief and failed to release them. Those are the hearts that need to live life again, in the tenderness of emotions---as that is how they can come home again.
In this journey of you too, returning to where you were, when God sent you on this Earth, as the promised seed of divine, it is the light of empathy that is much needed, as by this light when you walk, you come home to your empathetic self, the way god had seeded you by his divine design. This is the rising beauty of empathy, in seeing with the eyes of a suffering soul, in listening with the ears of an injured one, and in feeling with the heart of a wounded heart. In this seeing, listening and feeling, do two souls see the light of kinship, in this journey of life. Out of this empathy, is born an understanding with which you can feel others in yourself as you enter into their hidden depths, where only a light can pierce.

Transcendence poems
SOUL OF SOULS
He is the soul of all souls, the breath of all breath,
We are the mortals with this soul of eternal quest,
With a blooming thousand petal lotus in purity inside of us,
The unheard drum of perennial contentment lies deep within us,
The spring of timeless joy wells from us.
The bee of my heart is deeply plunged in joy, we rarely hear the mystic music,
The cords of an age- old song ties our hearts to his, while the holy fountain dwells
Between the poles of finite and infinite, time and the timeless.
Echoes his music, across the whirling cosmos, the current of sanctity
Flows in the ocean, unveiling the mystery of birth and death;
The rhyme of love and detachment sings the tune since primordial times,
The flowing of sacred waters heals as the ocean breaks forth in bursting joy;
As mortals are entranced in a rapturous rhapsody of celestial joy,
Our hearts taste the wine of ineffable, formless, timeless joy.
The infinite, unattainable, omniscient, omnipotent,
Who lights the divine effulgence,
The illumination of wisdom is the eternal inner light of the soul.
Drinking from the cup of exhaling essences of love,
We, the drops of ocean, merge ourselves in the
Supreme ocean of bliss.
Sipping the nectar of life,
Free from the fear of the cycle of birth and death,
Swim this swelling sea to the other shore.
Merging finite with infinity,
The cosmos is filled with an ethereal music,
The raining of nectarine bliss, the jingling of harp strings,
The light of this eternal truth illumines the universe.
And drunken with this divine ecstasy,
I whirl as the wheels of existence go on spinning;
Our souls dwell with the harmonic music singing in all,
As the effulgent light of it,
Radiates the cosmos with a resplendent glow.
Spreads a hue of celestial bliss and peace;
Honeycomb of an immortal truth is discovered,
Churning the infinite, bottomless ocean of divinity;.
His radiance from heart’s cave,
Dispels all the darkness;
His form is pure and unmingled,
His words balm many afflicted souls,
Burns many egos to incense the souls;
Delving in the inner spring of bliss,
We taste that unshakeable love.
Love that is noble and pure is,
Free from the earthly desires and fire of ego,
Purity sparkles from all the blazes of desires,
That guides our souls to an oasis of awareness.
DIVINE JOY
Being transcendental and detached from the flashing desires of materialism,
Hues our pages of life with a brush of grace;
Life itself gets the blessings of holy, precious, sacred showering,
As the intrinsic designs of our tapestry of life get enriched with the
Multitudes of divine shades.
God spins the wheels of creation,
This beautiful cosmos is in a sweet, harmonic, rhythmic dance;
With compassions’ graceful touch, mercy’s elegant hues,
The universe is always soaked in divine light.
The Earth is flooded in dazzling heavenly beams;
Yearning for that day,
When the bliss of union with divine encompasses the heart;
With this unending love, the balm soothes my blaze of agony,
As the quench consuming my soul and body,
Clasps me to thyself; singing the dissolving tunes
Of an eternal union, that rhythms with mine.
Penetrating my spirit and releasing me from this love-drunk thirst,
Spraying a perfume in my heart,
Where heavenly laughter mingles with my essence,
I gaze silently at the voiceless beauty of his.
Divinity descends on the soundless longing of mine,
As my spirit is clasped within his boundless love,
A virgin soul is born merging with omnipotent rays of eternal glory;
The vastness of ocean in my heart releases in an everlasting peace,
Dispelling the ephemeral whispers of darkness;
Thy spirit rises from the ocean of immortality.
Silencing the soundless cries of struggle,
As my spirit beams with the gleaming rejoice in communing
With the timeless and formless;
The realm of transcending glory of Oneness radiates forth,
And slowly emerges a glorious vision from the clasp of timeless silence.
My heart presses to the bosom of Infinite, endless compassion,
The love of his infinite beauty envelops me,
With an unfathomable joy and limitless vastness of ecstasy;
A light of which transcends the darkness.
Truthfulness transcends falsehood,
Surpassing the pinnacled summits of finite visionary realms;
And dawns in the world of infinity,
Immersed in the joy of Supreme, absolute wholeness.
TEMPLE IN MY HEART
In the temple of sacred devotion in my heart,
I light a burning lamp of enlightenment;
In the depths of my soul,
The commingled oil yearns to seek thy vision.
Emerges a soaring of perfumed incense of longing,
To bow at the altar of thy immortality;
Our sacred prayers are glistening in the presence of thy Omnipotent vision,
As God’s love embraces humanity and speaks the one holy language,
Language of the flowering heart.
With a bouquet of devotion hued soul whispers,
Emerges an ineffable joy of plunging;
In your sea of transcending, perennial beauty,
We mortals seek to be enfolded in thy sheltering love,
As thy heart throbs of a universal, all-encompassing love.
We are the petals of thy all-embracing tenderness,
Thou art the flower of universal love,
Who floods our souls with the fragrance of divinity;
We awaken into spiritualized mortals,
Illuminating with the wisdom of thy manifestation;
As we adorn ourselves with the pearls of thy omnipotence,
We enlightened mortals pass though portals of oneness love,
Wherein lies the myriad of hues of multi faith, multi religion.
Placing an aromatic bouquet of multi beliefs hued with veneration,
At the altar of thy lotus feet, the rarest rubies of thy love,
Dazzlingly embellish our bodies; clustered to encircle our neck,
That shines with a radiance of thy kindness.
Ages of our ignorance dissolve in thy light,
Awakening from the slumbers of pain,
I find myself garlanded with blessings;
The smoldering wicks of our quest turn to the
Blazes of heart melted yearnings,
To behold thy universal omnipotent presence.
Our souls crave to unlatch the sacred gateway,
Leading to the temple of liberation and ultimate salvation;
The bird of our eternal spirit soars freely,
In the aura of an azure firmament,
To sing a universal song of a heart melting oneness.
CELESTIAL LOVE
An intoxicated oneness of union with divine,
Stretches out the arms in love, welcoming the seasons of life;
Bestow the fragrance of joy on the meadow adorned nature,
As your spirit delves into the unknown in search of an enlightened truth.
Washing away the pangs of pain in the tides of life,
Eternal love has befriended my soul, and I arise beyond the realms of finite;
My deepest thoughts have become my intimate lovers,
Lighting the lamp in my heart as it yearns for All that is.
Cultivating my heart to the deepest of depths,
Sowing the seeds of longing for the unknown infinity,
Soaring myself in God’s limitless azure skies,
I immerse myself in the celestial realm of sacred love.
Forsaking the torments of separation from God,
Eternal is the spirit whose heart awakens to the celestial love;
Soaking your soul in the healing waters of grace,
While it flourishes with the essence in a perfume of divinity.
So I seek not the mystery of earthly secrets,
And embrace the sacred celestial existence;
A divine song swells in the heart,
While the tunes of joy echo in the stretch of infinity.
My soul forsakes all the treasures that mortals boast,
Overcome by the desire of yearning to unite with God;
I am blissfully awakened in the sea of Union,
Being flooded with the waters of his unending generosity.
Ethereal love sings in the abode of our hearts,
As the veil separating us from reality becomes unveiled;
One experiences thereby a deep joy from this nearness and,
Hearts become flooded with a profound perception of beauty.
It is a love provoking wound, the soul-searching cry,
Arising from a soul drunk with the love of almighty;
Each heart is in communion with another,
And spirits are commingled in harmony.
Love pervades in all, unveiling the clouds of ego,
And the light of each spirit merges with the light of God;
As the celestial ray purifies the chambers of heart,
Unlocking the doors to mysteries of life’s passing shadow.
DIVINE MELODY
The agony of vain endless search,
Dwelling in our souls,
Leads to a manifestation of immortal truth,
Bursting forth like a thousand suns.
Moments of sacred epiphanies,
Heals our sense of estrangement;
From all divine light embodied spirits,
The yearning struggles to unveil the secrets of existence.
My soul purged from the dross of desires,
In him I find my salvation and freedom;
As I dissolve the pearl of my soul in his blissful nectar,
The wine of divine truth raises me to the life after life,
Everlasting.
As my heart beat rhythms with thine,
In the flashes of golden joy; the spirit leaps in a boundless freedom,
In the divine vision of your everlasting peace.
Our parched lips wander in the quest for quenching waters of bliss,
As the mortal soul receives from the eternal soul,
The illuminated pearls of wisdom,
The heart clasps to cherish the amethysts of compassion.
As I tread the path of kindness into the horizon beyond,
Loosing myself in the eternal call of divinity;
I journey into the depths of my inmost self,
Where my mine of treasures radiates in the dazzling sunbeams.
There lies my soul’s amethyst spark;
As I hearken to the flute of the soul of souls,
It bursts out in endless divine melodies,
Setting the music of my soul free.
From the sense of clinging and attachment,
I fly in the paradise of celestial realm;
And rejoice in my essence of salvation,
As the dawn breaks into my soul’s awakening.
Blessings shower from the altar of eternity,
Radiating the cosmos with the light of heart;
In union with light of God, I sing the song of my soul,
Attuned to the music of the whirling universe.
The light gently penetrates my heart,
Melting me in the light of purity and grace,
His healing touch turns my soul,
To a fountain of celestial light where love awakens in a light.
As in oyster shells his compassion drops become pearls;
Becoming the rarest gem of life,
While they Immerse in the eternal glory,
The pearls scatter in the blooming universe.
DIVINE CREATION
The kissing of the sunbeams,
The song of nightingales,
The glorious greeting of the dawn to the earth,
The caressing of silver dew on the grass,
The gentle unfolding of its secret mysteries,
The passing of the morn breeze,
While droplets of love,
Tenderly fall like autumnal leaves.
God’s love is written in
The miracles of sunrise and sunset,
In the opalescent dayspring and saffron eventide,
Its manifold beauties spring in us,
As a blessed release from the clouds of worries,
Weaving the sacred wonders of his creation,
And cascading them all on the bosom of this Earth.
Gentle rain of compassion showers the earth,
Germinating the seeds of universal love,
In the soil of this universe;
Souls blossom in the dazzling rays of sunlight,
As radiance penetrates the bosom of this universe
And the whispers of heaven,
Dance in our hearts.
DIVINE TRUTH
I am the soul sky of mingling spirits,
I am the running stream of compassion,
Flowing in abundance;
The sun of eternal soul light,
The night of heart’s delight,
Walks in the pace of grace,
In this endless space.
Dews of utterance come to my lips,
Drops of truth churning serenity,
Glistening rivulets of purity,
And truth flow from the lips;
This embedded divine secret,
Coiled in a shell,
Peeps in a mortal’s soul.
Dwells his vision in the shrine of peace;
Let the truth fall from my lips,
It is a vision of formless, nameless God,
In every soul that you behold.
Yearning for the Loved One,
Longing penetrates every cell of mine,
The eyes shedding tears like a shower of rain,
His shining face appeared to me in a vision,
And fragrance emanated in profusion;
The universe dissolves in his celestial eyes;
His face is the essence of enlightened life.
Life of the entire cosmos,
His steady gaze speaks
The eloquence of heavenly love;
The bejeweled glory of God,
All other worldly glories,
Emanate from the universal glory
Of the faceless One,
Ever since diversity blended into unity,
Merging in the bliss of the Ultimate Reality.
Mortals discover the pearl of purity,
Ivory of truth, opalescence of grace;
That grants us a glimpse of thy endearing face.
May those moments of bliss come back,
And bring the beautiful miracles of healing,
Do not deny my soul a glimpse of your eternal beauty,
Let us offer the flowers of purity,
At the altar of God.
Emitting the blissful fragrance of it,
He that is my souls’ repose,
Encircles as a garland round my heart;
And the soul of bliss,
Laughs from my earthy bed;
I rise for the Fount of Living mirth,
Exquisite divine light and freedom,
Concealed are the divine drops,
In the mausoleum of heart,
And the treasure trove of celestial pearls.
DIVINE FRAGRANCE
Words arise from the heart of universe, garden of my soul, spring times of nature,
The sweet drops drip from the nectar of my spirit;
The revelation of inner divinity, the consciousness of me in you and you in me,
As we unfold the flower of truth;
We weave the web of interconnectedness and
Laughter dances in the breeze of this universe.
You and I are pristine reflections of celestial light,
Immersing in the lake of divinity we find our mirror image in each other;
Drops soaked in unleashing compassion and love,
And the light of divine healing touch gently penetrates many wounded souls;
And the symphony of oneness streams in our souls,
The floral essence of your tenderness pulls the cords of my soul,
Sowing the seeds of laughter in the ornamental garden of my heart,
Gently letting the buds open with Gods’ grace poured on them,
To spread the bloom of love and a fragrance of happiness.
This golden thread of love knots the dispersed hearts together,
Encircling them in a divine circle of oneness;
May our souls find the anchor in the sea of despair and distress,
May we find love in the depths of an eternity,
May we find trails of happiness in this wilderness of life,
May joy blossom as a myriad hued flower on the jaggedness of weariness,
May forgiveness spring from the fountain of mercy cascading in our souls,
May we find the light of awareness at the pinnacle of life,
May we seek shelter in the lap of eternal contentment.
Behold divinity in the dancing rays of sun, blooming petals, in the soft snowflakes,
And the moments of our lives splendor in divine remembrance;
As the kisses of God awaken us every enchanting morn,
We rest in the sunset of our days in the solace of timeless tranquility,
As our lives ripen in the lap of beautiful divinity,
A blissful grandeur gently enfolds all the moments of our lives,
As we breathe in the awakening of divine fragrance.
CELESTIAL BLISS
The flowering of love blossoms in the lap of celestial bliss,
The drops that rain from earth’s lips,
The awakening that emerges from heaven shaken rumbling,
Our soul bursts in that garden of joy in a blithesome spirit,
A garden of morning glory blooms in the expanse of our hearts,
As the moonflowers burst forth in myriad blossoms at the
Caressing of gentle spring breeze,
And flows freely the perfumes of our souls lingering in delight.
Love births as an eternal enticement of life,
As the poetry of hearts, the bursting forth of heavenly joy,
The blissful showers of Eden on Earth.
Love is the beacon of hope when the clouds of despair
Blanket our minds;
Love eloquently speaks in the language of a wordless silence,
Enchanting whispers and rainbows of hope.
And soul blossoms at the resplendent light of compassion,
And the twilight of tenderness,
Sending thrills into the heart of silvery night;
Hope blooms in the unfolding of petals,
Faith sings in the songs of soul moon,
As they wipe the tears of weeping sorrow
And turn them to love’s delight.
Full blown rose unfolds its heart in the ecstasy of soul garden,
From the seeds of love grows the flowers of tomorrow’s beatitude,
Love was reared in the lap of compassion;
And dances in rhythmic, blithesome swaying of soul flowers;
As we sip the dew of love in dawn’s first awakening,
We embrace the slumber of yesterday’s pail of sorrow.
Love is the compassion wreath, the souls’ divine gift,
The treasured memories of moment’s joy,
The fragrance with which the breeze is scented,
The dancing of the glistening light,
The soft moonbeams clasping the earth in love,
And the stardust twinkling in delight,
The sprightly flower is smiling,
In the wake of a promising dawn.
Seeds of compassion scatter in the garden of harmony,
Love is the light of eternity, the saga of humanity,
Love moves in silence to touch the depths of souls.
DIVINE ECSTASY
Flowing into each other, we become swept away in a
Divine ecstasy and whirl and swirl in a divinely orchestrated
Cosmic dance which awakens us, arousing our sleeping souls.
To feel them is to feel me and we attain a transcendental state
Of indescribable joy finding its wings of freedom; Love is the gateway
To oneness; the breath of universal oneness consumes our every
Waking wondrous moment.
There is a divine joy in the desire to merge our minds and
Spirits in this flow of harmony, a communion with all,
A union so longed for. From this union, an enlightenment
Births in the floral garden of humanity; God’s compassionate vision
Is reflected in the eyes of our soul, radiant in its magnificence.
The soul lives in the waking memory of its eternal abode
In the lap of Omnipotent and this knowing of the timeless truth
Awakens the inner eyes of the mystic seeker.
The spiritual pilgrimage brings the yearning wayfarer
Back from the sense of separation to the joy of union. From God,
We are born and to God, we return. This truth seeking, eye opening,
Soul unfolding journey is a journey inward to the mecca of our being
Wherein lies the vision of eternal divine.
That is the perennial fountain where truth spring from and
Where timeless peace dwells; in the state of union,
Ego dissolves, identity fades, and ”I” ceases to exist,
All what remains is the vision of immortal omnipresent.
We transcend our aura of distinctive selves, and make our graceful entry
In the realm of sacramental divinity; we lose ourselves in him, and joy gushes
From learning this art of losing.
We each are alone on this mystic pathway, at distinctive standpoints in this way
To fulfillment, this quest for the eternal.
Yet we are all holy wayfarers, crossing each other’s paths to serve and
To mingle, to share the grief and joy, sorrow and happiness as we encounter
One another in the many bends of life.
In every remembrance of the heart,
With each and every loving breath, we exhale the love of God.
As we learn to hold the supreme consciousness in our heart of hearts,
We uncover the hidden mystery of our merging in oneness with God
And our ecstasies surge in the awakening of this consciousness.

He is the soul of all souls, the breath of all breath,
We are the mortals with this soul of eternal quest,
With a blooming thousand petal lotus in purity inside of us,
The unheard drum of perennial contentment lies deep within us,
The spring of timeless joy wells from us.
The bee of my heart is deeply plunged in joy, we rarely hear the mystic music,
The cords of an age- old song ties our hearts to his, while the holy fountain dwells
Between the poles of finite and infinite, time and the timeless.
Echoes his music, across the whirling cosmos, the current of sanctity
Flows in the ocean, unveiling the mystery of birth and death;
The rhyme of love and detachment sings the tune since primordial times,
The flowing of sacred waters heals as the ocean breaks forth in bursting joy;
As mortals are entranced in a rapturous rhapsody of celestial joy,
Our hearts taste the wine of ineffable, formless, timeless joy.
The infinite, unattainable, omniscient, omnipotent,
Who lights the divine effulgence,
The illumination of wisdom is the eternal inner light of the soul.
Drinking from the cup of exhaling essences of love,
We, the drops of ocean, merge ourselves in the
Supreme ocean of bliss.
Sipping the nectar of life,
Free from the fear of the cycle of birth and death,
Swim this swelling sea to the other shore.
Merging finite with infinity,
The cosmos is filled with an ethereal music,
The raining of nectarine bliss, the jingling of harp strings,
The light of this eternal truth illumines the universe.
And drunken with this divine ecstasy,
I whirl as the wheels of existence go on spinning;
Our souls dwell with the harmonic music singing in all,
As the effulgent light of it,
Radiates the cosmos with a resplendent glow.
Spreads a hue of celestial bliss and peace;
Honeycomb of an immortal truth is discovered,
Churning the infinite, bottomless ocean of divinity;.
His radiance from heart’s cave,
Dispels all the darkness;
His form is pure and unmingled,
His words balm many afflicted souls,
Burns many egos to incense the souls;
Delving in the inner spring of bliss,
We taste that unshakeable love.
Love that is noble and pure is,
Free from the earthly desires and fire of ego,
Purity sparkles from all the blazes of desires,
That guides our souls to an oasis of awareness.
DIVINE JOY
Being transcendental and detached from the flashing desires of materialism,
Hues our pages of life with a brush of grace;
Life itself gets the blessings of holy, precious, sacred showering,
As the intrinsic designs of our tapestry of life get enriched with the
Multitudes of divine shades.
God spins the wheels of creation,
This beautiful cosmos is in a sweet, harmonic, rhythmic dance;
With compassions’ graceful touch, mercy’s elegant hues,
The universe is always soaked in divine light.
The Earth is flooded in dazzling heavenly beams;
Yearning for that day,
When the bliss of union with divine encompasses the heart;
With this unending love, the balm soothes my blaze of agony,
As the quench consuming my soul and body,
Clasps me to thyself; singing the dissolving tunes
Of an eternal union, that rhythms with mine.
Penetrating my spirit and releasing me from this love-drunk thirst,
Spraying a perfume in my heart,
Where heavenly laughter mingles with my essence,
I gaze silently at the voiceless beauty of his.
Divinity descends on the soundless longing of mine,
As my spirit is clasped within his boundless love,
A virgin soul is born merging with omnipotent rays of eternal glory;
The vastness of ocean in my heart releases in an everlasting peace,
Dispelling the ephemeral whispers of darkness;
Thy spirit rises from the ocean of immortality.
Silencing the soundless cries of struggle,
As my spirit beams with the gleaming rejoice in communing
With the timeless and formless;
The realm of transcending glory of Oneness radiates forth,
And slowly emerges a glorious vision from the clasp of timeless silence.
My heart presses to the bosom of Infinite, endless compassion,
The love of his infinite beauty envelops me,
With an unfathomable joy and limitless vastness of ecstasy;
A light of which transcends the darkness.
Truthfulness transcends falsehood,
Surpassing the pinnacled summits of finite visionary realms;
And dawns in the world of infinity,
Immersed in the joy of Supreme, absolute wholeness.
TEMPLE IN MY HEART
In the temple of sacred devotion in my heart,
I light a burning lamp of enlightenment;
In the depths of my soul,
The commingled oil yearns to seek thy vision.
Emerges a soaring of perfumed incense of longing,
To bow at the altar of thy immortality;
Our sacred prayers are glistening in the presence of thy Omnipotent vision,
As God’s love embraces humanity and speaks the one holy language,
Language of the flowering heart.
With a bouquet of devotion hued soul whispers,
Emerges an ineffable joy of plunging;
In your sea of transcending, perennial beauty,
We mortals seek to be enfolded in thy sheltering love,
As thy heart throbs of a universal, all-encompassing love.
We are the petals of thy all-embracing tenderness,
Thou art the flower of universal love,
Who floods our souls with the fragrance of divinity;
We awaken into spiritualized mortals,
Illuminating with the wisdom of thy manifestation;
As we adorn ourselves with the pearls of thy omnipotence,
We enlightened mortals pass though portals of oneness love,
Wherein lies the myriad of hues of multi faith, multi religion.
Placing an aromatic bouquet of multi beliefs hued with veneration,
At the altar of thy lotus feet, the rarest rubies of thy love,
Dazzlingly embellish our bodies; clustered to encircle our neck,
That shines with a radiance of thy kindness.
Ages of our ignorance dissolve in thy light,
Awakening from the slumbers of pain,
I find myself garlanded with blessings;
The smoldering wicks of our quest turn to the
Blazes of heart melted yearnings,
To behold thy universal omnipotent presence.
Our souls crave to unlatch the sacred gateway,
Leading to the temple of liberation and ultimate salvation;
The bird of our eternal spirit soars freely,
In the aura of an azure firmament,
To sing a universal song of a heart melting oneness.
CELESTIAL LOVE
An intoxicated oneness of union with divine,
Stretches out the arms in love, welcoming the seasons of life;
Bestow the fragrance of joy on the meadow adorned nature,
As your spirit delves into the unknown in search of an enlightened truth.
Washing away the pangs of pain in the tides of life,
Eternal love has befriended my soul, and I arise beyond the realms of finite;
My deepest thoughts have become my intimate lovers,
Lighting the lamp in my heart as it yearns for All that is.
Cultivating my heart to the deepest of depths,
Sowing the seeds of longing for the unknown infinity,
Soaring myself in God’s limitless azure skies,
I immerse myself in the celestial realm of sacred love.
Forsaking the torments of separation from God,
Eternal is the spirit whose heart awakens to the celestial love;
Soaking your soul in the healing waters of grace,
While it flourishes with the essence in a perfume of divinity.
So I seek not the mystery of earthly secrets,
And embrace the sacred celestial existence;
A divine song swells in the heart,
While the tunes of joy echo in the stretch of infinity.
My soul forsakes all the treasures that mortals boast,
Overcome by the desire of yearning to unite with God;
I am blissfully awakened in the sea of Union,
Being flooded with the waters of his unending generosity.
Ethereal love sings in the abode of our hearts,
As the veil separating us from reality becomes unveiled;
One experiences thereby a deep joy from this nearness and,
Hearts become flooded with a profound perception of beauty.
It is a love provoking wound, the soul-searching cry,
Arising from a soul drunk with the love of almighty;
Each heart is in communion with another,
And spirits are commingled in harmony.
Love pervades in all, unveiling the clouds of ego,
And the light of each spirit merges with the light of God;
As the celestial ray purifies the chambers of heart,
Unlocking the doors to mysteries of life’s passing shadow.
DIVINE MELODY
The agony of vain endless search,
Dwelling in our souls,
Leads to a manifestation of immortal truth,
Bursting forth like a thousand suns.
Moments of sacred epiphanies,
Heals our sense of estrangement;
From all divine light embodied spirits,
The yearning struggles to unveil the secrets of existence.
My soul purged from the dross of desires,
In him I find my salvation and freedom;
As I dissolve the pearl of my soul in his blissful nectar,
The wine of divine truth raises me to the life after life,
Everlasting.
As my heart beat rhythms with thine,
In the flashes of golden joy; the spirit leaps in a boundless freedom,
In the divine vision of your everlasting peace.
Our parched lips wander in the quest for quenching waters of bliss,
As the mortal soul receives from the eternal soul,
The illuminated pearls of wisdom,
The heart clasps to cherish the amethysts of compassion.
As I tread the path of kindness into the horizon beyond,
Loosing myself in the eternal call of divinity;
I journey into the depths of my inmost self,
Where my mine of treasures radiates in the dazzling sunbeams.
There lies my soul’s amethyst spark;
As I hearken to the flute of the soul of souls,
It bursts out in endless divine melodies,
Setting the music of my soul free.
From the sense of clinging and attachment,
I fly in the paradise of celestial realm;
And rejoice in my essence of salvation,
As the dawn breaks into my soul’s awakening.
Blessings shower from the altar of eternity,
Radiating the cosmos with the light of heart;
In union with light of God, I sing the song of my soul,
Attuned to the music of the whirling universe.
The light gently penetrates my heart,
Melting me in the light of purity and grace,
His healing touch turns my soul,
To a fountain of celestial light where love awakens in a light.
As in oyster shells his compassion drops become pearls;
Becoming the rarest gem of life,
While they Immerse in the eternal glory,
The pearls scatter in the blooming universe.
DIVINE CREATION
The kissing of the sunbeams,
The song of nightingales,
The glorious greeting of the dawn to the earth,
The caressing of silver dew on the grass,
The gentle unfolding of its secret mysteries,
The passing of the morn breeze,
While droplets of love,
Tenderly fall like autumnal leaves.
God’s love is written in
The miracles of sunrise and sunset,
In the opalescent dayspring and saffron eventide,
Its manifold beauties spring in us,
As a blessed release from the clouds of worries,
Weaving the sacred wonders of his creation,
And cascading them all on the bosom of this Earth.
Gentle rain of compassion showers the earth,
Germinating the seeds of universal love,
In the soil of this universe;
Souls blossom in the dazzling rays of sunlight,
As radiance penetrates the bosom of this universe
And the whispers of heaven,
Dance in our hearts.
DIVINE TRUTH
I am the soul sky of mingling spirits,
I am the running stream of compassion,
Flowing in abundance;
The sun of eternal soul light,
The night of heart’s delight,
Walks in the pace of grace,
In this endless space.
Dews of utterance come to my lips,
Drops of truth churning serenity,
Glistening rivulets of purity,
And truth flow from the lips;
This embedded divine secret,
Coiled in a shell,
Peeps in a mortal’s soul.
Dwells his vision in the shrine of peace;
Let the truth fall from my lips,
It is a vision of formless, nameless God,
In every soul that you behold.
Yearning for the Loved One,
Longing penetrates every cell of mine,
The eyes shedding tears like a shower of rain,
His shining face appeared to me in a vision,
And fragrance emanated in profusion;
The universe dissolves in his celestial eyes;
His face is the essence of enlightened life.
Life of the entire cosmos,
His steady gaze speaks
The eloquence of heavenly love;
The bejeweled glory of God,
All other worldly glories,
Emanate from the universal glory
Of the faceless One,
Ever since diversity blended into unity,
Merging in the bliss of the Ultimate Reality.
Mortals discover the pearl of purity,
Ivory of truth, opalescence of grace;
That grants us a glimpse of thy endearing face.
May those moments of bliss come back,
And bring the beautiful miracles of healing,
Do not deny my soul a glimpse of your eternal beauty,
Let us offer the flowers of purity,
At the altar of God.
Emitting the blissful fragrance of it,
He that is my souls’ repose,
Encircles as a garland round my heart;
And the soul of bliss,
Laughs from my earthy bed;
I rise for the Fount of Living mirth,
Exquisite divine light and freedom,
Concealed are the divine drops,
In the mausoleum of heart,
And the treasure trove of celestial pearls.
DIVINE FRAGRANCE
Words arise from the heart of universe, garden of my soul, spring times of nature,
The sweet drops drip from the nectar of my spirit;
The revelation of inner divinity, the consciousness of me in you and you in me,
As we unfold the flower of truth;
We weave the web of interconnectedness and
Laughter dances in the breeze of this universe.
You and I are pristine reflections of celestial light,
Immersing in the lake of divinity we find our mirror image in each other;
Drops soaked in unleashing compassion and love,
And the light of divine healing touch gently penetrates many wounded souls;
And the symphony of oneness streams in our souls,
The floral essence of your tenderness pulls the cords of my soul,
Sowing the seeds of laughter in the ornamental garden of my heart,
Gently letting the buds open with Gods’ grace poured on them,
To spread the bloom of love and a fragrance of happiness.
This golden thread of love knots the dispersed hearts together,
Encircling them in a divine circle of oneness;
May our souls find the anchor in the sea of despair and distress,
May we find love in the depths of an eternity,
May we find trails of happiness in this wilderness of life,
May joy blossom as a myriad hued flower on the jaggedness of weariness,
May forgiveness spring from the fountain of mercy cascading in our souls,
May we find the light of awareness at the pinnacle of life,
May we seek shelter in the lap of eternal contentment.
Behold divinity in the dancing rays of sun, blooming petals, in the soft snowflakes,
And the moments of our lives splendor in divine remembrance;
As the kisses of God awaken us every enchanting morn,
We rest in the sunset of our days in the solace of timeless tranquility,
As our lives ripen in the lap of beautiful divinity,
A blissful grandeur gently enfolds all the moments of our lives,
As we breathe in the awakening of divine fragrance.
CELESTIAL BLISS
The flowering of love blossoms in the lap of celestial bliss,
The drops that rain from earth’s lips,
The awakening that emerges from heaven shaken rumbling,
Our soul bursts in that garden of joy in a blithesome spirit,
A garden of morning glory blooms in the expanse of our hearts,
As the moonflowers burst forth in myriad blossoms at the
Caressing of gentle spring breeze,
And flows freely the perfumes of our souls lingering in delight.
Love births as an eternal enticement of life,
As the poetry of hearts, the bursting forth of heavenly joy,
The blissful showers of Eden on Earth.
Love is the beacon of hope when the clouds of despair
Blanket our minds;
Love eloquently speaks in the language of a wordless silence,
Enchanting whispers and rainbows of hope.
And soul blossoms at the resplendent light of compassion,
And the twilight of tenderness,
Sending thrills into the heart of silvery night;
Hope blooms in the unfolding of petals,
Faith sings in the songs of soul moon,
As they wipe the tears of weeping sorrow
And turn them to love’s delight.
Full blown rose unfolds its heart in the ecstasy of soul garden,
From the seeds of love grows the flowers of tomorrow’s beatitude,
Love was reared in the lap of compassion;
And dances in rhythmic, blithesome swaying of soul flowers;
As we sip the dew of love in dawn’s first awakening,
We embrace the slumber of yesterday’s pail of sorrow.
Love is the compassion wreath, the souls’ divine gift,
The treasured memories of moment’s joy,
The fragrance with which the breeze is scented,
The dancing of the glistening light,
The soft moonbeams clasping the earth in love,
And the stardust twinkling in delight,
The sprightly flower is smiling,
In the wake of a promising dawn.
Seeds of compassion scatter in the garden of harmony,
Love is the light of eternity, the saga of humanity,
Love moves in silence to touch the depths of souls.
DIVINE ECSTASY
Flowing into each other, we become swept away in a
Divine ecstasy and whirl and swirl in a divinely orchestrated
Cosmic dance which awakens us, arousing our sleeping souls.
To feel them is to feel me and we attain a transcendental state
Of indescribable joy finding its wings of freedom; Love is the gateway
To oneness; the breath of universal oneness consumes our every
Waking wondrous moment.
There is a divine joy in the desire to merge our minds and
Spirits in this flow of harmony, a communion with all,
A union so longed for. From this union, an enlightenment
Births in the floral garden of humanity; God’s compassionate vision
Is reflected in the eyes of our soul, radiant in its magnificence.
The soul lives in the waking memory of its eternal abode
In the lap of Omnipotent and this knowing of the timeless truth
Awakens the inner eyes of the mystic seeker.
The spiritual pilgrimage brings the yearning wayfarer
Back from the sense of separation to the joy of union. From God,
We are born and to God, we return. This truth seeking, eye opening,
Soul unfolding journey is a journey inward to the mecca of our being
Wherein lies the vision of eternal divine.
That is the perennial fountain where truth spring from and
Where timeless peace dwells; in the state of union,
Ego dissolves, identity fades, and ”I” ceases to exist,
All what remains is the vision of immortal omnipresent.
We transcend our aura of distinctive selves, and make our graceful entry
In the realm of sacramental divinity; we lose ourselves in him, and joy gushes
From learning this art of losing.
We each are alone on this mystic pathway, at distinctive standpoints in this way
To fulfillment, this quest for the eternal.
Yet we are all holy wayfarers, crossing each other’s paths to serve and
To mingle, to share the grief and joy, sorrow and happiness as we encounter
One another in the many bends of life.
In every remembrance of the heart,
With each and every loving breath, we exhale the love of God.
As we learn to hold the supreme consciousness in our heart of hearts,
We uncover the hidden mystery of our merging in oneness with God
And our ecstasies surge in the awakening of this consciousness.

The Ecstatic Dance of Life
I AM LOVE
I am the fountain of peace, lake of tranquility,
I am the lips of blooming youth,
I am the wine of soul and rose of nature’s bosom,
I am the glimpse of beloved through amorous eyes.
I am the elation, the sacred shrine in the heart of
An innocent child;
The chalice of my love overflows with divine grace,
I am the rose whom lover’s lips have touched.
The dawn breaks with the echo of my heart song,
And whispers in the twilight; I am the beating heart inside of you,
The twinkling star in the night sky, the ardent desire in the swell of passion,
I am the tremulous lips parted in delight, an expression of love’s rhapsody.
I breathe fragrance into your heart’s essence, tearing away the veil
Of your sorrowful sigh, I am the flute which plays music to your ears,
I am the nature’s call, the echo of mountains, the wild dance of a swelling ocean.
I am the blazing fire of love arousing your soul to an eternal call;
I flow towards the beloved like a dancing stream; I am the sweetness of your soul,
Who fondles the book of caressing memories, beckoning you to be lost in my heart call.
I am the lost gem of love that your hungry soul has been searching for years;
I am the loving wreath of moments of happiness,
Your name, engraved on my heart shines as a rarest treasure;
That sparkles, illuminates on my desolate soul.
From thee I arise, and to Thee I surrender;
You are the gushing spring of my ecstasy,
As the wine of my life rests in the chalice of your heart,
Your lips press it to mine, sipping a sap of it,
I die to rebirth in that soul wine.
Beyond all language, beyond all words, wherein lies the land
Of enchanting silence; a paradise where lovers yearn to dissolve,
And clasp the timeless love to their bare bosom.

The Ecstatic Dance of Life
As I dissolve in the radiant sunbeams kissing,
my soul turns to an ecstatic songbook;
The light of truth encompasses me,
and I melt in the eternal purity of it,
As I whirl in a drunken bliss.
I sip what you sip, the harmonic intonation of all souls;
As we merge in a resplendent pleasure,
My heart sings of the quintessence of divinity;
While my soul bursts forth in an euphoric bliss,
I dance being a love drunk soul....
