Great laughing Buddha, jester, seer of the light and pain-filled mystery

You are the one who dances through my heart

When times are tough

You teach me to acknowledge all the forces I see shaping me

Into the nothingness, that I'm not Only;

Fully embodied,

Coaxing me to come into your arms and hold you

With my Life force

I cower in a corner, afraid of your beauty

But you are stronger, and you pull me in toward you

Till there is no other, only meeting,

And we swirl into this bagatelle

As One

 

In that sunset, the whole world arises...

In the crashing of the water below the trees, the curve of liquid hugging each rock,

I Am.

The sky is singing praises to my soul...

The being I am is praising the sky!

Walking, every smell and texture wakes to find itself noticed.

The wonder of the forms and senses gives my being structure;

I am the consciousness that has no form,

And so every sensation has a home in me,

Creates itself to be

The expression of this Greatest Love

The Universe cannot contain the enormity of This!

Ramesh, king Vishnu,

Bramha,

Guru of the ocean

I am floating in your depth, though

I have risen to the surface from a time when I’d forgotten myself

You remind all that I am

To be

In  bliss.

 

My Mother, my Father,

Me:

What more can You be,

The holy trinity

Alive  As My Life

Oh God,

You knew I knew, and sent me to Hell to claim it as My Own

And so I rest here, in this Heart filled Truth

And nurse

True Freedom

Yellow coconut smashed open!

Is how I feel.

I’m exploding into sweetness, into fleshy fullness, into THIS.

The bliss of cracking WHO I AM

And seeing through the structure of the tightly bound NOT ME

I come crashing down onto the softness of the grass which catches me!

Into the openness and freedom of the whole palm itself.

I’m one with ALL THAT IS and ALL that seems to be, is nothing

Blessed secret YOU have kept for me to hear

ALONE I am rejoicing with the sky, and with the clouds

For I AM: rained on, sunny, wind or snow

Cannot take away this understanding…..



Do not be afraid to share in your sweetness – taste it!!

Let it spread around and share the joy of blissfulness in Being WHO YOU ARE.

Wondrous, ecstatic gift of the Self, which can never be repeated…..

Spreads like fire in the opening to THIS

which tastes like sweetness, softness; nothing hard, but firm and tender, white and pure,

tasty and delicious

Like the open night sky.

 

I am mute.

Mute with Love.

Mute with ecstasy and bliss.

And with eternal Longing for the amber of your soul;

For Me, I am the merchant who will give you the best value:

I will polish you and tend to you,

And keep you visible to Light.

And You, I know your longing is to shine with my own Hand.

The cloth I bear for polishing is soft and of the chicest cashmere:

Do not sell yourself to anybody else

For there, you'll find the cheapness of your

Bargain.

 

Leaves of deepest green, rejoice in light-filled splendour

While the cave of amethyst says come in, enter deepest space.

In Oneness, where your smile descends upon me in a coral blaze of light:

I lift my heart to you, and find the uplifting song of truth

Tingle up my spine.

Your very mention gives my being wonder and joy-filled openness...

I will go.

You have come for me.

 

She's Playing in my heart

She's playing in my heart.
Whatever I think, I think Her name.
I close my eyes and She's in there
Garlanded with human heads.

Common sense, know-how-gone,
So they say I'm crazy. Let them.
All I ask, my crazy Mother,
Is that You stay put. 

Ramprasad cries out: Mother, don't
Reject this lotus heart You live in
Don't despise this human offering
At Your feet.

  

-  Ramprasad Sen

 

Inside, I am quivering with ecstasy,

Yet outside I am frozen by a storm I can feel taking hold;

This body, just an instrument of fate, to which I'm destined to succumb

And, bowing down,

I kneel at the alter of my freedom

Heart on fire,

Hands outstretched to take the blow.

Oh sweetness, that this strike is at the root of all I've ever known,

And nothing can be placed in context, everything is new and

Fresh and saturated with the light of freedom, light of Love.

Peace, and rain fall softly on the earth, I hold my breath and

Move down into what I always feared of taking hold,

This livelihood

This real Self Now witnessing my freedom.
