Happy Vishu!
“Only through opening our heart and mind can we find His world which is full of bliss in the midst of this world which is full of hurdles. Children, without a spirit of forgiveness and humility, we cannot know God or earn the guru’s grace. The man of courage is one who can forgive even when anger rises uncontrollably. When we press down the button, the umbrella unfolds and gives us protection from the rain and sun. but if the button refuses to go down, nothing happens. When the seed goes under the soil, it sprouts and becomes a tree. When it is a tree, we can tie even an elephant to it. But if the seed refuses to surrender, refuses to get out of the see basket and go underground, it may end up as food for a mouse.”

Reflection Your curls dance in the breeze Furl and unfurling, Waves on the sea, Butterflies flutter in the garden, My eyes barely follow. Your fingers fly in discourse A flock of birds, a school of fish, Forming languages, meanings, connections That converge and disappear on the surface of the sea, I hear your song but understand nothing. In your eyes I see the night sky Black, bright, endless. I know not who I am in your gaze Their burning intensity leaves me naked before you. What life have I with you? All I do is follow you and when you see me I disappear. In your vastness I too am the butterfly in your garden, the wave crying for the shore, the flickering lamp at the Temple gate. ~Vandya H. |
