A Compassionate Moment

A Compassionate Moment

 

Oh my heart!

there in a compassionate moment

the door was flung open -

that crumbling wall of fear transcended

when you showed me the world -

as seen in the context of that wall.

 

Oh heart! such a wall was myself!

This! Ego - Me!

Taking to Will, consciousness

to go into the world -

seeking my own reflection - seeing Me!

Seeing the reflections of love

i gave - or would not....

 

Oh Dear One, seeing all that pain -

those reflections of Me -

as i loved you - or not...

Each resembling directly

some level of loving or lovelessness;

Knowing directly - You My Heart -

as i loved you or not.

 

One day you helped me write of empathy -

of sympathy - you showed me their impotence;

then of deliberate projection -

for validations return -

you spoke of Egos' game-allowing delusions

to exist mutually separate.

 

Oh spirit of truth, following you

following the patterns you drew in the sand

breaking the mirror of individuation-

that tells of one's nature unrealized;

An ultimate delusion removed

for love is my own reflection.

 

Once on the sky -

conscious of consciousness

such realization of one love

and ones love (so-called) -

while shining everywhere;

out there - the world

an identical reflection -

of you oh heart..

 

Oh Guru of truth to know you -

i must be you;

To be you i must love you;

To love you -

i must love all that exists

for that is You -

nothing exists but your heart.

 

Dear secret impossible compassion

One must realize what you are!

Oh Shakti of wonder -

such consciousness of you

is only possible as you -

not as a thought I am Me!

 

Oh to accept this -

this wonderous loving wonder

this deepest love of The Self

a conscious decision to love -

to love all as you - as me;

so afraid dear mind - so afraid.

 

Oh Rama, dear Rama!

Your secret -

loving you, it is you who love me;

but i must accept such worthiness -

to recieve such love;

Such love i am struck dumb -

that i deserve you!!

 

Ah! it is in loving that worthiness comes!

Ah! to love - loving -

such consciousness of that arises

such compassion oh Rama -

to love such deep deep consciousness

of you - You are love ...

 

In all that is - in every existent thing

the heart of all being - nothing

nothing but Rama in all!

Oh heart you must love!

 

Fair Chiti, understanding dawns -

the Gurus' secret shines in your reflection

yet hidden it must remain;

yet poets craft to allude to it

is fair enough -

this reflection of you.

 

Oh Krishna, once one loved -

long ago love -

lost now in the mire of mayas' illusion

reflection of love now realized -

found not by seekers for aeons -

your love realized -

hidden in hearts.

 

Ah! There! There!

The Guru dear Shiva!

Oh consciousness a secret -

Love your being This!

Nothing - naught but you -

loving this love beyond delusion

The Guru shines in freedom.
