~Breathe In Me The Way To Love You~ by Paramahansa Yogananda

[Guest guest]

Jai Maa, beloved sisters and brothers!

i want to share this heart wrenchingly beautiful prayer/poem written

by Paramahansa Yogananda. i have adapted it slightly. It really

expresses everything i feel in my heart. i hope you find it as

inspiring as i do, dear ones!

 

BREATHE IN ME THE WAY TO LOVE YOU [slightly adapted by me]

 

Breathe in me the way to love You, Mother,

That i may learn to faultlessly love You.

Pour me the Wisdom-Wine

By which i become intoxicated with You.

 

Whisper in my Ears of Silence

The way to be with You always.

Speak to my wandering senses

And lead them back to Your sanctuary within.

 

Call the marauding mind and counsel it

How to retrace its steps to Your H OM E.

With Your Silent Eyes, just look at me,

And i will know where to find You.

 

You may hide behind the ocean,

You may hide behind delusion,

You may hide behind life,

You may hide behind dualities,

You may hide behind theological conundrums,

You may hide behind unanswered prayers,

 

But...

 

You cannot hide behind my love,

For in the Mirroring Light of my love,

 

YOU ARE REVEALED!

 

~P. Yogananda from "Songs of the Soul"

 

Jai Maa!

Dissolving slowly in Kali's Love,

Muktimaa
