Stop looking with your eyes Start feeling through your heart And life will arise in your sight Stop thinking with your mind Start feeling with your heart And pain will dissolve in your light
Do you realise you’re the one who lifts sadness from them all? Do you understand it is done, we’re just watching darkness fall? Can you leave behind what is gone, and open to what is shown? ‘Cause if you can, if you can, and if you will, then you’re ready for it all
Stop listening with your ears Start breathing through your heart And the mists of time will divide Stop listening to your thoughts Sink down into your heart And the breath of life will decide
Do you realise you’re the one who gives credence to it all? As you release your mind, the whole thing will fall Can you look beyond to what’s true, and open to what is now? ’Cause if you can, if you can, and if you will, then you’re ready for it all
I don’t believe in the lightning that floors the trees But in its passionate force I retrieve myself Floating amid a dark storm I called grief It’s a bolt driven home through insanity’s hold
And I won’t believe in the self that was hateful I’m regenerated, born into stability Wrapped in the grace of my own last resort I find gentle humility turning to port
And my anchor’s not tied to the sea’s rocky floor Where it ripped up the surface and cut to the core It’s invested at last in a promise that’s kept As eternity melts into all that I’d wept for
And rids me of any last necessity To hold onto my fear or to doubt that I’m free As the sun glistens clear through the depths of the waves My presence is here and my past is erased
I am freedom’s welcome The increase in gravity offers my gratitude Peace and security The dream state released to a certain reality Home, I’m home, I’m home, I’m welcome home
And cast into the fire of all I once believed Is the certain release of all I have perceived And incredulously, I find myself free When I choose to accept total responsibility
And the only response I can give To all that I see now to ensure it lives Is to breathe it on home, and to know that it’s mine ’Cause perception’s a dream, and reflections divine
Are created the moment I open my mind To a generous beauty that words cannot find I allow myself here, I allow myself now Because everything else is as boring as hell
And reality’s sight is so deliciously Full of light and of freedom, the juicy totality Rises to greet the new mind that I am And all my reflections stand here hand in hand
We are freedom’s welcome The increase in sanity offers my gratitude Peace and security The dream state released to a certain reality Home, I’m home, I’m home, I’m welcome home
Grace, so still, invisible to me In each moment previously
Is holding my heart in the palm of its hand Is providing the runway on which I can land Is here and is now, in this space and this time Is directing these passions, providing these rhymes
We are freedom’s welcome The increase in frequency offers my gratitude Peace and security The dream state released to a certain reality Home, I’m home, I’m home, I’m welcome home
We are freedom’s welcome The increase in frequency offers my gratitude Peace and eternity The dream state released to a certain reality Home, I’m home, I’m home, I’m welcome home
Inspired by Sri Chimnoy, from Seventy Seven Thousand Service Trees
The beauty of self-giving Eventually grows into The fragrance of God-becoming.
Sri Chinmoy, Seventy Seven Thousand Service Trees, part 10, #18
In my loving service to you Let me be gratified in depths before unknown Unreached by chimes of playful servitude
Let me experience the need of my soul To give truly, unexceptionally, perfectly Without the mask of human intervention
Let me be released through giving to the joy of your true gratitude That welcomes all who come with gentle determination to be truly free
In my loving service to you Let me be taken apart and rendered unimaginable without you
In my loving service to you Let me at last in sincerity abide Let me at last to your wholeness attend Let me at last bequeath my wanting to your waiting heart And commit at last to wanting only you
Your intrinsic heaven is your constant gift to all who seek for meaning in it’s only home Your intrinsic wholeness is the life that beats it’s constant glorious drum Harmonising with Itself, attuning to it’s own accession with everything that it counts in as it’s own
Allow me to include myself in this heavenly, uniting chorus. Allow me to experience myself as truly part of your whole, expressive joy
Help me allow myself release of every boundary I have clung to As I learn to give myself, through my loving service To the guiltless ardour of your eternally encompassing arms
Heaven is the decision I must make. I make it now and will not change my mind, because it is the only thing I want.
Your answer is always some form of peace And I am alone again Chaos relieved and released A shambles of stories, beliefs Infinitely familiar Removed and uprooted, like brambles Cut back and displaced Erased, eradicated, reduced to nothing Lifted, risen, raised Above the battlefield again My mind is gentle You are here with me in love Angel of simplicity You are love All thoughts about things Eradicated, simplified, released There is nothing in my determination to be in conflict I choose peace You are with me and I have nothing else to choose I am still now Mind bent yesterday on defamation Of everything peaceful and clear Now you are with me I return into the simplicity of your love for me I return into the clarity of my total responsibility I return into the gentleness of my invulnerability I am released And you are here with me. Thank you Your answer is always some form of Peace
God’s Answer Is Some Form Of Peace. All Pain Is Healed; All Misery Replaced With Joy. All Prison Doors Are Opened And All Sin Is Understood As Merely A Mistake.
Be nothing here If you are something in a place of nothing You are nothing in a place of Everything
How to be nothing? Well, don’t be something! Divest yourself momentarily of the need to be something Divest yourself entirely of the need to be anything
Be nothing Let Everything show you what you are How can Everything show you One-thing If you’re already something (that is nothing?)
You are already Everything! Beyond That is nothing! Outside That is nothing.
You, here, now, divested of everything Be Nothing Know Nothing See Nothing Let yourself be shown Something
That, that pain is my mind That lashes out, indestructible, unrecognisable angst, hell-fire raging in the soul Temptation to drown, to crush and to kill That, that too is my mind
The world is my mind No escaping totality
Responsibility Whole and unequivocal Rests on my solid shoulders of separate self
Requires Desperately seeks Desires conversion
Receives totally In its totality
Perfectly simple Affording perfect peace
Separate self Alone in guilt Whole mind Releasing all of form
Ministry beginning Wholeness awakening in the one that says That, that, that is my mind
