"Truth is contradictory. And a wise is one who manages this contradiction. At times you have to feel totally responsible. And yet at times you have to wake up and see that you are not the doer!" -Sri Sri Ravishankar

Mea Culpa

mortal body
painful flesh
blood, beautiful blood
undying hunger
lustful needs
beauty, beauty of the divine
eyes, skin and the soul
sight, touch and nudity
what is left of me? what was mine to begin with?
beauty? skin?
nothing but the soul
nothing but me
what is mea culpa?
lust, greed?
nothing but thought
thought which is designed to manifest

Eden
Did you ever think of me, as your best friend?Did I ever think of you?
I am not complaining..
I never tried to feel, this vibration
I never tried to reach your Eden
Did I ever think of you, as my enemy?
Did I ever think of you?
I am complaining
I never tried to feel, this vibration
I never tried to reach,
never did really reach
your Eden.

नैहरवा.-Kabir

नैहरवा हम का न भावे...
साई कि नगरी ...परम अति सुन्दर,
जहाँ कोई जाए ना आवे
चाँद सुरज जहाँ, पवन न पानी,
कौ संदेस पहुँचावै
दरद यह... साई को सुनावै
आगे चालौ पंथ नहीं सूझे,
पीछे दोष लगावै
केहि बिधि ससुरे जाऊँ मोरी सजनी,
बिरहा जोर जरावे
विषै रस नाच नचावे
बिन सतगुरु आपनों नहिं कोई,
जो यह राह बतावे
कहत कबीर सुनो भाई साधो,
सपने में प्रीतम आवे
तपन यह जिया की बुझावे
नैहरवा...
-Kabir
There is none for me at my natal home
My beloved’s town is most beautiful
But, nobody goes there or returns
There is no moon, sun, wind or water
Who will take my message?
Then who will convey my pain to my beloved?
There is no visible path to move forward
and you blame the past for It
How may bride go to the house of her beloved?
Powerful pangs of separation are burning from Inside
Dual reality is fashioning a dance to its tune
There is none other than the Guru who is mine, who can tell me the way
Kabir says,
Listen oh Aspirant!
your beloved will come in a dream-like state
that alone will quench the thirst of your heart
