A BEAUTIFUL RIDE

 A BEAUTIFUL RIDE 

My body is a chariot 

My mind is King 

My soul is the driver 

Controlling the swing 

I humbly ride around 

Listening to inner voice 

Ignoring the din 

And the outside noise 

Horses driving are seven 

purity ,peace ,power ,knowledge,

love ,happiness and bliss

Their energy is great 

They are souls true mates 

No accident till date 

I humbly drive around 

Loosing myself first 

To quench my thirst 

Reins are restricted 

Mind is a witness 

Passing thoughts are watched 

Sometimes ducked and dodged

I  humbly  ride around 

Holding  the reins  right 

Guided by the divine light 

I look up to feel HIS grace 

Reins held tight restrict all desires 

Lust greed attachment ego rage 

The five outer worldly fires 

Free from this tempting cage 

Content with what I acquire 

I  humbly ride around ,

Trying not to be  aroused 

By any sight  or sound 

Each weather is like spring 

There is happiness in everything 

No enemy  no  bee sting 

Everywhere love  is abound 

Surrounded by a joyful  sound 

I humbly  ride around 

Feeling HIS endless blessings 

So caring and  profound 

God has changed my vision

All I perceive here glistens 

I see myself in others 

We are brothers and sisters 

We are all children of  God 

I humbly ride around 

Spreading love and smiles 

Over miles and miles 

 God let this trance continue 

Let it not break in two 

Bless me to enjoy this bliss 

Love laugh dance and sing 

Revel this divine soul kiss 

Let me humbly ride around 

Savor  the beauty abound 

Life is truly wonderful !!!

Thank you God 

This ride is so very beautiful !!!

OCEAN OF HAPPINESS OF MY MIND मेरे मन का सुख सागर

 O God bless me !!!

In the ocean of happiness of my mind 

I want to drown and sleep peacefully primed 

I searched and searched for you and cried 

It's been ages now and still you manage to hide 

Birth and death are  illusions of your creation 

Where can I find you Lord to bless me with salvation 

With out  your grace O lord  their is no wisdom 

I crave  for your love  and blessings to feel wholesome 

How not to feel disturbed any more by Joy and sorrow 

Only when I find you will i feel liberated from tomorrow 

My mind yearns to be lost in eternal  bliss and peace 

The soul submerged silently in you to dissolve and cease 

O God bless me !!!

In the ocean of happiness of my mind 

I want to drown and sleep peacefully primed

GODS SAYS "I LOVE YOU" IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS

Sitting under the tree with flowers and  birds 

in silence ,did you hear what I heard ? 

My heart leaped with joy and stirred 

Do you want to know those magic words ? 

" I love you "

Trees sway joyfully to and fro in the breeze 

"I love you "they rhythmically chime with ease 

Flowers red ,yellow , purple and blue 

In a melodious chorus sing " I love you " 

Birds flying above in the clear sky tweet 

"I love you dear soul ,you are so sweet " 

Clouds glide elegantly merging with the  blue sky 

Whisper enchantingly "I love you " as they sail by 

River  flows gracefully meandering around 

Chanting merrily"I love you " in a soft sound 

The mountains echo loudly far and wide 

" I love you ,never ever leave my side " 

Warm sun rays embrace and kiss the peaks 

Murmuring "I love you ,you are unique " 

Our loved ones hugs and the squeeze of their hands 

Sparkle in their eyes is unspoken "I love you"unplanned

Friends shaking hands and greeting "how do you do?"

Are really smiling and expressing  "I love you " 

I see God in everything here and everywhere as I pray 

It's HIS message"I love you" that they lovingly convey 

Our Awesome God  never fails to remind us every day 

I love you ..I love you .in so many different ways !!!

Yes this is HIS love I can feel it ! 

Gods love comes to us from different mediums 

unfortunately we are sometimes quite blind to it........

I do know that  It would be hard  for me to convince about  this to some .Yet for those who are truly devoted to HIM  it is not very difficult to perceive HIS love .I witness love all around me here .God is the greatest lover of mankind and all his creations .

Sometimes I wonder which is greater in magnitude HIS love for us or our love for HIM  ? On second thoughts  I feel  our love can never equal the love HE has for us.

Despite  the changing  seasons of happiness and sorrow HE remains in our heart and is always  there to carry us in his lap .When we are in pain his love gives us strength and courage to  be able to bear it till it passes away .Ups 

and downs of the material world are our own Karmas and  have nothing  to do with HIS love for us .HE is very impartial as we learn from Bhagwad Gita 9.29 

samo 'ham sarva-bhutesu 

na me dvesyo 'sti na priyah 

ye bhajanti tu mam bhaktya 

mayi te tesu capy aham

I am present equally in all beings. 

There is no one hateful or dear to Me. 

But, those who worship Me with devotion, 

they are with Me and I am also with them.

We should not look for HIS love in fulfilling our materialistic desires. HE loves us as HE is always giving us wisdom to set us free from maya,its illusion,its bondage ,ways to self-realization and to  love others the same way as HE 

loves us all .

Sant Kabir says 

Preeti jo laagi ghuli gayi, paight  gayi man maanhi.

Rom rom piu-piu karahee , mukha ki sardha  naahi. 

I am in love ...Love has captured my being in such a way as if it is melted in me and has entered my mind and heart 

Not only my mouth but every pore of my body is thirsty like a bird

LIFE IS PRECIOUS LIVE IT WITH A PURPOSE

LIFE IS PRECIOUS LIVE IT WITH A PURPOSE 

Life is adorable and extremely precious 

A cherished gift from God so very gracious 

Let it not pass away in hurting and weeping 

Let it not pass away in dreaming and sleeping 

Explore your potentials with an optimistic feeling 

Value dearly every lub dub of your hearts beating 

Live life with positive fragrance and meaning

Counted come your breaths and beats from above 

Don't waste them use them for spreading  love 

One day the heart will still and the breath will stop

That day you will be knocked out from this box 

On which day will your  life's count  reach zero 

Neither does the villain know nor  the hero 

Live fully in the present moment every single day 

Don't only work but also laugh,love and play 

Give unto others all that you want to get 

Give only that which you will never regret 

Be an embodiment of spiritual virtues and pray 

Sing gratitude to God for all that comes your way 

Every adversity has a hidden opportunity

Joy in small miracles defines your  humanity 

To be happy you don't need to have the best 

To be happy with what you have is Gods test 

Don't sweat the small stuff let it fade away 

Keep smiling and spread smiles on your way 

What you give to others over here 

Is what you will get from up there 

Love with attachment is what most confess 

It's this attachment that causes distress 

For when you give them what they expect 

They love you only till the next breath 

And when you can't or don't give what they like 

Then they feel hurt and they hurt you and strike 

Thats when you must listen to your soul voice 

Don't get disturbed but exert your free choice 

Peacefully accept them for thats only wise 

Understand with love and send only good vibes 

With a mind free of  spite ,malice or disguise 

As long as disparity between mind and heart thrives 

You will stray away from the real significance of life 

When mind sees the mirror of the heart and soul

You will realize it is God guiding you as a whole

Surrender to his wishes and accept his control

Live this precious life as .....

A  loving compassionate bliss filled peaceful soul 

Listen to your inner voice to slowly reach your goal 

Your goal to come back home and unite with your source

Communion with God is your strength and steering force 

Diving  again and again in this ocean of life  like a pearl diver we keep on searching for pearls in this illusionary world to enrich our life with happiness .peace ,love and bliss but ultimately  we realize that it's all within us .We need to dive into our inside Our very BEING is the immortal soul ,ever blissful, and an indivisible part of God himself. The entire purpose of our existence is to facilitate the realization of who and what we really are and to live life with purity ,peace ,love and bliss

Pushpa Chaturvedi 

PEACE COMES FROM WITHIN

PEACE COMES FROM WITHIN 

Peace ,happiness and love are our essential  innate nature. Looking into the eyes of an innocent little baby clearly reveals that we are all born with peace and  bliss in tune with our beautiful soul our very true being .

Over time, it seems to be the most natural thing to connect with the outside world and  in the maze of the noise and desires we stray away from the path of love and peace which slowly gets veiled with love for power and greed thus creates strands of violence and  hatred .

Inner peace comes with practicing love ,humility, honesty, patience and accepting all as life unfolds and it stays permanently only when ego and pride are washed away .We are then able to calmly see all our mistakes and work on them to fill our day with joy and peace.

To do at each moment the best we can do and not to  worry but to leave the result to the Divine's decision at his feet is the ultimate way to peace and happiness 

Where did you loose your inner peace today ? It's worth introspecting daily to be able to work on self .Only when we develop inner peace can we bring peace  to others in this world 

Dive and drown in the  deep ocean of peace 

This demanding body and  restless mind  must cease 

Let the beautiful loving soul shine and lead
There is no other zealous better way to plead 

Even after  you sing Vedic verses of Godly praise 

Its  only with peace within  that you feel God's grace 

Even after you have travelled to temples far and wide 

Peace within is the ultimate pilgrimage of life to abide 

Peace within is awakened at the Divine Feet of  God 

Surrender  with love and devotion and see HIM nod 

Peace is  not given by asking HIM in prayers 

It comes when you live life with the wisdom HE shares .

Ego and pride slowly dissolve with each dive 

Anger , greed  and hate have no reason to survive 

Happiness,love,forgiveness,humility and integrity thrive 

Heart  dances blissfully in a peaceful rhythmic drive  

Materialism can never give peace and tranquility 

Spirituality is the mantra for serenity and equanimity 

Peace radiates spiritual energy and reposes calm 

Mental peace heals emotions like a soothing balm 

Dive and drown in the deep ocean of peace 

There is no other amended way to appease 

There is no  healthier radiance then peace 

Pray in silence with faith ,bow and bend your knees 

SILENT SATSANG

The silence  which unfolds  within as we lie in the human arms of our heart  helps us to find peace Until we have stepped into the silent meadows and green  valleys of our heart, a part of our life will always be empty.

Silence carries us to our inner most sanctuary within our heart. An empty space within which is our  part of being human. It is a space calling us to find our own personal sanctuary. 

Making friends with this empty part of life one finds a vastness of peace .In silence we find the steps within to surrender and accept everything that is  in the present. It is in silence that we get all our power  step by step to come home to our inner sanctuary because In silence  only are there steps to realization to  live life with love ,humility ,compassion and perfect joy and bliss .

Words have no place here 

Silence rules to endear 

Nothing to be said any more 

A bliss filled vacuum to explore 

To be silent and contemplate 

To concentrate and meditate 

Time  to look  deep within 

To feel my true self under the skin

A gratifying current  passes through 

I look at who I AM anew 

A pleasant sensation of soul kiss 

Passing thoughts witnessed in bliss 

The worldly play was my creation 

You guided me in each situation 

Won sometimes and lost sometimes 

Illusions of restless mind at times 

One by one I leave all 

Nothing here is mine to call 

It's only my inside that I recall 

What is sprouting in me 

Is mysteriously dissolving  in me 

Beginning and end both have merged 

It's a new me that has emerged  

This journey leads to a peaceful road 

Silence has washed  away heavy loads 

Love is overflowing around 

Silence gives it a sweet sound 

Humility shines like the silent night stars 

Compassion grows slowly within the heart 

Feeling  free waiting for liberation 

I AM the eternal witness of creation 

Who cares now for life or death 

Nothing more to be done till last breath

Nothing to give or take any more 

Drowned in ecstasy of the silent glow

Words have no place here 

Silence rules to endear 

Nothing to be said any more 

A bliss filled vacuum to explore
