Prayer to Devi

You are the beginning and the end of everything.

You are the consciousness that creates all that exists, the energy that pervades every atom, the void that devours all the universes.

You are form and formless, birth and death, source and goal.

O Devi! Let me worship at your feet.

You are loving mother, omnipotent goddess, ferocious destroyer of evil, serpent lightning  exploding up the spine.

You are the giver and the taker, the light and the darkness, the sun and the storm.

You are knowledge and wisdom, the source of all skill, the origin of all that is.

O Devi! Bless me with your sweet grace.

You are the cause of all causes, the divine enchantress, the exquisite perfection of Being.

 You are spell-binding beauty and transcendent grace, girl, woman and crone , the fearsome wielder of the sword of Time.

You are feminine power, enchanting perfection, infinite love, ecstatic bliss!

O Devi! Fill my heart with your Light.

      May your blessings heal , protect  and enlighten us all.

Waking Up From The Dream

“You are of the nature of the simplest of the simple. You are of the nature of the supremely majestic.

You are of the nature of the holiest of the holy. You are of the nature that has no higher or lower state.

You are of the nature of Awareness that is endless. You are of the nature that cannot be comprehended.

You are of a rare nature that is indescribable. You are of the nature of Truth-Consciousness-Bliss.”

Ribhu Gita. 2:24

Oh child of man!

You, who are the God of Gods, who are infinite, eternal, conscious, blissful perfection,

how did you lose your way?

Forgetting your true nature, you fell into a bag of tricks, a magician’s spell, a lotus eater’s hallucination!

You who are the pure, timeless ,deathless seed of seeds; one moment of distraction and you seem to have exploded into a forest of concepts and thoughts and endless reflections of worlds within worlds!

Trapped behind the looking-glass mind , you got lost in the endless movie of birth and death and rebirth, the time-space matrix of quantum illusion.

For untold ages, you wandered through different worlds, heavens and hells, desperately seeking that final satisfaction, that closure, that peace.

The truth is: you were never lost, you just forgot your own nature.

Awaken from the nightmare- it’s only a dream.

Remember your true nature: return to your true home.

Drop all concepts, all thoughts, all fantasies!

Plunge within into the depths of silence.

 All illusion is blown away without a trace.

Perfection blossoms in that stillness.

All that remains is the immaculate glory of Being.

Abiding Joy

“The Self is the source of abiding joy. Our hearts are filled with joy in seeing him enshrined in the depths of our consciousness. If he were not there, who would breathe, who live? He it is who fills every heart with joy.” The Taittiriya Upanishad.

Every human being wants to find true and lasting joy, because this is the very core of being.

Who sees with your eyes, hears with your ears, thinks with your mind, feels with your heart?

The Self is the foundation of all that exists.

It is the source and the substance of all things.

Love and peace, truth and bliss, consciousness and wisdom,  all are contained in it.

Infinite, invisible, omnipotent, imperishable, perfect, without beginning or end, the Self is a mystery beyond concept or thought.

Every living creature lives by the grace of the Self alone.

If you would make your life worthwhile, seek the truth of the Self in the depths of your heart.

More subtle than a gossamer web, the Self cannot be seen or touched or known: you can only BE it.

When you have become still and silent, have truly gone beyond all attachments and desires, surrendered yourself totally with great love and devotion, then, and only then, the glory of the Self is revealed.

Like a river merging with the infinite ocean, you merge forever in that joy.

At last, your life becomes truly blest.

The Pearl Diver

“ I spend all my time trying to persuade you, young and old, to make your first and  chief concern for the highest welfare of your inner selves.” Socrates

“So long as a man is a stranger to his own divine soul, so long he has not even begun to live. All that he does is exist.” Paul Brunton

This life is a precious gift.

Every human being is born with a spiritual treasure: the integral divinity at the core of being.

Discovering this God-spark inside oneself, at the very centre of one’s own being, is the key to the kingdom of heaven.
This is the source: omnipotent, infinite, eternal, blissful peace.

This is the underlying substance of all that exists.

As a babe, this divinity shines clear and luminous- the passage of time veils it with thought and emotion; thus man loses his most valuable resource.

Therefore, re-discovering this pearl beyond all price is the primary purpose of your very existence!

 Returning to your inner divine core is the surest way to find true meaning and joy in your daily life.

It is the ONLY way to experience utter satisfaction and perfect contentment,lasting happiness and peace.

Life is short, death is certain, the blind pursuit of wealth and possessions will rob you of your precious time.

Why chose uncertainty and fear and despair instead of immortal, radiant bliss?

Seek the Real now: dive deep into your own being!

From that perfect Centre, all that you see will be sacred.
