Freedom Express


Ride the fast train to freedom.
Being born is your ticket..awareness is the only price.
Trust the life-train,,,its purpose, its speed, its control,its enigmatic wisdom.
Lay your burdens down...drop the heavy sack of ego.
No point carrying it on your head when the train can bear you and all your burdens effortlessly.
Sit back in your seat and enjoy the ride....its over in a flash!
Listen to the heartbeat rythm of the One true sound....ever in the background as you travel.
Freedom is letting go all cares and trusting the driver unconditionally.
Total surrender...and the dawning of the wonder of it all.
Bliss is knowing deep down that you are the train and the driver and the rails.
Wooooooeeeee! Whattaa ride!

The Temple



The Someshwara Temple in Ulsoor, Bangalore is 1500 years old, they say.
A software professional and his wife perform a puja, while their son plays videogames on his dad's cellphone.Traditions run deep in India...and it abounds with places of worship.Temples, mosques, churches, shrines are everywhere.

My temple is my body, the cupola my head, my legs the pillars, the inner shrine - the Heart in my chest.
Once I find this Heart, this entire Universe is my temple: the vast dome of the sky, the firm earth below my feet, the worshipping trees dancing in the wind, the sacred rain and sunshine....who needs any temples of stone?
In the freedom of formless Being, infinity and eternity are contained.
Once I know this, I see that all  forms are made of this Being.
Magic is everywhere.
