It's Time


“Turn your attention inwards and  discover that the whole world is full of Supreme Spirit.”
“A Self-realised being cannot but help benefiting the world. His very existence is the highest good.”
Talks , Sri Ramana Maharishi.

It’s time.
It’s time to return to the source, to let the mind sink in the Heart and see!
It’s time to taste the ecstatic bliss of your own true nature, to know and be the vast and perfect Love that is the source and the substance of all things.
It’s time to awaken, to dispel the illusion, to be the Light Divine that you were always meant to be.

It’s time, dear one, to shine through the fog of  fear and doubt and sadness, to dance with joy and celebrate the wondrous perfection of it all!
It’s time to expand beyond all limitations and boundaries and merge in the immortal, infinite Self.
It’s time to experience that ultimate, transcendental peace that is the very ground of being.

Just be still, be present, be here:
This is enough.
I wish you a magical  New Year!

Sacred River



Photos : Kanchana Sunderrajan

You stand on the boat of life:
Death burns always in the background -
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
On the ghats of Benares, bodies burn in endless  succession;
Are you the body? Or are you spirit?
When the body is burnt, who will you be?
Find out now-while you still live!
Through the window of  Self -Knowledge,
seek the answer deep within:
Learn how to be
The sacred river flowing so gladly home to the sea.

Your Gift


Sweet Lord!
Your radiance burns away the fog of my mind;
Now, like a fruit on a tree, I ripen slowly in the warmth of your grace.
One sip of your wine has intoxicated me forever          
as your true nature blossoms in the lotus of the Heart.
Dissolved in you, I  become timeless, infinite  space.
Freed of form, I am cleansed of all karma and sin;
The whole universe is now my home and all living creatures, my kin.
You swallowed me in your fiery embrace until I ceased to be;
I merged with you like a river running home to the sea.
This radiant Self ,unchanging and infinite, is perfect peace and bliss.
How can I begin to thank you, O gracious Lord, for such a gift as this?
