Your Love 

Let Your love play upon my voice and rest on my silence.

Let it pass through my heart into all my movements.

Let Your love, like stars, shine in the darkness of my sleep and dawn in my awakening.

Let it burn in the flame of my desires and flow in all currents of my own love.

Let me carry Your love in my life as a harp does its music;

and give it back to You at last with my life.

The Grasp Of Your Hand

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers,
but to be fearless in facing them.


Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but
for the heart to conquer it.


Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved,
but hope for the patience to win my freedom.


Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling
Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find
the grasp of Your hand in my failure.

Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6.23

He who has highest Bhakti (love)

of Deva (God),

just like his Deva,

so for his Guru,

To him who is high-minded,

these teachings will be illuminating.

~ Shvetashvatara Upanishad 6.23 Translated by Paul Deussen

When I lived in a house 

"When I lived in a house

I heard a monk's words

and saw in those words

nirvana

the unchanging state.



I am the one

who left son and daughter,

money and grain,

cut off my hair

and set out into homelessness.



Under training 

on the straight way,

desire and hatred fell away,

along with the obsessions

of the mind

that combine with them.



After my ordination,

I remembered 

I had been born before.

The eye of heaven became clear.



The elements fo body and mind

I saw as other,

born from a cause,

subject to decay.

I have given up the obsessions

of the mind.

I am quenched and cool."

Sakula (6th-5th Centuries BCE?)

My Voyage

I thought that my voyage had come to its end 
at the last limit of my power, that the path before me was closed, 
that provisions were exhausted 
and the time had come to take shelter in a silent obscurity. 

But I find that Your will knows no end in me,
and when old words die out on the tongue, 
new melodies break forth from the heart; 
and where the old tracks are lost, 
new country is revealed with its wonders.
