After what seemed eons
he heard her saying this,
gently patting his chest
and wistfully looking
at his withered rose petal lips
"You need to slow down,
be incisive, gaze, just not
with two physical eyes
master your senses, all five
if you want to see clearly
what truly transpires
beyond mere words and actions"
those frenzied moments
of love, despair whatever, intense
he somehow felt part of his, cherished,
But did they deliver?
never did he regret a GURU's absence
still hoped in a deeper layer of psyche
"He would certainly come..won't
decide against showing up"
Still he was waiting
(looking at the directions wrong)
when she was with him,
his lover,finder of path too, for a long while.
None had ever seized him like this
and emphatically said such a thing
Now he could see
more clearly with focus
as if the blazing sun appears
when the clouds are driven by the winds.
He heard the words of wisdom
a woman like her can better discern
because his light and darkness reflect
on her screen of love, better,
essence-mind- bliss
"Sat-chit- Ananda"
where cosmic waves
make their presence
At that instance he decides
to let go pretenses of every kind
he felt expansion of consciousness
a feeling words would never learn to express,
with stars in attendance he slept
cleansed himself in the waters of milky way
frenetic drum beat of heart
vanished as if he is no more
body bound, free to fly anywhere.
wasn't she just predicting that
the slow dance holding the hand
that masterfully guides,
it begins
from this moment.
Journey towards the light of enlightenment is not intended without a Guru, a guide who could take the seeker sure footed through the path.
The deep yearning from the giver and the receiver culminates in the mysterious moment of find from both ends.Finding the Guru designated for one is the greatest moment in the journey of the seeker,chanting
"From ignorance lead me to essence,
from darkness take me to light
from death lead me to immortality"
Some times the Guru one searches endlessly through long road would spring surprises like this...why not learn the path of truth from one's lover, friend, neighbor, subordinate and be humble?
