Hafiz - Who We Are

We are the guardians of His Beauty We are the protector Of the Sun. There is only one reason We have followed God into this world: To encourage laughter, freedom, dance And love. Let a nobel cry inside of you speak to me Saying, "Hafiz, Don't just sit there on the moon tonight Doing nothing - Help unfurl my heart into the Friend's Mind, Help, Old Man, to heal my wounded wings!" We are the companions of His Beauty. We are the guardians Of Truth. Every man, plant and creature in Existence, Every... Sign in to see full entry.

Tukaram

W hat could have caused your grip to weaken that allowed creation to be? How could a lover fall to his death from the arms of infinite strength? How active you are in the mind sustaining such a great wall that the sun can cast a frightening shadow the world believes. No one has ever really known sadness. No real God would ever allow pain. How then can a heart feel it is broken and in need If we are held in the arms of infinite compassion and strength? The mirror you (God) stand before - we need... Sign in to see full entry.

You don't have to act crazy Hafiz

You don't have to act crazy We all know you were good at that. Now retire, my dear, From all that hard work you do Of bringing pain to your sweet eyes and heart. Look in a clear mountain mirror -- See the Beautiful Ancient Warrior And the divine elements You always carry inside That infused this Universe with sacred Life So long ago And join you Eternally With all Existence -- with God!

Poetry - Hafiz

Poetry reveals that there is no empty space. When your truth forsakes its shyness, When your fears surrender to your strengths, You will begin to experience That all existence Is a teeming sea of infinite life. In a handful of ocean water You could not count all the finely tuned Musicians Who are acting stoned For very intelligent and sane reasons And of course are becoming extremely sweet And wild. In a handful of the sky and earth, In a handful of God, We cannot count All the ecstatic lovers... Sign in to see full entry.

The Pulse of God - Mira

The Pulse of God The limbs of a tree reached down and lifted me, Thinking I was its child And in the meadows my spirit becomes so quiet that if I put my cheek against the earth's body I feel the pulse of God. "Tell me the way you do that, birds-- enter the private chambers of my Lord." And they all sang, they just sang. I gathered it was time to become a musician, and I did. Years passed, and the sky reached down one day and lifted me; the birds noticed and spoke, "How do you enter the Sun like... Sign in to see full entry.

Teresa of Avila - The Servant of Unity

THE SERVANT OF UNITY Most men in power have not the strength or wisdom To be satisfied with the way things are. The sane know contentment, For beauty is their lover, And beauty is never absent from the world. The farther away light is from ones touch, The more one naturally speaks of the need For change. Yes, overthrow any government inside that Makes you weep. The child blames the external, and focuses his energy There; the warrior conquers the realms within and, Becomes gifted. Only the...

GOD'S NATURE - Hafiz

GOD'S NATURE Sometimes we think what we are saying about God is true when in fact it is not. It would seem of value to differentiate between what is God's nature and what is false about Love. I have come to learn that the truth never harms or frightens. I have come to learn that God's compassion and light can never be limited; thus any God who could condemn is not a god at all but some disturbing image in the mind of a child we best ignore, until we can cure the dark. St. Thomas of Aquinas Love... Sign in to see full entry.

Kabir - How Humble Is God?

How humble is God? God is the tree in the forest that allows itself to die and will not defend itself in front of those with the ax, not wanting to cause them shame. And God is the Earth that will allow Herself to be deforemed by man’s tools, but SHe cries, yes, God cries, but only in front of Her closest ones. And a beautiful animal is being beaten to death, but nothing can make God break His silence to the masses and say, “Stop, please stop, why are you doing this to Me?” How humble is god?...
