Echoes From The Heart

bliss

being bliss-filled is a temporary state
a temporary disposition of your mind
because bliss - however lovely and sweet
is never that precious spiritual reality
for which you earnestly strive and seek
spiritual bliss is but a temporary state
an uplifting first exposure to pure love

so however sweet - you must pass by bliss
to enter into that wondrous spirituality
which passes all previous understanding
dear one - be brave - be love’s instrument
so you can emit love’s odorless fragrance
that unseen colourless and unifying love
that pure love - which is of purest divinity

the heart within

the heart within forever craves
desiring always to be caressed
by unseen love’s constant touch
by love’s unseen but felt touch
which soothing touchless touch
you can create within yourself
if you let love enter your heart
and permeate the whole of you

he spoke

slight of physical build
his life so unpretentious
his words had emphasis
his thought was strong

"seek deep within you
and you will ever find
here inside yourself
the spiritual master

and - do remember well
that the master is here
only during those times
when you are not here

you must therefore learn
to put aside your resources
for that egoless wisdom
found within the master"

love's spiritual presence

 knowingly - but quite often unknowingly
love's spiritual presence does accompany
every creature - and all of manifested life
spiritual love does not need verbalization
this love paves the way for human thought
which rises in each heart - as subtlest love
a love which - though perhaps unspoken
or unobserved - is felt by yearning hearts
love's  spiritual presence is pervasively felt

love

et your attention focus upon love
let only love comprise your world
let the sun rise and set - with love
it should be so easy to sustain love
that view of a purest spiritual love
you can find living in your heart
a love - that becomes your centre
a love - that is becoming your all
let your attention focus upon love
and breathe deeply of spiritual love
understand this love as ever present
begin learning to know of this love
live to love this love more and more 

unseen love - love's light

love is invisible - but is ever present
love is ever present - within this world
for love underpins the all of creation

you have only to rise early from bed
and then watch the breaking of dawn
to understand love's unseen presence

for what - but  love - could bring dawn
for what - but love - could bring light
which light is surely of love's warmth

for what – but love – could bring love
giving you vibrations of love’s warmth
making possible a life upon this earth

dear one - rise from bed - before dawn
to meditate - and to then silently glory
in that light - which is pure unseen love

now

 love surrounds you right now
you need not try to create love
for known or unbeknown to you
this love is what has created you
you are ever steeped in this love
your work is to acknowledge love

your work is really only to receive
and allow yourself to accept love
the wondrously felt spiritual love
that is continuously all pervasive
throughout all of time and space
and which love ever comes to you

anxiety

"perfect love casteth out fear”

fear is ever a first cousin of anxiety
taunting you when you are rushed
assailing you if you are uncertain
anxiety will continue to rankle you
only if you allow it to dominate you
anxiety moves into your consciousness
when your focus moves away from love
with love always foremost in thought
anxiety’s ravings have no influence
love casts out fear’s cousin – anxiety

lazy

all of us  were now gathered round him
he looked at us pensively and pleaded
“please - do cease being so terribly lazy
development of a spiritual consciousness
requires a constant devoted attention
to maintaining your spiritual outlook
so you are able to continuously admit
entry of love’s unseen spiritual presence
and are able to continue to experience
love’s flow within your body and mind
it is this flow of love that strengthens
and will enable you to do love’s work
to become love’s obedient instrument
please remember - love is all pervasive
and it is continuous work to maintain
love’s constant flow in your body mind
so love can alter the course of your life"
he peered closely into each of our faces
with saddened expression - he departed

the highest aspiration

to love all - is the highest aspiration
loving others - and loving yourself
are beautiful and laudable actions
but it is only when you become love
that you are a truly spiritual being
a being - who personifies pure love   
think over this - with an open heart
until you can distinguish between
these unique manifestations of love
“to love others” and “to love yourself”
and “to become love's personification”
are three totally different conditions
you can love all - only if you are love   
and have become love’s personification
to love all - is the highest aspiration
