This sends me...

[Miss Hepburn]

I really think this belongs in spiritual development:


Didn't I Tell You
Didn't I tell you
not to go to that place?
It is me, who is your intimate friend.
In this imaginary plain of non-existence,
I am your spring of eternal life.

Even if you lose yourself in wrath
for a hundred thousand years,
at the end you will discover,
it is me, who is the culmination of your dreams.

Didn't I tell you
not to be satisfied with the veil of this world?
I am the master illusionist,
it is me, who is the welcoming banner at the gate of your contentment.

Didn't I tell you?
I am an ocean, you are a fish;
do not go to the dry land,
it is me, who is your comforting body of water.

Didn't I tell you
not to fall in this trap like a blind bird?
I am your wings, I am the strength in your wings,
I am the wind keeping you in flight.

Didn't I tell you
that they will kidnap you from the path?
They will steal your warmth,
and take your devotion away.
I am your fire, I am your heartbeat,
I am the life in your breath.

Didn't I tell you?
They will accuse you of all the wrongdoings,
they will call you ugly names,
they will make you forget
it is me, who is the source of your happiness.

Didn't I tell you?
Wonder not, how your life will turn out,
how you will ever get your world in order,
it is me, who is your omnipresent creator.

If your are a guiding torch of the heart,
know the path to that house.
If you are a person of God, know this,
It is me, who is the chief of the village of your life.

nice one~!!!!

[Miss Hepburn]

This one's for you Shabdie:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What burns?
What tortures you?
What ruins you?
What makes you useless to anything in this world?
What makes you seem like a lunatic?
What makes you not care about anything?
What makes only one thing important?
A taste...
Even a taste of Your Divine Love.
This is what transforms my soul.

I am thoughtless after reading these words. I don`t know what to say or write. Perhaps I will write in my next post.

Sorry my computer was down:

Mmmm, yes, the Divine Romance

That's all it is.
