Inspiration

Let the philosphers debate
whether the mother is divine or not.
Let them break their nuts
trying to find out whether Krishna is real or mythical.
The fact remains that these and other deities have inspired
wonderful art, music, dance sculpture and so forth.
Let love inspire us to noble deeds.
Ganoba

Loving Naturally

Some are so starved of love
that when they are offered love
they get an allergic reaction.
Do not bother and
do not take it as a judgment on you.
keep doing what comes naturally to you.
Ganoba

Civility

Civility is faked humility,
a counterfeit kindness.
It is good that you are not good at it.
One reason for love to blossom.
ganoba

Being alone

I like myself as I am.
Being alone means being just with myself.
It is like being with a loved one.
I also like the surroundings.
They are beautiful and exciting, just as they are.
What more is needed for peace and happiness to prevail?
Ganoba

Loving

How can love cause a wound?
Love is a recognition of our oneness.
In that sense it may be seen as a healing balm.
Passion, lust, possesiveness, ownership
with which love is confused,
causes injuries of various kinds;
physical, emotional, intellectual and also spiritual.
This state of affairs does not exist between us.
Obviously there is no injury.
Only celebration.
Ganoba

Soaked in Aggressiveness

Many of the words we use,
come from our association,
with the competitive, comparative world.
They are all soaked in aggression, often cleverly sugar coated.
If we listen to our thoughts and speech, this will be clear.
We can then begin to remove all aggressiveness from our mind.
