glorious like the sun



my friend
you are what the stars and 
heavens are made of
can you not live like this 
as a being that is real
that does not cast a net to bring anything
in to claim it as your own
see in the world there are false ways
and unseeing eyes
that sit away from the SELF
unbelievable that a one that is to be 
made well enough to travel the path
seeks out something other 
but indeed this is the way of most
this cannot make you turn away though 
if you are true
and though many may slander your journey
or call it a false road
do not heed this for a minute
because no thought or word can touch this 
heart inside
that is made of pure waters and this is to be 
where you keep the focus
not on the external actions of humanity...
to live the highest truth is the only way to go
if you are to be in the nature of reality
to move into the lost ways of others has no
beauty that shines glorious like the sun
and the sun is what you are to be
friend
never to be lost again
if you keep treading this path of o ne
this is the way of a sincere soul
that is to come to live
here 
and be a lord of yourself
where the ways of the mind
rule you no more

  1. Namaste Guru Siddhananda,

    Liza shared this poem in our group. I contemplated on it for sometime and reread it multiple times. Was trying to understand what it meant to be like the Sun as you described it. Eventually it dawned on how it is about living from the heart, and walking the path of highest truth and not that of the mind and the world. Thank you for this wonderful poem.

  2. namaste, the sun like the heart of all that is not lost in the transient waves that come and go - still and beautiful, free... this is where one is travelling towards until the mind dissolves to be no more..
    the focus, yes is on the heart.. staying open to life and not guarded within a closed way of mind -- open and in flow within each moment, breath by breath... glad you are continuing onward -- may stillness reign.. shanti om

    Thank you for clarifying with your comment. Definitely helps in seeing where the poem was pointing to. Now everytime I see the sun this summer, I will be reminded of your poem and to be like the Sun :) Thank you
