heart jewel..

as the sea is filled with wondrous life 

so this heart is filled with unending grace 

as the sun shines on the world 

and sheds beauty and warmth without discrimination

so this atman shines so very glorious in the heart 

as a singular light that is impersonal

as the tree spreads it's branches far and wide 

to give shade to the passerby

so the atman is forever living and gives peace 

to the soul that is to come into it with love..

as the cave sits in the heart of the rock

in protection from the world and it's coming 

and going 

so the heart is protected from the winds of maya

and remains untouched and pure always

as the flower grows with nourishment and light 

so the soul opens to the truth with tending and care 

as the pearl sits in the heart of the oyster 

so the diver that is too seek himself pries open the mind 

to find the crest jewel of wisdom 

that is non-dual in nature 

as the lion prowls in the forest looking for food 

so the seeker sets his mind solely on the goal

to find the sustenance that is lasting 

as the well of clear water rests deep down 

and quenches the thirst

so the the truth that rests deep under the coverings

brings immediate refreshment to the soul

as the wind drives the clouds from the sky

so does the mind purify itself 

with inquiry, Guru's grace and teachings
