sacred waters

well friend,
i see that you are here
and that you are a man of seeking
what does this have to do with the world
and it's sorrows?
nothing
you are a man of seeking and
this is not to be taken casually
this is to be honored in grace and love
and joy
this is to be as a stainless, sacred opportunity
this is to be a treasure of the heart
to be in the way of seeking light
like the sadhu that comes in fresh and naked
birthed in the ganges or sacred waters
with the flowers of devotion offered
by the heart
these waters are made in grace
and do not shed tears of sorrow
but are present in equal portions unto all
and these waters are in the heart truly
inside where the ground of being rests
as rich stilled earth
so rich, so perfect
this is where you are to bathe
not in the waters of impurity that soil the spirit
this is what thought and mind will take you into
no friend
come into the fresh way
and be in non-dual clarity
for you are a man of seeking purity
you are a man of seeking light
the sacred places like Mount Meru
and Arunachala and
the caves where the sincere sadhu dwells
are inside
not out there somewhere to be discovered
for this is what mind will tell you
go here and there to be real
this is a masquerading of truth
what is here is always here
in truth


the murti is drowned in the sacred waters
and why is this?
to be freed of all images and outside attachments
the water takes it up
and sinks this attachment into the vastness of light
that is of all and none
so very much of a singular truth then is the whole
that takes away
that takes away
that takes away the unreal separation
in this is where the seeker lays the head
in the grace of one
in the grace of the uncreated that is always present
he sinks the attachment there
he lays his burden there
he finds himself within the light
like a man of beautitude then is he
like a man of silent purity
like a lotus that has risen from the mud of the world
so beautiful and fresh
untouched
this love, is the one
