perfect whole

no man can be like himself 

until he is in truth and joy

he only is pure if he lays the coverings 

on the shore 

and goes in the water naked 

to be lifted out of his past that haunts 

if he can go into the water that is 

like the ganges inside himself

then he will put himself in the 

ocean that is as a perfect whole 

that begins to take the dross away

and shines the light on the false 

to be seen as it is 

(a shadow that has no substantial presence 

or power in itself) 

a man that lets his thoughts die to the well 

of wisdom like this

will be himself in perfect being 

and will aide humanity to be liberated

by simply being quiet and settled 

in reality 

then what happens is love becomes the center 

and this is the highest blessing

for those that are in need and want of 

finding God 

what is more important than God?

it is like the sun that is life itself 

it cannot be taken away

and burnt or destroyed 

it gives of itself in pure love 

what can be more essential

than this?

try to be still dear souls 

because when there is quiet 

then all that was there before that seemed

so distressing or so alluring or so 

important 

will perish and then the mind is calm

and tranquil

like shiva and Guru

and the mystic that has come to the end 

of the path 

that opens up to pure life 

which is not of the personal way

or of the suffering mental waves 

any longer 

no more of this then arises in a mind that 

knows God fully and completely

no more of this arises to a one that is shorn 

of all that sings of *other*

oh my precious ones, 

have you been even a moment in quiet wonder
like this?

then you will say,

my friend, i know what you are speaking of 

i know because i have tasted a moment of this quiet 

and this was so complete that i wanted for nothing 

and i cried not and desired not 

and there was nothing but a fullness that was of all and nothing 

at the same time 

and due to this experience i am going forward to be a light 

and i know not what awaits around the corner 

but i am venturing into the fires like a sadhu and a mystic

and will be as the love that i am inside where 

there is nothing but pure light
