Diversity, Truth, Love

925E3BEC-3D14-4F48-89A4-A0D70EB007D5

When we embrace
in our relationships
and in our selves
the diversity in thoughts and opinions
the relationship will flourish

When we embrace truth
that lives inside of us

When we embrace kindness as love
of which we are made

Then all relationships are
the mere image
of the relationship we have
with ourselves …

Alone

825F91EF-D116-48D1-B842-5A6C940AE4FA
We must become so alone, so utterly alone, that we withdraw into our innermost self.

It is a way of bitter suffering.

But when our solitude is overcome, we are no longer alone, for we find that our innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible.
And suddenly we find ourselves in the midst of the world, yet undisturbed by its multiplicity,
for in our innermost soul we know ourselves to be one with all being.

Impersonal

The sun, the moon, the stars, the universe,
the wind, the rain, the sky, the clouds,
the tree, the flower,
the animals,
mirror back
the impersonal
in Me

Some animals,
Most humans,
mirror back
the personal
in me
and Me

And I
feel totally at home
in the Impersonal company
of the sun, the moon, the stars, the universe,
the wind, the rain, the sky, the clouds,
the tree, the flower,
the animals …

Train

Hand

Sometimes someone comes to my door.
And that someone has heard in some distant way, that there is a train leaving for freedom.
And you tell her about it, again and again and again.
And when she leaves, she says: “Yes, I feel something has changed”.
And Gratitude comes whispering in my ear: “She is on the train…”.
And then tears come, and so much more …

I am not good enough

I am not good enough

When I believe the thought
“I am not good enough”
When this belief
becomes my norm
When this norm
leads my behavior:
I murder you
so I feel good
I do bigger, more, bigger, more, bigger, more, more than you
So I feel good
and I do not care
if you feel good

The human species will vanish from this planet in the end
Even the sun will die

Till then,
“I am not good enough” rules
and murders, rapes, violates, tortures,
almost
every living being
and its own species

We can never know what will happen
We can take steps ourselves
Now …
And let Compassion, Care, Tenderness, Love, and Truth
rule our inner world
until our end of time …
