Within her dark robes
the nun is silent,
passion kept
between herself
and the largeness.
She moves
no differently
down granite stairs,
continues to sew poorly.
Questioned,
she would deny all.

cure
.
.
It is less the medicine than the doctor that cures.
It is less the doctor than the organic consciousness that heals.
Always the organic consciousness is responsible for illness and for its cure.
The doctor inspires, gives the impulsion that leads to health,
the medicine helps or hinders locally to that end.
Medicine-only is an attempt at healing despite the organic consciousness.
.

Some quotes by Vincent van Gogh:
.The more you love,
the more active you will be ....
Many a man has a big fire in his soul;
and no one comes to warm up to it ....
I want to flush, easily, seriously;
I want more soul and more love and more heart ....
Conversion is necessary
as the renewal of the leaves in the spring ....

ना तुम बेवफा हो - Na Tum Bewafa Ho (Lata Mangeshkar)
Movie/Album : एक कलि मुस्काई (1968)
Music By : मदन मोहन
Lyrics By : राजिंदर कृषण
Performed By : लता मंगेशकर
ना तुम बेवफा हो, ना हम बेवफा हैं
मगर क्या करें, अपनी राहें जुदा है
जहाँ ठण्डी-ठण्डी हवा चल रही है
किसी की मोहब्बत वहां जल रही है
ज़मीं आसमां हमसे दोनों खफा हैं
ना तुम...
अभी कल तलक तो मोहब्बत जवां थी
मिलन ही मिलन था, जुदाई कहाँ थी
मगर आज दोनों ही बे-आसरा हैं
ना तुम...
ज़माना कहे मेरी राहों में आजा
मोहब्बत कहे मेरी बाहों में आजा
वो समझे ना मजबूरियाँ अपनी क्या है
ना तुम...

no way or path
There's a moment there in Arthur's banquet hall when all the knights are assembled around the Round Table. Arthur would not let anyone start to eat until an adventure had occurred. Well, in those days adventures were rather normal, so people didn't go hungry for long.
They were waiting for this day's adventure, and it did indeed occur. The Holy Grail itself showed itself to the assembled knights - not in its full glory but covered with a great, radiant cloth. Then it withdrew. All were left ravished, sitting there in awe.
Finally, Gawain, Arthur's nephew, stood up and said, "I propose a vow to this company, that we should all go in quest of that Grail to behold it unveiled."
Now we come to the part that interested me. The text reads,
"They thought it would be a disgrace to go forth in a group.
Each entered the Forest Adventurous at that point which he himself had chosen,
where it was darkest and there was no way or path."
"They thought it would be a disgrace to go forth in a group.
Each entered the Forest Adventurous at that point which he himself had chosen,
where it was darkest and there was no way or path."
You enter the forest at the darkest point, where there is no path. Where there's a way or path, it is someone else's path; each human being is a unique phenomenon.
The idea is to find your own way.
~ Joseph Campbell

when love itself comes to kiss you
.
.
When love itself comes to kiss you,
don't hold back! When the king
.
goes hunting, the forest smiles.
Now the king has become the place
.
and all the players, prey, bystander,
bow, arrow, hand and release. How
.
does that feel? Last night's dream
enters these open eyes. When we die
.
and turn to dust, each particle will
be the whole. You hear a mote whirl
.
taking form? My music. Love, calm,
patient. The Friend has waded down
.
into existence, gotten stuck, and
will not be seen again outside of
.
this. We sometimes make spiderwebs
of smoke and saliva, fragile thought -
.
packets. Leave thinking to the one
who gave intelligence . In silence
.
there is eloquence. Stop weaving,
and watch how the pattern improves.

window
.
.
St. John of the Cross compares man to a window through which the light of God is shining.
If the windowpane is clean of every stain, it is completely transparent,
we do not see it at all: it is "empty" and nothing is seen but the light.
.
But if a man bears in himself the stains of spiritual egotism and
preoccupation with his illusory and exterior self,
even in "good things,"
the the windowpane itself is clearly seen by reason of the stains that are on it.
.
Hence if a man can be rid of the stains and dust produced within him
by his fixation upon what is good and bad in reference to himself,
he will be transformed in God and will be "one with God."
.
~ Thomas Merton
from Zen and the Birds of Appetite
.
only the lowest servant of the kingdom, is worthy to become its ruler
Water is the softest and most yielding substance.
Yet nothing is better than water,
for overcoming the hard and rigid,
because nothing can compete with it.
Everyone knows that the soft and yielding
overcomes the rigid and hard,
but few can put this knowledge into practice.
Therefore the Master says:
"Only he who is the lowest servant of the kingdom,
is worthy to become its ruler.
He who is willing to tackle the most unpleasant tasks,
is the best ruler in the world."
True sayings seem contradictory.
~ Lao Tzu

God
.
.
In the ancient days, when the first quiver of speech came to my lips, I ascended the holy mountain and spoke unto God, saying, "Master, I am thy slave, Thy hidden will is my law and I shall obey thee for ever more."
.
But God made no answer, and like a mighty tempest passed away.
.
And after a thousand years I ascended the holy mountain and again spoke unto God,
saying, "Creator, I am thy creation. Out of clay hast thou fashioned me and to thee I owe mine all."
.
And God made no answer, but like a thousand swift wings passed away.
.
And after a thousand years I climbed the holy mountain and spoke unto God again, saying, "Father, I am thy son. In pity and love thou hast given me birth, and through love and worship I shall inherit thy kingdom."
.
And God made no answer, and like the mist that veils the distant hills he passed away.
.
And after a thousand years I climbed the sacred mountain and again spoke to God, saying, " my God, my aim and my fulfillment; I am thy yesterday and thou art my tomorrow, I am thy root in the earth and thou art my flower in the sky, and together we grow before the face of the sun."
.
Then God leaned over me, and in my ears whispered words of sweetness, and even as the sea that enfoldeth a brook that runneth down to her, he enfolded me.
.
And when I descended to the valleys and the plains God was there also.
.
~ Kahlil Gibran
from Poems, Parables and Drawings

lingering in happiness
.
.
After rain after many days without rain,
it stays cool, private and cleansed, under the trees,
and the dampness there, married now to gravity,
falls branch to branch, leaf to leaf, down to the ground
.
where it will disappear - but not, of course, vanish
except to our eyes. The roots of the oaks will have their share,
and the white threads of the grasses, and the cushion of moss;
a few drops, round as pearls, will enter the mole's tunnel;
.
and soon so many small stones, buried for a thousand years,
will feel themselves being touched.
.
~ Mary Oliver
from Why I wake early
.
parts of a tune
One old man keeps humming the same few notes
of some song he thought he had forgotten
back in the days when as he knows there was
no word for life in the language
and if they wanted to say eyes or heart
they would hold up a leaf and he remembers
the big tree where it rose from the dry ground
and the way the birds carried water in their voice
they were all the color of their fear of the dark
and as he sits there humming he remembers
some of the words they come back to him now
he smiles hearing them come and go
~ W.S. Merwin
from The Shadow of Sirius
If only for once it were still
If only for once it were still.
If the not quite right and the why this
could be muted, and the neighbor's laughter,
and the static my senses make -
if all of it didn't keep me from coming awake -
Then in one vast thousandfold thought
I could think you up to where thinking ends.
I could possess you,
even for the brevity of a smile,
to offer you
to all that lives,
in gladness.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
from The Book of Monastic Life, I,7
a hundred roots silently drinking
.
.
I have many brothers in the South
who move, handsome in their vestments,
through cloister gardens.
The Madonnas they make are so human,
and I dream often of their Titians,
where God becomes an ardent flame.
.
But when I lean over the chasm of myself -
it seems
my God is dark
and like a web: a hundred roots
silently drinking.
.
This is the ferment I grow out of.
.
More I don't know, because my branches
rest in deep silence, stirred only by the wind.
.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
from The Book of Monastic Life, I,3

the madman
.
.
You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen, - the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives, - I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, "Thieves, thieves, and cursed thieves."
.
Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me.
.
And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house-top cried, "He is a madman." I looked up to behold him; the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time. For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, "Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks."
.
Thus I became a madman.
.
And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.
.
But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in jail is safe from another thief.
.

the great longing
.
Here I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea.
We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange. Nay, it is deeper than my sister's depth and stronger than my brother's strength, and stranger than the strangeness of my madness.
Aeons upon aeons have passed since the first grey dawn made us visible to one another; and though we have seen the birth and the fullness and the death of many world, we are still eager and young.
We are young and eager and yet we are mateless and unvisited, and though we lie in unbroken half embrace, we are uncomforted. And what comfort is there for controlled desire and unspent passion? Whence shall come the flaming god to warm my sister's bed? And what she-torrent shall quench my brother's fire? And who is the woman that shall command my heart?
In the stillness of the night my sister murmurs in her sleep the fire-god's unknown name, and my brother call afar upon the cool and distant goddess. But upon whom I call in my sleep I know not
Here I sit between my brother the mountain and my sister the sea. We three are one in loneliness, and the love that binds us together is deep and strong and strange.

for a time of change
.
The mind of time is hard to read.
We can never predict what it will bring,
Nor even from all that is already gone
Can we say what form it finally takes;
For time gathers its moments secretly.
Often we only know it's time to change
When a force has built inside the heart
That leaves us uneasy as we are.
.
Perhaps the work we do has lost its soul
Or the love where we once belonged
Calls nothing alive in us anymore.
.
We drift through this gray, increasing nowhere
Until we stand before a threshold we know
We have to cross to come alive once more.
.
May we have the courage to take the step
Into the unknown that beckons us;
Trust that a richer life awaits us there,
That we will lose nothing
But what has already died;
Feel the deeper knowing in us sure
Of all that is about to be born beyond
The pale frames where we stayed confined,
Not realizing how such vacant endurance
Was bleaching our soul's desire.
.
~ John O'Donohue
from To Bless the Space Between Us
.
the remains
.
.
I empty myself of the names of others.
I empty my pockets, I empty my shoes and leave them beside
the road. At night I turn back the clocks; I open the family
album and look at myself as a boy.
.
What good does it do? The hours have done their job.
I say my own name. I say goodbye.
The words follow each other downwind.
I love my wife but send her away.
.
My parents rise out of their thrones
into the milky rooms of clouds. How can I sing?
Time tells me what I am. I change and I am the same.
I empty myself of my life and my life remains.
.

Sadi Gali from Tanu Weds Manu Lyrics and video
Kudiyan De Vich Phire Hassdi Khed Di
Ho Gutt Di Parandi Teri Naag Wangu Meldi
Kudiyan De Vich Phire Hassdi Khed Di
College Na Jaave Ni Tu Naag Wangu Meldi
Aashiqan Nu Darshan Dikhaya Karo
Ni Kadi Sadi Gali Bhul Ke Vi
Aaya Karo Ji Kade Saddi Gali Bhul Ke Vi - 3 Times
Goriyan Gallan Ch Tere Toye Badey Pabhde
Mitran Pyaaran Nu Sohne Badey Lagde
Goriyan Gallan Ch Tere Toye Badey Pabhde
Mitran Pyaaran Nu Sohne Badey Lagde
Thoda Saade Utte Taras Bhi Khaya Karo
Ni Kadi Sadi Gali Bhul Ke Vi
Aaya Karo Ji Kade Saddi Gali Bhul Ke Vi - 3 Times
Jidro Vi Lange Munde Maarde Seetiyan
Ho Kar De Ishaare Koi Maarda Geetiyan
Jidro Vi Lange Munde Maarde Seetiyan
Kar De Ishaare Koi Maarda Geetiyan
Sajna Nu Aina Na Sataya Karo
Ni Kadi Sadi Gali Bhul Ke Vi
Aaya Karo Ji Kade Saddi Gali Bhul Ke Vi
Rab Ne Husn Ditta Maan Nai Karida
Aakkadan Di Agg Vich Ainwe Nai Sadee Da
Rab Ne Husn Ditta Maan Nai Kari Da
Aakkadan Di Agg Vich Ainwe Nai Sadee Da
Kade Pyaar Wala Meeh Barsaya Karo
Ni Kadi Sadi Gali Bhul Ke Vi
Aaya Karo Ji Kade Saddi Gali Bhul Ke Vi - 3 Times
Lehmber Na Ban Jana Tera Manmeet Ni
Sacchi Sacchi Ohde Naal Pala Tu Preet Ni
Lehmber Na Ban Jana Tera Manmeet Ni
Sacchi Sacchi Ohde Naal Pala Tu Preet Ni
Saareyan Nu Mangar Na Laaya Karo
Ni Kadi Sadi Gali Bhul Ke Vi
Aaya Karo Ji Kade Saddi Gali Bhul Ke Vi - 6 Times

Na tu nach ke dikhaun main vi boliyan ch paun
Nach ke dikhaun main vi boliyan ch paun
Tera vi lagna zorniye
Aaja nach lai morniye - 3 times
Saare kar de ne gallan tere baare kudiye
Nach ke dikha de ajj taare kudiye
Ho saare kar de ne gallan tere baare kudiye
Nach ke dikha de ajj taare kudiye
Na ajj paa de dhamaal, ajj kar de kamaal
Kaato luk di phir di chorniye
Aaja nach lai morniye - 3 times
Nachna taan sab naalo vakh kudiye
Maroda khaave jedo tera lak kudiye
Ho nachna taan sab naalo vakh sohniye
Maroda khaave jedo tera lak sohniye
Pumbeeri wangu kum lak maar thum thum
Teri wargi ethe hor nayi ae
Aaja nach lai morniye - 3 times
Kudiyan ne ajj jaana haar kude
Je tu ik vaar ghume pa pa paar kude
Kudiyan ne ajj jaana haar kude
Je tu ik vaar ghume pa pa paar kude
Kyun tu minta karondi, Foji nu ta tadpaundi
Saanu hor kise di lodh nayi ae
Aaja nach lai morniye - 6 times

Kitne Dafe Dil Ne Kahaa Yun Hi Tanu Weds Manu Lyrics & Video Mohit Chauhan
Lyrics of Yun Hi (Tanu Weds Manu 2011)
Kitne Dafe Dil Ne Kahaa By Mohit Chauhan Song Lyrics
hmmm ummmmmm hmmmmm
hmmm ummmmmm hmmmmm
La ra la lee
Kitne dafe dil ne kaha
Dil ki suni kitne dafe
Vaise to teri na mein bhi
Mene dhondh le a pni khushi
Tu jo gar haan kahe to baat hogi aur hi
Vase to teri na mein bhi
Mene dhondh le a pni khushi
Tu jo gar haan kahe to baat hogi aur hi
Dil hi rakhe ko kabhi
Upper upper se sahi
Keh dena haan
Keh dena haan yun hi
Lyricsmasti.com
Kitne dafe dil ne kaha
Dil ki suni kitne dafe
Kitne dafe hairan hua
Mein yeh socha ke
Uth ti hai ibadat ki khusbunien
Kyun mere ishq se
Jaise hi mere honth yeh
Choo le te hain tere naam ko
Lage ki sajda kiya
Keh ke tujhe sabad bol dun
Yeh khudai chor ke
Phir aaja tu zameen pe
Aur ja na kahi
Tu saath reh ja mere
Kitne dafe dil ne kaha
Dil ki suni kitne dafe
Lyricsmasti.com
La la la la la la…
Pa pa para pa pa pa
Kitne dafe mujhko laga
Tere saath udte hue
Aasmani dukano se dhundhke
Pighla du mein chaand yeh
Tumhare in kaano mein
Phena bhi du bonndein bana
Phir yeh na soch lun
Samjhe ge ki tu
Jo mein na keh saaka
Per darta hoon Abhi
Na yeh tu pooche Kabhi
Kyun laye ho yeh
Kyun laye ho yeh yun hi
Kitne dafe mujhko laga
Tere saath udte hue
