moving in you, a joy.
When actions come from another section, the feeling
disappears.
Don't let others lead you.
They may be blind or, worse, vultures.
Reach for the rope
of God.
of God.
And what is that? Putting aside self-will.
Because of willfulness
people sit in jail, the trapped bird's wings are tied,
fish sizzle in the skillet.
The anger of police is willfulness. You've seen a magistrate
inflict visible punishment. Now
see the invisible. If you could leave your selfishness, you
would see how you've
been torturing your soul.

We are born and live inside black water in a well.
How could we know what an open field of sunlight is?
How could we know what an open field of sunlight is?
Don't insist on going where
you think you want to go.
you think you want to go.
Ask the way to the spring.
Your living pieces will forma harmony.
There is a moving palace that floats in the air
with balconies and clear
water flowing through, infinity everywhere, yet contained
under a single tent.

जब तेरे कदम उधर चलें
जिधर तुम्हारी आत्मा कहे
तो तेरे भीतर एक नदी बहती है - प्रसन्नता की ।
अस्तित्व के किसी और कोने से आई आवाज़
तुम्हें भटकाती है -
तेरी ख़ुशी, तेरा सुकून छीनती है -
तब तेरे भीतर नहीं बहती नदी - प्रसन्नता की ।
किसी और के अनुगामी मत बनना
उनके बाहर भीतर अँधेरा है
रोशन-सी एक राह है
जो ईश्वर तक जाती है
और यह राह क्या है?
अपने अहम् को छोड़ना
अहम् के कारण ही
लोग जेल जाते हैं-
पंछी जाल में फंसते हैं-
मछली कांटे में फंसती है।
अहम् छोड़ने पर ही
तुम जान पाओगे
तुम्हारी आत्मा किन जुल्मों के पीछे दबी थी
एक गहरे कुँए के काले पानी में जन्म लेने वाले
और उसी में पूरी जिंदगी गुजारने वाले हम क्या जानें
कि एक खुले मैदान में फैली धूप कैसी होती है ?
वहाँ जाने की जिद मत करो
जहां तुम जाना चाहते हो
उस राह की खोज करो
जो जलस्रोत तक जाती है।
