The Promise - by Sri Sri

This poem of Guruji's is one of my all time favourites. Enjoy.

Jai Guru Dev.

If I had to promise you something, what would it be?

I can’t promise that you would always be comfortable…

Because comfort brings boredom and discomfort.

I can’t promise that all your desires will be fulfilled…

Because desires whether fulfilled or unfulfilled bring frustration.

I can’t promise that there will always be good times…

Because it is the tough times that make us appreciate joy.

I can’t promise that we will be rich or famous or powerful…

Because they can all be pathways to misery.

I can’t promise that we will always be together…

Because it is separation that makes togetherness so wonderful.

Yet if you are willing to walk with me, if you are willing to value love over everything else

I promise that this will be the most rich and fulfilling life possible.

I promise your life will be an eternal celebration,

I promise you I will cherish you more than a king cherishes his crown,

And I shall love you more than a mother loves her newborn.

If you are willing to walk into my arms,

If you are willing to live in my heart,

You will find the one you have waited forever….

You will meet yourself in my arms…

I promise.

You and me...

I saw Guruji in my dream last night. Sometimes I see Him in my dreams, but I do not remeber it very clearly. Last night it was so clear and I woke up with a smile. It feels wonderful. Thought will share my feeling in few words: probably prose and not a poem:-)

Hope you enjoy.
Jai Guru Dev!

You saw me and called me
You held me and kept me close
for few moments though it felt like
an eternity

whatever small botheration I had
I shared You listened and blessed
and I saw the burden lifting away
like a cloud lifted by the Sun

I woke up from the dream
fresh like a flower
with a smile on my face
and frangrance in my heart

my heart feels light like a feather
feels warm like a baby
dearly held by its mother
intimate with the whole universe

Its absolutely wonderful to be with You
let alone be in my dreams
but trust me when I say
each moment felt real more than reality

With Eyes Closed..

With eyes closed
I see You better
and I find You closer

With eyes closed
I see the whole creation
in its perfection

With eyes closed
I see there is no other
and merge into the One

Jai Guru Dev!

खूबसूरत है जिन्दगी !

मंजिले है बहुत

ख्वायिशें है बहुत

इनमे न खोजाना

खुद्को न खोजना


खुद को मिटाके

खुद को मिलना है

यही एक तमन्ना है

जिन्दगी जीने के लिए
