The door to nowhere

 

photo by axinia

There are the doors

leading to nowhere

teasing us with the new ways…

 Shall I dare to go?

Shall I go with the flow?

Or

Shall I stay and enjoy

that mysterious look

on an open door?..

The river and its waves are one

  

photo by axinia

The river and its waves are one surf:

where is the difference

between the river and its waves?

When the wave rises, it is the water;

and when it falls,

it is

  the same water again. 

Tell me, Sir, where is the distinction?

Because it has been named as wave,

shall it no longer be

considered as water?

Within the Supreme Brahma,

the worlds are being told like beads:

Look upon that rosary with the eyes of wisdom.

 

poem by Kabir (1440-1518), Indian poet

For my faith is now in Love alone, in Love alone

  photo by axinia

Church or temple or ka’ba stone
Koran or Bible or martyr’s bone
All these and more my heart can hold
For my faith is now in Love alone, in Love alone

A god, a prophet, a deity
The essence of philosophy
All these and more my heart can hold
For my faith is now in Love alone, in Love alone.

HAVE LOVE FOR ALL MANKIND

GOD, BE IN MY HEART AND IN MY MIND

The winter sky

 

photo by axinia

I love to watch the sky… When I was a child I thought of taking a sunset picture a day of the same place. How interesting it would be to have a colletion of 365 pictures reflecting all kinds of different sunsets… Fascinating!

But the time passed and I never managed to make this collection, also because it is impossible for me to stay the whole year at one place. Instead, I use every possibility to shoot the sky if I have my camera with me. To share this beauty with you :)

LOVE, axinia

Dadu expressing the state one can achieve in Sahaja meditation

photo by axinia

Where there is no two, there is Sahaja, there joy and sorrow become one.
Sahaj neither lives nor dies; it is the state of complete nirvana …
Amidst all duality hold your consciousness in the vacuity of Sahaja,
and drink nectar when you have attained the final state of arrest
and then there is no fear of death or of the flux of time.

poem by Dadu Dayal (1544-1603), Rajasthan

Where is the problem?

Where is the problem?
I can not see any.
Life is a wonderful game
with its clever rules.
Every time it makes us die
we get alive.
Every time we get into a drama
There is only a drama
to be played.
Let me be a producer, an actor
and a viewer of
that play!
Let me enjoy every crasy situation
let me be able to ask:
Where is the problem?
