Love unfolds mysteriously (poem)

When we were together,
his heart was open,
but,
mine was blocked by my mind.

After 2 decades, over phone,
my heart was opening,
but,
his heart was blocked by his mind.

When we met after 25 years,
my heart was open, his body was open,
but,
my body and his heart, was blocked by mind.

Now, when we are distant again,
my body is opening, his heart is opening,
and,
our souls are expressing affection, yielding to love.

Now, I am ready to love with all my heart, soul, body and mind (poem)

My heart has been full of love for him,
and my soul is now, one with his.

My body is opening up to express love,
and my mind is now, yielding to it.

Fulfillment Matters (poem)

When I nursed my babies for upto a year, I felt fulfilled and so did they.

When I observe Physics with kids, I feel fulfilled and so do they.

When I sing in the Kirtans, I feel fulfilled and so do others.

When I am loving, I need to feel fulfilled and so does he.

Now, I am clear (poem)

I am now ready to give all that I can,
with my entire body, mind, heart, soul,
and, receive whatever is being offered,
not as Gunjan, but as God's instrument.

Thank You Krishna, for blessing me with courage to speak my TRUTH (poem)

When I told my husband,
about,
how I experience the one in my heart,
I felt emancipated.

When I told my husband,
about,
how I experience interactions with him,
I felt empowered.

God bless everyone, whose mind is blocking their hearts (poem)

Its a blessing, to tune into the "true love in heart",
Its very nurturing, to know the "real need of body",
Its cleansing, to realize the "deepest craving of soul",
Its complete faith, to overcome mind stuff to get "these".

God, I love his unspoken words (poem)

When we were together,
his eyes spoke.

When we were on phone,
his silence spoke.

Aum Tat Sat (God is Truth)

Sometimes, silence speaks clearer than words (poem)

Over the phone,
I could sense his unspoken words, "I need you",

but in person,
I could not understand his spoken words, "I want you".

"I need you" counts even more than...(poem)

Now, I have realized, what my mind, body, heart & soul need (poem)

My mind is content,
on seeing,
the tiwinkling in kids eyes,
when I am observing, Physics with kids.

My heart loves all,
on being,
around him or his thoughts,
when I am simply honest, with my own self.

My body starts dancing,
on talking,
about God or His experiences,
when I am sharing, my joy of divine blessings.

My soul craves deeply,
on thinking,
about a nurturing relationship,
when I am feeling nourished, in complete giving.

Thank you God for the doubt and the faith...(poem)

for the fall and the Rise,

for the tears and the Joy,

for the pain and the Peace,

for the loneliness and the Love,

for the helplessness and the Empowerment,

for the confusion and the Light,

for the desires and the Wisdom,

for the chaos and the Calmness,

for the silence and the Aum,

Gentle whispers says...(poem)

"If you have a need, ask for it,
for the Universe is waiting to fulfill it,
But, not like begging hesitatingly, from a stranger,
instead, seek like an adamant child, demanding from mother."

This is what fulfills me, what about you? (poem)

Hugging and eye contact, feels fulfilling to my body.
Singing and sharing the food, feels fulfilling to my soul.
Observing Physics and my thoughts, feels fulfilling to my mind.
Writing, walking outside and lying on grass, feels fulfilling to my heart.

Is this love? (poem)

We are both lying down sideways facing each other,
we are talking before, as well as after expressing our love,
he is in rolling tears of joy, and I am in tears of contentment,
ironically, he is the one getting his needs met and I feel nurtured.

When I feel helpless...(poem)

around people, or amidst circumstances,
instead of choosing to do drugs or commit suicide,
I seek God, the one within me and He leads me to people,
who heal me with their listening, or simply holding me in a hug.

Thank You God :))

3 steps to get needs fulfilled (poem)

Each one of us has different needs,
acknowledging one's own needs, is a must,
praying for another's needs fulfillment, is wonderful,
but seeking it all from the Universe, is of utmost importance.

When I am at ease, I spread ease (poem)

I was dancing to "Tere Jaise Yaar kahan...",
while my son was eating his dinner slowly.

Then, I took a cup of water up for my daughter,
but, as I placed it on the slab, the water jumped out.

A drop of water fell on her folder of theater lyrics,
and my 12 year old daughter was furious with anger.

I was about to begin justifying, or to point her mistakes,
instead, for a change, I simply said, "I am sorry" & she left.

I witnessed, that just because, today, I didn't resist dancing,
I didn't resist her fit of tantrum, and the event died immediately.

Light Vs Darkness (poem)

Its not about blaming anyone in my life,
its all about how I am choosing to experience,
in divine Light, to experience the bliss of upliftment,
or in gross darkness, to get drowned in frustrations of self-pity.

Life does not come in phases, its happening now (poem)

At high school,
I was told, "Focus on studies,
lock your feelings & emotions.",
and I did so, suppressing my heart.

During Ph.D,
I was told, "Focus on research,
lock your bodies desires & needs.",
and I did so, suppressing my own body.

My mother was sick,
I was told, "Focus on deadline,
lock your fears about her death."
and I did so, suppressing my own soul.

When I had kids,
I was told, "Focus on raising,
lock your aspirations & career."
and I did so, suppressing my own mind.

Now, I seek from God,
He tells me, "Focus everything,
your body, heart, mind & soul on Me,
life doesn't come in phases, it is now."

Be with God (poem)

I don't choose to be around short tempered people, for I am fearful.
But, when I am around a person who is loud and losing temper, what do I do?
Wishing that he changes his ways does not help, but praying peace for him may.
Plus, I need to seek courage, guidance from God, and thank God, for He has a plan.

God, guide me to become fearless!!! (poem)

I have fears of falling from height in a roller coaster,
even though, I am fully aware that I am strapped in seat.

I have fears of people gettng upset & losing their temper,
even though, I am fully aware that I am protected with God.

Everything is perfect as is (poem)

Soft music evokes devotion or romance, depending on my own visualizing.

Human beings seem good or bad, depending on my own perspective.

Chirping birds sounds sweet or noisy, depending on my own tuning.

Blowing breeze feels hot or cold, depending on my own jacket.

Love is so illogical (poem)

Love trusts, it does not test.

Love is shifting my responses (poem)

This is what happened on March 3, 2011.

I saw the person I love's face in pain, my heart melted and
I found myself empathizing with anyone in pain, even if that person is blaming me for no fault of mine; only because that person is experiencing it as a pain.

My justifications used to turn into indifference, but now, I am witnessing them transforming into empathy and apologies.

It feels beautiful. Thank you God.

***

Someone wrote me in an email,
that he was very upset with me,
with how he felt during interaction,
my first thought was, "But I didn't mean to..",
then it was, "Ok, fine he is choosing to be upset..",
later, I went out for my walk, ended with my prayer,
and I saw the face of the one I love, full of anger & pain,
immediately, I felt sorry; & replied that email with my apologies.

Today, I feel, I am full of Light (poem)

Since yesterday night, my heart is singing "Come to me Jesus, fill me with Thy Light." I feel my heart is empty and vacant and ready to recv. divine Light.

I shared with a friend that, when loving a human being is so beautiful, I wonder and wish to experience what is it to love God, who has created Love.
Plus, when we have to eventually, serve God as a soul after death, why not start it now.

Today (March 4, 2011), I feel I am ready to have an affair with God; to expeience the bliss.

He shared the chant, "God and I are one", and that sounded perfect.

Those strangers who met me in the line at Costco, could see that I am happy and mentioned it to me.

I am high on God today. Cheers to all those who rejoice in God.

***

Today, I feel light,
running through sprinklers,
singing and dancing everywhere,
smiling, helping and talking about God.

Let people be, just be with God (poem)

The big black cat was sitting far away,
when I called her closer with hands,
she stepped towards me slowly,
and snuggled against my lap,
her claws pierced my mat,
scratched my blocks,
touched my bag,
too.

I observed that she really needed love,
and without her intentions to damage,
her sharp claws tore my yoga mat,
and they scrtached the blocks,
but polyester bag was fine,
I could see something,
it was her need,
to scratch.

But, not everything got damaged with claws,
the bag was intact without a scratch,
so it is very clear that same claws,
can rip off the delicate yoga mat,
& only scratch thermacoal blocks,
which means that by unkindness,
only those who are sensitive,
get shattered.

So, when I am amidst not-so-gentle people,
I need to stop being my sensitive self,
and stop wishing they would change,
I've got to wear a layer of God,
so that I am protected always,
& keep sending them love,
seeking only from the,
the Source.

Love is the strongest force in the Universe (poem)

Real love lives, it does not die.

Real love unites, it does not separate.
