Healers, healers everywhere (poem)

Some people I meet,
heal me, with their love.

Other people I meet,
make me a healer, with their hatred.

When I love someone, and am proud of it....(poem)

Then, I respect myself, with all my feelings,
Then, I honor the person I love, for all that he is,
Then, I thank God, for what He has specifically chosen for me,
And, when I was not proud of my love, then I was disrespecting all three.

It hurts me...(poem)

When the driver is rebuked,
when the husband hides facts from wife,
when the wife talks disrespectfully to husband,
when people pretend in front and backbite behind.

Bliss Matters (poem)

When the heart is full of love,

when the mind feels proud,
then soul is in bliss.

Happiness is not equal to joy (poem)

When something feels nice,
but does not feel all OK,
then I better not do it,
for that's not joyful.

Love is the strongest force in the Universe (poem)

I woke up after 2 hours of nice nap after lunch. It really helped a lot to soothe my cold. And for the first time, I did not feel guilty about this long nap. It felt very soothing, as if someone who loves me, had put me lovingly into sleep, and was watching over just to make sure, I don't wake up. And the first thought on waking up was, "Love is the strongest force in the whole Universe". Felt Beautiful, inside out.

***

We are all a source of love, and are here only to love.

Love is one direction in which the Universe is incessantly flowing.

I can either, choose to love in each moment and enjoy the bliss, called life.

Or, I can choose to be fearful of all my mind stuff, resist love and be in constant pain.

Yeh lamhe, yeh pal hum, barson yaad karenege....(poem)

This morning, I woke up smilingly with some memories of Jan. 16th. And those which surfaced are:

***
After the great meditation in Gurgaon Ashram, inside Praveen's car we sang, "Tu jaane Na..".

Since we had time, I stepped into IIT Hostel, everything other than the name had changed.

At Barista, suddenly, soft palms from behind closed my eyes, and I guessed it right, Preeti.

Andy was shining in his red shirt and black jacket, "Sweetheart, lets hug, I DID NOT smoke."

The cell phones began ringing, who was coming, on his way, cannot come, will come for a while.

Rajesh Malik walked in, but without his soft beard of 1986, and arrived the sandwiches/coffee.

Malik animated his desperation and frustration when recruiting engineers in campus interviews.

The laughter fire had been ignited, as we continued pulling each other, and fighting to talk first.

Andy said his daughter wishes to marry a mall owner's son, even though her boyfriend is not.

Preeti complained about her frustrations, for not getting the attention, even on her wedding.

Devinder completely manifested his joy of lying to parents, to meet "her" after engagement day.

Praveen was too eager to get married, and made it happen, without plans, right after engagement.

Walia, was shocked, on not finding any ladki-wallas, when he landed at the engagement venue on time.

I narrated, how the same kissing scene in park, grosses out my daughter, but seems fun to my son.

Andy dropped me home, revealing secrets, how he grew up between 18 (when we were together) & 42.

Don't we all have these lighter-moments in our lives? Wonder what stops us from sharing them?

I am not my desires, they are simply covering my true loving Self (poem)

A bowl overflowing with noodles,
looks like only noodles from top.

But when I see it from the front,
I can see a bowl full of noodles.

And when I empty it, of noodles,
then, I see the bowl from top too.

The noodles, are all my mind stuff,
and hidden lies, my true-loving self.

Surprisingly, when I see myself giving him pure love, I see him receiving it innocently (poem)

While talking to him on phone, at 40, I realized that I loved him at 16.
Without my awareness, I witnessed, my own desires surfacing for him.

And, being my judging self, I blamed it completely only on his desires.
But, when I surrendered my own desires, I saw him as a 2 year old.:))

Where there is love, there is always a way out (poem)

My brother loves me, and also smoking;
I love my brother, but am allergic to smoke.

With an intention to express love, honoring space;
I hug him when he wakes up, and right after his shower.

Just like food, I am choosing...(poem)

to be silent, more often.
to be with God, constantly.
to be lovingly kind, to myself.
to be focused on observing Physics.

Aum Tat Sat (God is Truth)

I experience bliss... (poem)

when I am not comparing myself with another being,
when I am not wishing people around me to turn better,
when I am not complaining about what does not feel good,
when I am simply smiling deep from the liver, loving all that is.

Wherever I see, I see love (poem)

At the airport, she came to drop him,
but could not stop hugging to let him go.

At the check-in line, he came to drop her,
and lifted her heavy suitcases to the belt.

Inside the aircraft, in those cramped seats,
she was lying half on top of him, and he on her.

Leaving the bassinet, the baby was snuggling,
into the sleeping mothers arms on top of her breasts.

What position of "I", would I choose? (poem)

When "I" stands up,
it cracks relationships.

When "I" lies down,
it bridges relationships.

I did not know this that...(poem)

Heart need not be shut, to lead a secure life.

Mind need not be stressed, to lead a successful life.

At every stage, my life offered, me both love and wisdom.

But, in my delusions, I chose to isolate and to be knowledgeable?

***
Aum Tat Sat (God is Truth)

In each moment there is a choice...(poem)

to love or not,
to give or to shut,
to receive or to reject,
to reconnect or to separate.

to remember old times or to create new ones,
to keep complaining or to love the one I am with,
to cling onto the uneasiness or to share out laughter,
to boast about how smart I've become or to touch someone's heart.


Gunjan, what are you choosing?

Lucky vs. Luckier (poem)

Lucky are those, who have ever loved someone.
Luckier are those, whose love was ever accepted.

Lucky are those, who could express their love.
Luckier are those, whose love was reciprocated.

Lucky are those, who meet (in bodies) as lovers.
Luckier are those, who continue to love incessantly.

Lucky are those, who treasure their loving moments.
Luckier are those, who leave bodies, loving each other.

I am not my shadows, and so are not others

In divine Light, I saw that, the person who was upsetting me in my darkness,
wasn't really that person, it was his shadow, which was triggering my shadow; beacuse somewhere, I had a matching shadow and they were resonating.

So, all this time, it was my shadow jiving with that persons shadow; and the one my shadow dances most to is to the tune of ego, expectation, judgement, desires, imposing, resistance and emotional attachments, sensitivity rolling out as tears.

Wow, I did not know all this; and I had been blaming these beautiful people in my life as the source of all the mess, when it wasn't their mess, it was all the time mine, which was keeping me from reconnecting to my beautiful-unconditionally-loving Self.

This morning, I saw that I am a pure soul and so are my husband, my kids and all people in my thoughts; all that friction that surfaces during each of my interaction is nothing but my own reflection, getting hyper and telling me, "Gunjan, here I am controlling you, I have been with you for many lives, I rule your life. Know that."

And then, another voice asks me, "Do you want to keep them forever, cling on to them, or would like to shed these dissipating energy sources and feel lighter so that you can really love...."

Thank God, for showing me this perspective.

I surrender all of my shadows God, make me Light.

Love is always perfect (poem)

Love is always perfect, even if the giver and receiver are not.

Giver is always perfect, when heart is full of love, with expecting shut.

Receiver is always perfect, when a heart is completely open, with judging shut.

The moment is always perfect, when the giver and receiver, are craving for same love.

God, clear up all my delusions (poem)

When I am hazy,
I turn on my laptop,
click on the hibernate,
and expect it to boot up.

When I am sleepy,
I set up the alarm time,
but forget to switch it on,
and expect it to ring up loud.

When our heart searches for love, God guides us towards it.- A memorable moment

I was at HUB conference in SFO in June, 2009.

Michael Beckwith in his charismatic ways was channeling, how it would feel like when we would meet God. He asked us (300 men and women from age 30 to 90) to close our eyes and think of a very dear person, who we haven't met for decades, and how it would feel when we are finally, face to face with that dear person. He kept on speaking, till I could not hear his voice.

After sinking us all deep within, and opening up our hearts, he gently asked us to get up from our seats, slowly move around and begin hugging, as many people as possible in that huge room; whoever we come across.

I could not even see who I was hugging, for my eyes were full of huge tears of joy. The room was immersed in love. I was hugging and getting my shoulders wet with their pearls. Then, I distinctly remember bending down to hug an elderly-all-wrinkled lady seated in a wheel chair (perhaps the first face I really saw); and in her arms, I broke down.

Just then, appeared an angel, with his 10 year old son, and both of them hugged me real tight caressing my back. It was a memorable moment; for I was soaking in love; amidst arms holding me up, clinging to their wet clothes totally soaked with thousands of tears.

I met this angel friend, for lunch two days ago, and we remembered how we had met and how our friendship has grown over the last 1.5 years. Its amazing, how, when I was thinking of meeting an old dear person, I was guided to meet a new dear person.

When our heart searches for love, God guides us towards it. Even though, I had never met this person ever before in this life, he seems to be a very dear person from some past life, which I don't know and don't even wish to know. For, only the love that we share with each other that really matters:))

I experienced it- joy in meeting God, Thanks Michael Beckwith.

Thank You God for making it happen.

To love is choice I am making, over...(poem)

being fearful,
feeling helpless,
controlling others,
& desiring from people.

by
surrendering,
each & every wish,
at the feet of my Divine mother.

and
seeking,
all that I need,
only from my dearest God residing within.

to
observe,
that the entire world,
occurs to be just perfect, the way it ought to be.

Its different in the world of love (poem)

To communicate love, words are not needed.

To receive love, an open heart is needed.

To experience love, mind is not needed.

To give love, a loving spirit is needed.

God, give me a chance to express love in person

I did not know this that, I am the incessant source of love. The love, that I had been seeking outside me in others, its source was within. The people who triggered that connection to the source of love within me, were/are a blessing. Now, it does not matter, whether they are with me or not in person, I can experience, the warmth of love within me, constantly.
Swimming in this pool of love, pure-true love nurtures my spirit, both in the outside and the inside worlds.

Thank you God, Thank you all those who have ever loved me, Thank you all of those who I have ever loved. Thanks for giving me what you have been giving and are still giving. I understand, I need not say thanks but, I must express my gratitude. So, let me dear ones, don't stop me this time.

I pray to my God, that I be given a chance to express my love to the ones I love, in this very life time, without expecting; as Thy instrument.

Love is Beautiful, because God is so beautiful (poem)

Each moment, I have loved someone,
or in each moment I love another,
without desires or expectations,
I am manifesting my divine Self.

In those moments, I have felt/feel,
that the world is so beautiful,
and, from that glimpse, I see,
how beautiful God within is.

Mind Separates, Spirit Unites (poem)

That is my family, this isn't.
That is my country, this isn't.

That person loves me, this doesn't.
That person upsets me, this doesn't.

That is where I belong, not over here.
That is what my mind says, not the spirit.

But I am not my mind, then why do I listen to it?
And I am only a pure spirit, why don't I tune into it?

Only first hand experience matters (poem)

Walking next to the frost covered grass,
I paused, took off my leather mittens,
bent down on my kness to touch and,
instantly I jumped off with "aaah".

For all these days, when I was seeing,
but I had never literally touched it,
I had no clue frost would be like,
piercing-chilled-sharp knives.

Till the time, I had touched the grass,
which was covered by a pretty layer,
for several hours every morning,
I never ever said, "poor grass".

So, until I have soothed my own reactions,
to what triggers me to desire or upset,
how can I ever expect anyone else,
to be calm amidst his triggers?
