These are a few of my of favorite things...(poem)

The soft touch of infant's chubby cheeks,
The aroma of the swelling chapati on direct fire,
The sound of chirping hidden birds and giggling kids,
The taste of home made thick yogurt with crystal sugar,
The sight of clouds formation on adding milk to black tea.

All thats "noisy", need not be fixed (poem)

As I sat down to meditate,
I heard the sound of water drops,
I thought it was some tap which was dripping,
But it was the internal flow in refrigerator's freezer.

I am one with all (poem)

I was seeking oneness from outside,
I was seeking intimacy with another,
I did not know that this is who I AM,
I am one with all, & intimate with all.

Love now (poem)

Live in now, not later.

Create love, don't wait.

Give love, receive love.

Just love, no matter what.

Granpa used to say, "First, love yourself " (poem)

My Granpa used to say,
"Gunjan, first love yourself totally.",

I did not understand it,
for a long time, for my priority was loving others,

But, now I understand it,
when I am able to love my thoughts, words, actions, body completely,

Then, I accept myself fully,
and naturally I am able to accept another, and love him for whatever he is being.

Seek from the Infinite, not from the finite (poem)

When I seek from the Infinite, it always gets arranged,
for He is The Universal Provider, like papa was, when I was 5.

When I seek from the Finite, they induce their respective fears,
for they are full of their own fears, like my big brother was, when I was 5.

When I am separating from a dear person... (poem)

I am unable to sing even along with my favorite song,
I am quiet, yet am dying to talk to a listening friend,
I am continuously crying, during successive meditations,
I am breaking somewhere inside me, and am silenced by pain.
