Sri Sri, in his book, "God Loves Fun", says, "When a bud breaks, it becomes a flower. When a heart breaks it becomes divine." I think in the last one and a half years, my heart not only broken, but got shattered to several thousands bits. As I went through the bitter sweet struggles to gather the pieces, I felt that my heart opened up like - the pain, the longing, the bliss, the beauty, the fear, the anger, the acceptance, the quest to find meaning, for something higher - all intensified like never before. I was missing from my blog as there were, for once in my life, no words left inside me. As I slowly emerge from the darkness within me, and move towards that gentle glimpse of light, the words return. Not in the form of long stories, but in the form of short ones. And in the form of some form of poetry. After much hesitation, I decided to share these here on my blog as well. Togehter with the segment titled "Bytes of Insight" (which I started last week), through this new segment titled "Love Bytes" I hope to write more frequently again. Please do bless this space with your comments, likes and shares. Love and Peace.
The Light of Longing
"Keep your eyes fixed only on me, oh foolish one!" said He, "for I am the beauty in the beautiful, the charm in the charming, the intelligence in the brilliant ones, the perfection in everything. Don't move your eyes (sight) an inch away from me!" Said I in response: "Where are you my beloved? I long to be one with you… to be freed from this non-real duality. My eyes search only for you – as I walk into my office, as I walk through the aisles of the grocery store, as I enter the stillness of my home, as I smile back at the stranger on the tram, in meditation and in music, in love and in laughter, in arguments and in fights – you are what I long for, only you...
