Gaze

"May the forever youthful Krishna, the supreme lover of our lives,
constantly shine in our hearts through His sparkling eyes
which are laden with love, the refuge of ineffable irresistible beauty,
newly fresh each single day and captivating every instant."
~Sri Krishna Kasrnamrita, Sloka 13 

The deepest meditation

is to Be,

and simply gaze

into this Being.

 

If such simplicity is not possible,

then just breathe

and gaze into your breath,

until the stream of exhalation

carries you to the ocean

of this Being.

 

And if the miracle of this breath

is not enough,

then listen

to the Name of God

singing silently through

your inhalation,

susúrrus of a gentle wave

among a trillion sandy stars

on the shores of wonder.

 

Ebb into stillness,

so astonished you

do not exist.

Let God

gaze into God.

Be nothing

but this gaze.
