Whatever You See

 

Whatever you see,

hear, taste, touch

is a guided meditation

led by the formless Guru

who pervades everything.

He is not your Master

but your oldest Friend.

You gaze upon his face

by reposing in your heart.

Ask for guidance.

He says, "You are a gypsy

from the stars,

I came to call you home."

Inquire, "How long

is the journey?"

He answers, "A pilgrimage

of one breath."

You breathe in and travel

I3.4 billion light-years

to the rim of the cup

of eternity.

Then you breathe out

and return to the garden

in your chest,

the wedding bower

where Magdalene caressed

the cheek of Jesus,

where Radha kissed

Govinda's lips.

I whisper this secret

knowing full well that

you cannot keep it.

Even when they take a vow

of silence, lovers reveal

the ineffable light

of the Friend

through their eyes.
