The Lord Liveth There
Feb 20, 2007
The priest says
Come to the church
the Lord liveth here
The pundit says
Come to the temple
the Lord liveth here
The prophet says
Come to the mosque
The Lord liveth here
The Lord says
Come to your hearts
I liveth there

Oasis of Eternal Bliss
The scorched heat of the unmerciful sun, burning my burnt skin, but had to walk on, for I was in search of that elusive Oasis, in the midst of this eternal desert, ran away from the caged mindset of the house where I was born.
Had heard about this eternal Beatitude, not far away from home
As I walk this lonely arid place, in search of that Unseen
Part of my mind turning my feet towards from whence I came
Parched I was, thirsty I was, not a friendly sight in sight
Walked and walked, and walked a bit more
A mirage I could see, the hallucination of my Dream World
My mind getting weaker with each step, But my heart pulled me towards That
Then I tripped and got up and walked, till I tripped again, and the mind getting weaker and weaker.
Till I could no longer walk, lying in the sand I saw a horrid sight
Shriveled carcass of the departed, was this my fate, was this my fate
Strengthened my mind and gathered my will, again walked but not far
The mirage was still a mirage, Thought to myself will I ever make it.
Fell again on the flaming sand, but didn’t lose hope
Thence came an old man, was thin and lank and fresh as fresh
Pointing to those bones he said ‘Told them they should listen to me, as I know the Way’
Suddenly my spirit rose, told him to guide me to that Oasis
‘Followed your heart unto here, no effort shall go in vain
For those who are deluded and weak, by this fictious flames
Shall fall onto the sand, like a pack of sticks
From thence they shall arise again, to continue their journey
Look at the mirage and hear my words, It is as real as you believe to be’
And then he vanished in the air, from whence he came
I put my heart in his words, and with all I got, gave it a go
Looked at the mirage and said
Don’t deceive me no more for I have been following your path for a long time, through all the torture and still alive, with my devotion and the wisdom of my seer I have arose, to realize my dream which is as real as I have imagined it to be. For I shall not arise from whence I die, I shall drown in your ethereal ocean. Thy has been so evasive for that is how I think, I know now that Thou art omnipresent, I humbly command to reveal thyself, from where I shall sip from thine divine energy to free me from this burning Hades. Reveal thyself, Reveal thyself.
And Lo Behold! I am floating in this opalescent etheric beatitude, the multi colored rainbows, the glowing mountains, the sparkling ocean, Alas I am in my Paradise, My Dream World!
The Omnipresent spirit speaketh
‘Thou didn’t lose hope, thou has given up everything for Me, thou always believed in Me, Thou are very dear to Me, now thy shall never leave, now thy shall never leave!’

All is …, All is …
Jan 13, 2007
Once upon a time there lived an old wise king
In search of the wisest heir,
Called all his men to the palatial halls
Set a test for them all
Said the king
“Who so ever shall see God in this temple
To him shall I pass on my kingdom”
All the kings’ wise men, All the kings’ priests, All the kings’ warriors
Went one by one in search of God
But none saw Him
None but one, a sweeper of the palatial halls
The king asked “What did thou see?”
He replied “I saw God”
Astonished the kings men were,
None of us but this lowly man
Said the king
“Tell me, Oh dear friend what is He like?”
Said the man
“God has made everything, He is in everything, and everything is God
I see the Lord in everything, I see the Lord as I stand in front of you
…. in this palace …. in my countrymen …. in each breath….
…. All is God, All is God ….”
Bowed the Great King in reverence and said
“Thou art truly worthy of my kingdom oh Great One!”

O Jesus, the Lord!
Dec 25, 2006
(Sacred Heart Church, Singapore, X-mas Eve '06)
O Jesus, the Lord!
I do not seek Thy pots
But I seek the Potter
I do not seek Thy building
But I seek the Architect
I do not see Thy painting
But I seek the Painter
I do not seek Thy Gifts
But I seek only Thee, But I seek only Thee
O Jesus, the Lord!

As I go to Him
Dec 19, 2006
A soul who has just left his body is talking to his grieving friends.
Oh why do you cry!
As I go to Him
Emancipated from my worldly dream
Soon again I shall dream
Some day, will be liberated in the infinite
Never again to be confined to the finite
Wish I could tell you all
Life is just a dream for all
If only, you had realized the Truth
Together would have reveled in the Truth
I am Happy now, I am Ecstatic now,
I am the Infinite Bliss now
Oh why do you grieve!
As I go to Him

….walk The Path….
Sep 29, 2006
how many breaths will you take……
how many lives will you live……
how many times will you die……
till you realize the true purpose of life……
till you realize your true Self……
……’cause you are destined to walk The Path one day
……why wait for tomorrow when you can walk today?
