Krishna
Give me ecstasy, give me naked wonder, O my Creator!
Give birth to the Beloved in me, and let this lover die.
Let a thousand wrangling desires become one Love.
~ Rumi
Radha Krishna
Only that Illumined One
who keeps seducing the formless into form
had the charm to win my Heart.
Only a Perfect One
who is always laughing at the word Two
can make you know of Love.
~ Hafiz
Free as life itself...
If you truly fall in love – not with any particular object or appearance, but with ‘living’ itself, as a whole – then it is not a falling, but a determined free fall that takes flight well before you crash into the ground of suffering. Love an appearance, and it cuts your wings; Love the eternal aspect in all appearances, and you are free as life itself.

Fairylights
love pulls the rug out
from under these feet
smiling, watching the fall
through a cloud of misconceptions
that once felt so real,
were under rug swept…
seemingly falling free
or rising to the surface;
disorientation laced with clarity
stillness always was the movement
gently drifting heart-wards
across the distance of a thought

See the world through Ramana’s eyes,
Shiva’s Heart, and Krishna’s Love.

My fancies are fireflies, —
Specks of living light
twinkling in the dark.

‘I don’t know’ is a fine state to be in. You are still busy working on your body-mind attachments. I would like you to leave all that behind. There is no end to that pruning, pull it up at the root.
How? By staying as Awareness only. Stay as the Highest. Honour the Truth in yourself. This body was given to you so that you could discover your true nature, the Origin of all, the one unborn Self. To inquire, relentlessly contemplate and strive until you are fully free from the slimy quicksand of the ego-ridden mind. For this single purpose you have appeared into manifestation: to solve yourself by dissolving the you which is the non-self, and thereafter to effortlessly celebrate your discovery as Peace, Love, Light and Joy.

My god, that's a beautiful mat!
I’m like one of them welcome mats that you have in your doorway. The idea of a welcome mat is that you step on it and you step over it and you go in the door. Wouldn’t it be silly if a neighbor came over and looked at the mat and said »My god, that’s a beautiful mat!« dropped to their knees and worshipped it for the rest of their lives? »This mat, this mat will take me in to the house, I’m sure!« Hehehe… »I know this mat will take me into the house; if I just love it enough, beg it enough or worship it enough or think it’s the best mat – better than all other welcome mats.« Meanwhile it’s at the doorway, right? The house is right there, you can walk in anytime you want. But no no no no no… I’ll worship The Mat. Hehe…
So, remember that the idea is receive the welcoming, that’s what the teaching is. It’s the welcoming. It’s like… go in this direction, look… this is the restoration of true perception, which is awakening. But it’s the true perception that is important. It’s realizing what we actually are.

»This world is a playground,« she said. »The swing keeps moving, although nobody is there to push it. Enjoy yourself, even when you’re not; there’s always stillness in the center. Just remember who these dangling feet belong to, that is all.«
Arunachala
Don’t surrender your loneliness
So quickly
Let it cut more deep
Let it ferment and season you
As few human
Or even divine ingredients can.

Quietly breathing through the bittersweetness of Shiva's tough love; discovering the art of becoming empty, disentangled, being undone... ॐ
