NIGUMA “This variety of desirous and hateful thoughts that strands us in the ocean of cyclic existence once realized to be without intrinsic nature, makes everything a golden land, child. If you meditate on the illusion-like nature of illusion-like phenomena, actual illusion-like buddhahood will occur through the power of devotion.”
“Love is our true essence. Love has no limitations of caste, religion, race, or nationality. We are all beads strung together on the same thread of love. To awaken this unity—and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature—is the true goal of human life
“Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.”
Do not stand
By my grave, and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep— I am the thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints in snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle, autumn rain, As you awake with morning's hush, I am the swift, up-flinging rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the day transcending night. Do not stand By my grave, and cry— I am not there, I did not die.
They say the world is solid, but it changes with every glance. The only stable thing, is the silent presence that holds your being when you dont know where to go anymore. Hold on to it. There you will find rest.
“Oh Kali! My mother full of bliss. Enchantress of Shiva. In your delirious joy you clap and dance. You are the mover of all that moves! We are but helpless toys.” Ramprasad, c. 1718-?
The heart must become a burial ground. Pride, selfishness, and desire all broken into dust, Then and then alone will the Mother dance there!
“When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.”
