The Luminous Rainbow - Shravan

The luminous Rainbow fills my heart with ecstasy ..
So do the moon and the glittering stars in the darkest sky..
The beauty of the sunrise reminds me about the synergy of the universe..
and the sunset creates a convergence in my soul..
The silver strings around the clouds play the sweetest music in my being..
The breeze gently kisses my cheeks as though I am her childhood companion..
The dance of the raindrops carries me into a trance!
The waves and foam on the sea are playful when I am near..
and my whole universe is a marvelous dream.

Still, oftentimes I ponder ..
Though I am an infinite drop in this infinite ocean,
why do I feel so finite and estranged in my own consciousness?

The Desert has a flowery Heart - By Shravan

Have you ever looked deep into the heart of the desert? Ever wondered at that flowery heart?

Even in the midst of the driest desert, under the burning sand, when the rain drops come down and kiss its heart, the longing of the desert sprouts. I have always gazed at those flowers in overwhelming wonder! They appear as though from nowhere covering the entire desert with yellow carpets and mysteriously vanish as they had never been when the season ends.

Seeing them, I pondered if the potentiality was sleeping beneath, in which unknown season the seeds were sown? Nobody knows! I now realize that fragrance, beauty and innocence were the qualities sleeping in the desert’s innermost core and with unconditional love they bloom in the right season.

It seems to me this gesture of the desert is a reminder for every human heart about its beautiful garden sleeping deep inside. Though long forgotten, the potentiality for love is still very alive in everybody’s heart. It has only been eclipsed by our restless mind. Only the heavy weight of feverishness is to be removed. Cool your heart with the rain drops of meditative silence, love will definitely sprout there and transform the desert of your heart into a garden of flowers – the very luminosity of your spirit will be revealed.
