Padma’s Words

Image by Naturelover 2007

While you sleep, he waits…

when you speak, he listens…

Your thoughts do not entertain him, he smiles as if watching the clouds

There is no action that moves him…

No words consume him

He simply waits, and watches

When you meditate, you see his reflection in you

When you are quiet, you feel him

Like a shell covering you exist to be broken through

Your task is to let him emerge through you

You are an empty shell…

He is true being

God sits silently waiting…

When you focus upon that you will feel his purity

The kindness of an eternal soul looks upon you with great compassion

You are bound by your purpose…

the only way is to lose yourself…and free the God within

Behold the Watcher

You Do Not Exist…

A host of colors inside of my head, she smiled…I felt it

Swirling like butterflies, the sounds echo

There is no turning back now

She smiled at me; in the end I saw it

Letters go unwritten, goodbyes are never said

What’s gone is gone…I feel their thoughts

I’m traveling alone

The past is a mirror, reflecting the now

Mirages are plenty, like the sun’s rays

bouncing across the sea, I hear the waves

30 years ago, we sat together

Children laughing, butterfly kisses

The music plays so softly…it echoes

I worry too much, I shouldn’t have

You were right all along my friend

A merry go round, my mother’s kiss

a dog chases a squirrel…flowers open

Even the dirt is precious, the stars never die

Our lives are a minute

So here I am, I’ve waited for this

I knew you were coming, just around the bend

She smiled…they cried, “it’s ok”

I said, here we are, its just the end.

A man knocked on my door late one evening and looked at me in pity

“I wish you could feel,” he said, and then he walked away.

Sometimes he comes back, each time his eyes full of hope, but each time he smiles and walks away. He seems to be waiting for me to do something, but I can’t figure it out.

One day I waited in meditation and called to him with the mantra: “I am ready.” They never saw me again.

Just like that man, your eternal soul is waiting for you to remove the veil of shadow from the eyes of your soul. When you believe and seek awakening with 100% of your being, then the old man will take you home. He is lonely and waiting.

Hold not onto your wealth, for it will soon fade away

Give up your desires, they will lead you astray

Don’t turn from suffering when it comes, it reminds you of this:

The Truth is that we are all dying and nothing is more important than your spirit

Don’t waste your life waiting to live another

Tend to your soul, take heed of the watcher

When you are ready, he will take you home

I’ve seen enough of this world the way that it is

Man is unkind and suffering hurts, people have lost their way

There is nowhere to go here but pain, this must stop

There is no other option but change

We live in ignorance and wait for someone else

There is no someone else

We are all tied to our fates and so we tie ourselves to death

We should tie ourselves to hope instead

Everyone is waiting for you

Your heart is waiting for you

God is waiting for you

I know you feel it…

Do what you feel must be done, regardless of the consequences

The hand of God will bless your lonesome path

There is no place to look but up anyway

Why don’t you focus on that?

Who am I, really?

Am I a man born to till the earth?

Am I a king meant to rule the world?

Where does my path go, and why does it go that way…does it even matter?

Maybe I am a soul trapped in this frame, waiting to be freed.

Maybe I am a spirit trolling through the plains, suffering for my greed.

Where am I going and do I have a choice?

Surely there must be someone who knows where this path leads…maybe they are hiding

Hidden in the trees they mock me for my ignorance

They see me struggling and laugh at the insignificance of it all

He knows it doesn’t matter, the only difference between him and I is he knows it all

I know nothing

Maybe I should stop and wait for him to get bored, then he might share his secret

We all need to know the secret, eventually…

I am going to go home and leave my doors unlocked and sit in silence until he enters.

I’ll be waiting for him and he for me.

I wrote the sun into my life

and the clouds began to show

I felt the fire of those before

but was snuffed out in the snow

The search for hope is an exhausting task

Resolve is not enough

when so many others are eager to crash

It takes a little love

With devotion I look into the eyes of masters gone before me

I pray to see the path they left and ask their light shone on me

Breathe into me your life and help me walk my path

To serve the earth and all dimensions, my passions left in back

Jesus tried to show the truth, but most were too focused on the miniscule to see the entirity.

By focusing on the message, you lose the meaning. Without grasphing, let the meaning enter you and you will find it taking root. Nurture that seed, do not force it. 

If you are lucky, it will blossom at the moment of your death.

Then you will have what you seek.

Listen to the voice, not the message.  Follow the God that grows inside of you.

There was a spring, and inside it was the source of all knowing.

Many men thirsty yet ignorant, walked beside or around the spring never noticing it was there.

Some men drank from it and were nourished.

One man fell in and was never seen again.

These people that find it, do not return from Heaven.

That is why you cannot trust worldly sources. Only by diving in can you find it for yourself.

Those that find emanicpation never come back.  Neither would you.
