Inspirational Renderings

J.Krishnamurti, one of the great thinkers of our time,from his book,
Commentaries on Living (1st Series)

"See the truth that thought , the outcome of the known can never be in the state of experiencing.
Experiencing is always the new; thinking is always of the old. See the truth of this, and truth brings
freedom-----freedom from thought, the result. Then there is that which is beyond consciousness,
which is neither sleeping nor waking, which is nameless :
it is."

Four poems written by
Shams-ud-din Muhanmad Hafiz,
(c.1320-1398)
Beloved poet from Persia

My Brilliant Image

One day the sun admitted,

I am just a shadow.
I wish I could show you
The Infinite Incandescence

That has cast my brilliant image!

I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,

The Astonishing Light

Of your own Being!

Every Movement

I rarely let the word "No" escape
From my mouth

Because it is so plain to my soul

That God has shouted,"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
To every luminous movement in Existence.

I Am Determined

One regret,dear world,
That I am determined not to have
When I am lying on my deathbed
Is that
I did not kiss you enough.

Levels of Love

All I know is Love,
And I find my heart Infinite
And Everywhere!
