"One catches it or doesn't"

There is no need to talk “about”,
No need to “know” or “understand”,

To make a “thing” of This,
Seems to me, profane.

This is the Ancient Way,
The Pathless Path.

Not better or worse,
But just as it is.

One “catches” it,
Or doesn't.

You needn't speak at all.

Only your Presence is required…
To Invoke what words can never convey.

The Path of the Idiot

Any Friend capable of “noticing”
Dissolves effortlessly in their tea.
One either “catches it”,
Or doesn't.

I want nothing to do with “spirituality”,
With sitting around talking endlessly about it.

I would never say that others should not do so.
Everyone must follow their Heart.

All is as God wills it.

I, alas, am simply not interested.
And so I stay Here.

If someone comes,
They are welcomed.

If they leave,
They are followed by Love.

The Heart is untouched, unmoved,
By comings and goings.

But touches and moves,
Through the power of its Love.

There's no sign on the door,
Announcing anything.

One must simply wander by,
And… notice.

Then, two friends take tea and chat,
But not about “spirituality”.

Any friend capable of “noticing”,
Dissolves effortlessly in their tea.

There is no need to talk “about”,
No need to “know” or “understand”,

To make a “thing” of This,
Seems to me, profane.

This is the Ancient Way,
The Pathless Path.

Not better or worse,
But just as it is.

One “catches” it,
Or doesn't.

A Simple Man


“You must always be a simple man,
A simple man, leading a simple life.” my Baba said.

“You will not push yourself out.
Writing a book, printing flyers, renting a hall,

And throwing the doors open,
For all who pass by.

Those who Love will be… pulled,
And will come to take tea and chat.

You will not sit ‘in front’ of a group,
But only, always, ‘across’ from a Friend,

Fellow Lovers on the Way of the Heart…
Bathed in the Perfume of The Beloved.

You will not tell anyone anything,
Of the Grace you have received…

You will not tell anyone you are their guru.

They will tell you,
When they feel its Radiance.

Only then… you may speak.

But you needn't speak,
To inform or instruct.

You needn't speak at all.

Only your Presence is required…
To Invoke what words can never convey.

And in time, through Grace,
As you have received…

They will become… like you!

And in all of this, all of this
You will remain, always…

Always…

A simple man.”
