Path of Love

To claim that one can realize Truth
merely through the ken of intellect is
akin to a sparrow attempting to
empty the shore less ocean with
its tiny, slender beak!

Truth is not personal,
yet it is not impersonal either!
It transcends logic and abstract,
when given personality
fills the heart with nameless love!

Personified He is
when stands in front of a mirror,
reflection there is You...
offer Him anything you like
where will it go, Dear?
This is the path of Love,
you get soon as you give..
love Him..will He not?

An elderly lady was invited to her old friend's home for afternoon tea. She was impressed by the way her friend preceded every request to her husband with endearing terms calling him,
"Dear Hubby, My Love, Darling, Sweet pie"
Amazingly, she had been married almost 50 years and it seemed they were still very much in love. While the husband was off in the garden, the lady leaned over and said to her friend,
"I think it's wonderful that, after all the years you've been married, you still call your husband those loving pet names."
The old woman hung her head.
"I have to tell you the truth" she said, "I forgot his name about ten years ago!"

Vasana

Vasana is the result of
fanciful ideas projected upon
a thing whose cause and consequences
are not inquired - so said
Sage Vasishta to Sri Rama

Delightful moon that you admire,
neither the light is its own,
nor is the other side is bright...
so you see through the eyes of fancy!

Rush of energy that reaches the senses
while in pursuit of sense pleasure
neither joy is in the objects
nor is in the senses
so you relish through the senses of fancy!

In deep slumber of every night
while your world is surely forgotten
neither bliss is in restful bosom
nor it is of the quiet mind
so you revel through darkness of ignorance!

=============== Quote
To give reason for fancy were to weigh the fire, and measure the wind - John Lyly

A man in a bar sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself.
Approaching the friend he comments, "You look terrible. What is the problem?"
"My mother died in August," he said, "and left me $25000."
"Gee, that's tough," he replied.
"Then in September," the friend continued, "My father died, leaving me $40,000."
"Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."
"And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000."
"Three close family members lost in three months? How sad!"
"Then this month," continued, the friend, "absolutely nothing!"
