The Gift Of Music

Music is the heartbeat of the soul. So magnificent. So beautiful. It's a reminder of what we love the most. A gift to remind us of our soul. Music sets us free. It opens hearts and enables us to appreciate life. Music is the tender stream of divine reminiscence. A soul movement, a nectar flow that nurtures the heart. Music and rhythm find their way into the secret chambers of the soul. They reflect the deepest mysteries of the heart. Music is what feelings sound like. It is the divine way to tell beautiful, poetic things to the heart. Music is intimacy. One soul communicating, one soul receiving, with the least possibility for misunderstanding. It is immediate communion. Love, joy, the inexplicable - all can be transmitted by the wonder of music. Music speaks what cannot be expressed. It heals the heart and makes it whole. It is verily the refreshment of the soul.

Beautiful Sunset

April 4, 2009 - Malmö, Sweden

I had the joy of witnessing a lovely sunset by the beach today, for the first time in my life! The sky was perfectly blue, the waters shimmering and calm, a pleasant climate and a beautiful piece of music by Yanni in the headphones. Time came to a standstill and I was overcome with admiration and delight. How amazing was the Beloved's creation. A profound thought struck me: I'm in no way different from the perfection and beauty of this wondrous sunset. The Beloved has created masterpieces in every detail of His creation, so why should I believe He made a mistake when he made me? Of course he didn't. Happiness is about seeing beyond the imperfections: I am a spiritual being, many many times more illuminating and dazzling than the sun. The perfect me isn't something I need to create, because the Beloved has already created it.

Magical Creativity

Nothing can ever compare in refinement and completeness to the moment when the Divine Fluteplayer blows life into us. In that moment we become as much the instruments of the divine melody as the ones rapt in cherishing that wonder being manifest through us. The magic is here, always here. When we are aligned, it permeates our consciousness. The potential of our being is to always live in that wondrous reality, our spirits crowned with rainbows of abundance. How marvelous is our prospect! Each soul is in essential identity a conduit of the magical creativity of the Divine Artist.

Daybreak

When the morning's sun passes quietly 

through the window-pane,
happy and cautious,
like a child who wants to surprise
early, early on a festive day -
then I stretch full of growing delight
my open arms to the coming day -
for the day is You,
and the light is You,
the sun is You,
and the spring is You,
and all the beautiful, beautiful
life that awaits is You!

Karin Boye

Marvelous Dreams

How marvelous

a rainbow sparkling with magic

an invitation of love

a friend waiting impatiently

carefree dance and smiles

laughter and peace around

ever new realms of joy

Vrindavana is a lovely place
beautiful and sweet
every moment a perfection
each step filled with wonder
every blink of an eye
revealing new shades of delight
where is worry and anxiety?
they have fled away
only love prevails
Krishna is calling
waiting eagerly
the time is close
we will soon be back
with the Beloved
to live a life of sweet
marvelous dreams.

Let's Dance

The sweet melody of the heart - love - the shining elusive sustenance of our soul. The heart is tender. It's a beautiful thing. It does not like boredom and stagnation. It is made for fun, love and adventure. Everyday in the spiritual world is a matchless, festive celebration. The sense of community and solidarity that pervades the spiritual world, that is what we are impatiently waiting for. The beauty of Vrindavana is what the heart is searching for. A beautiful blue sky, birds that chirp sweetly, endless variety of enchanting flowers, peace and sweetness everywhere. That is what our hearts are longing for. Love is the melody our hearts eternally dances to. Let's dance!
