Oh, Time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that flies,
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes …

Promise

 

Your blond hair

is the way I live –

smashed by light !

 

Your mouthprint

is the birthmark

on my power.

 

To love you

is to live

my ideal diary

 

which I have

promised my body

I will never write !

 

- Leonard Cohen From ‘Flowers for Hitler’

Questioner: Must not one be fit and eligible for realisation? Our nature is animal to the core. Unless it is conquered, how can we hope for reality to dawn? Nisargadatta Maharaj: Leave the animal alone. Let it be. Just remember what you are. Use every incident of the day to remind you that without you as the witness there would be neither animal nor God. Understand that you are both, the essence and the substance of all there is, and remain firm in your understanding. ~ from &#8216;I Am That&#8217;, chapter 92

‘On Up the Mountain’

Soon morning comes
To warm the world and wake you up
Night is gone awful fast
It ain’t wrong to be sad

There’s a light making its way
On up the mountain night and day
You’ll go down and you’ll go deep
But you won’t surrender your masterpiece

- Jakob Dylan

“Your health is bound to be affected if, day after day, you say the opposite of what you feel, if you grovel before what you dislike… Our nervous system isn’t just fiction, it’s part of our physical body, and it can’t be forever violated with impunity.”

- Boris Pasternak

What if you let go of every bit of control and every urge that you have, right down to the most infinitesimal urge to control anything, anywhere, including anything that may be happening with you at this moment? If you were able to give up control absolutely, totally, and completely, then you would be a spiritually free being.  ~ Adyashanti
