True Love is Boundless

“True love is boundless like the ocean and, swelling within one, spreads itself out and, crossing all boundaries and frontiers, envelopes the whole world.”

—Gandhi

Only with the Heart

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, “The Little Prince”

Light, My Light

Light, my light, the world-filling light,
the eye-kissing light,
heart-sweetening light!

Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life;
the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love;
the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth.

The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light.
Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light.

The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling,
and it scatters gems in profusion.

Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling,
and gladness without measure.

The heaven’s river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad.

—Rabindranath Tagore

The Angels, Gracious Lights of Soul

The Angels,
Gracious Lights of Soul,
bending near the earth in me,
touching the golden harp-strings
of my heart,
and all worlds
in silent obeisance lay
to hear their voices

“Peace and Joy!
“Peace and Joy!
Peace and Joy
Unto All.”

Upon this midnight clear
I listen to their Word resounding
Still. . .

—Swami Kamalananda
