Gratitude and Grace Retreat

An inner attack- is black
I learned today is a mass
And in terms of creating masses-
I am best in class.

And yet when I write there is
a hidden delight that I feel
most, most in the darkness starred night
I feel opened out-devout,
and my place on Earth
is not the place of my birth.

Harvest of Insights

Written by Radha Lakshmi
Happiness is born out of love
was my first lesson, that came from Bhairav
one seeks happiness and rejects love endless pleasure, not endless love-

I adore all that is below
and has its roots
where sails those on wings
born of God¹s inspiration, His creativity-as-His-love

Loving is the Key to Thinking

Written by Radha Lakshmi

Loving is the key to thinking

Heart closed, thoughts sinking

Shutter closed, ideas like distant stars- barely blinking

I feel the difficulty

The difficulty in true and deep thinking

Crawling with my Face for Thee

Written by Sadhananda

Exercise: Ask God, or your Higher Self, what advise or information you need to succeed in the next stage of your spiritual journey?

I asked, and this is what came...

Crawl child, crawl...
Let thy face drown in the low ground
Crawl as Saint Francis and Ramakrishna did
Dance as a snake for thy holy Creator

Lift thy weak hand
Beg for help
Humble thyself

Repent, Repent, Repent...!
Do not rise until thy heart
Has opened and is bleeding
With My Love

Fly the Dragon

Written by Marjiva

Exercise: What message would God give you for your next stage of the spiritual journey? 

Fly the Dragon 

Become whole
The master over the ego’s wild jerks,
Ricocheting impulses of destruction;
Harness the split double-you
Dive through the hole – portal – passage to holiness
The other side of ‘exit’ is ‘enter,’
From exile, the return.
Fear not a searing fallI’
ll be there to catch you. 

The bleeding cut before hidden
Strata upon strata and now exposed,
Healed in Love’s embrace,
The new found circle of wholeness
Contains all wounds,
Hermetically sealed, none escape;
Suture kindest of seamstress,
Hermit alone in God
All evil spells, burnt.
Easter time for new attires,
From death, the revival.

Hymn of Benevolence

Written by Sadhananda

Oh dear child, friend, or beloved

I beg you to trust the words I say unto thee

Because they come not from my blindness

But from the golden sea of our eternal Being

Going for the Rope

Written by Sat

People who make the courageous and wise decision of exploring their inner self will inevitably face a number of transformational phases that will represent trials and challenges along their spiritual journey. For those few souls who persevere and triumph against these divine tribulations, a number of interesting doors will begin to open. One of the first doors recognized in the Sat Yoga Approach, and perhaps one of the most difficult ones to open, is the door that leads to higher discernment. Discernment in Sanskrit is known as viveka. Thus, we will also refer to the domain of higher discernment as the Viveka Point.

An Evening of Divine Love

Written by Sat

Drowning, drowning

In the Golden waters of thy Heart

 ***

 And all of a sudden

I saw thy beauty and thy goodness

And my heart cried painfully

And then it opened
