A Sutra a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
What are these sutras
You speak so about?
Are they stitches like sutures
With some sort of clout?Good question, my friend~
Why, yes, yes indeed,
These sutras are potent
In times of great need.In times of great need,
And in times of great bliss,
These highly condensed words
Should not be dismissed.The most essential core thread,
Of deep subtle meaning,
That runs through the fabric~
It supports out of gleanings.Gleanings of insights,
And wisdom fused pearls~
From the direct experience
Of wise boys and girls.Sutras express so much
In so very few words.
With vast significance,
It’s not for the birds.Sutras are formulas
To be memorized and studied.
To solve the perplexities~
Of minds getting muddied.So chose your text wisely~
Yoga, Shiva or Seuss,
Buddhist, Tao, Platform,
Tripitaka or Mother Goose.Then write them in BOLD~
Where you’ll see them each day!
Melt their magnificence
In every which way.
How to Bliss Bomb the World
So you finish your practice~
You feel loving and calm.
There is nothing you dismiss~
You are full of BLISS bombs.You rejoin your family~’
And what do you hear?
Shouts of anxieties~
Blames, Shames, doubts and fears!Does loving-kindness deflate
As you join the contention?
Or will your blissed state
Transmit without tension?Each time you experience
The delight of {I AM}
Your bliss will flow forth~
Like a hydraulic ram.Embody the KNOWING~
Of your inner LOVE state.
So you can keep it safe~
And INTERRELATE.YOGA says your relationship
between you and your SELF~
can not be diminished,
or put upon a shelf.You take your SELF
everywhere you GO!
Then everything is spiritual
from Grumps to Sloppy Joes!Lokanandah Samadhi-Sukham
Shiva Sutra One.Eighteen~
Your inner bliss continues
Like you won the slot machines.So how do we GROW
In our capacity for such LOVE?
Without mermaids and unicorns~
Blue moons and white doves?We create an INNER space
Direct love toward KNOWERSHIP~
Call forth our virtues,
Our patience, our grit.We bridge the gap of difference
SERVE in a profound way~
Not cold duty or bargain~
LOVE is the order of each day.Become capable with powers
Of WILL, KNOWING, and ACTING
By practicing {I AM}
Without useless distracting.Place your hand over your HEART~
Feel right beneath your palm~
Towards your back body~
Where this is endless peace and calm.Allow your attention
To be with your BREATH~
To flow in and flow out
Softly in your chest.Welcome the BREATH~
Right into your HEART.
Feel a soft golden sun
That is bright, warm and smart.With each breath IN~
make that SUN glow.
With Each breath OUT~
Expand the warmth to and fro.As you welcome the breath in
To the vast INNER world~
Invite the HEART to reveal
It’s largeness, depth, and swirl.Flow in with the thought {I AM}
The mantra of the inner self~
(Not I am Sam~
Or I am a silly elf)The heart receives the breath
With the recognition {I AM}
The exhalation feels space,
The experience of BLISS BAM.Practice with eyes open
Practice with eyes closed
Practice often
And LOVE will be exposed.As you greet those outside~
Amongst the chaotic and mundane~
Stay tuned into your heart
And send LOVE to their pain.You’ll get glimpses of KNOWING
Your yoga is working~
When outer frustrations
Are shirking, not lurking.
