YOU BELONG TO THE STARS

When Bhagwan first spoke to me in person
forty-six years ago, he said
"You belong to the stars.
That is your destiny."
I was overwhelmed at the time
and excited by the prospect.
Of course I did not really understand his message,
but I nevertheless felt that it was so,
or wanted it to be so.
And now it has become so."
And that is our overriding message
in this book for you.
You belong to the stars.
KISSING THE JOY AS IT FLIES
Letters
to the Beloved

I have never been sure what love means
but if it is measured by delight in your company
ecstasy and tenderness in making love
and longing for you when I am away from you
then I love you more deeply
than
any woman I have known
IF - A MOTHER TO HER DAUGHTER
If you can dream
and let your dreams possess you
If you can feel
and let your feelings show
If you are not afraid to vent your anger
or fall in love
and manage to let go
**
If you can weep
and let your tears enfold you
If you can bleed for love
and let it flow
If you can speak
with strength and understanding
what only those in silence
ever know
SONG OF LOVE
in the arms of the night
you hold me
in the songs of the stars
you sing to me
you
kiss me
with the gentle breeze
and wrap your cloak of velvet
round my shoulders
in the silent darkness
o beloved
clothe me
in your colours
bathe me
in the stream
of your delight
***
i reach for you
you do not take my hand
but point to my own fingers
i look into your eyes
you close them gently
saying silently
your eyes are also clear
i sit beside you
longing to come closer
you move aside
reminding me
that i can be the moon
for which i long
again, again
you whisper it
again, again
i miss you
in your face,
your name
your form
but you have long since disappeared
and only memory
can
tell me
that you once were there
only when i reach for you
i feel alone
otherwise
i am
at home
***
you have set me free, beloved
to roam this world alone
to be whatever i would be
not asking anyone
the love that showers
on the flowers
is showering on me
and i feel the heartbeat
of the earth
in the mountains
and the trees
the journey now is over
and all the work is done
my heart is full of gladness
as i lie here in the sun
i
feel the wind rush through me
and the sand between my feet
and i hear the sounds of children
as they run along the street
i see my mother’s
wondering eyes
as she calls me by my name
although she thinks she knows me
i’m no longer just the same
and my father doesn’t
say so
but he knows i’ll soon be gone
to another place, another time
to sing another song
for i’ve been on many journeys
and i’ve travelled many miles
and all i know of love
is when i see someone who smiles
my heart is light and dancing
my spirit sings in joy
i see this little game of life
as nothing but a toy
to play with
and to savour
until the time has come
to enter into nowhere land
the land beyond the sun
i don't know where i'm going
but i'm never coming back
for
the road that leads
to nowhere land
is just a one-way track
and although there's no direction
and
there's nothing left to do
somehow, something is leading me
into the distant blue
where
all is gone forever
and has vanished in the sky
and there’s nothing left
but silence
and the mist that passes by
and there’s nothing left
but silence
JOURNEY OF A SANNYASIN
The relationship
between a master and disciple
is impossible to describe.
There
is no way to transmit
the nature of the experience
to another person.
It is only possible to hint
at the processes that take place.
Those
who are interested
in deeper levels of understanding
should be prepared
to face the situations and experiences
they fear,
to take a risk
and trust someone they love
during the operation.
