Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly
I am realizing that all effort I
made in my life
And all my suffering was to
obtain
What I owned and had in my hands.
Slowly, slowly
I am becoming what I have always
been.
Slowly, slowly
I am waking up from a deep sleep.
What ever true or false I went
through was just a dream.
I am realizing even the dreamer
was a part of the dream.
Slowly, slowly
I am realizing that nothing ever
happened at all.
Slowly, slowly
My heart is telling me to die to
be reborn as light.

________________________ My mind said a lie

110510
My mind said a lie
My heart believed and cried
My mind said to my heart
Didn’t you see it was me
Who said just a lie?
My heart said to my mind
Haven’t you noticed
I was born blind?
My mind was torn apart
Tears in eyes
My mind said to my heart
I would never say again a lie
Forever I will be your guide
Never again cry.
“I”, thoughtless, watched
Stayed still and untouched
That the time comes
All become nothing but light.

110507
It didn’t have a shape
Colourless without any smell
I had it in my hands
I brought it for Her
With such a care.
I offered it to Her
She looked into my eyes
With such a smile on her face
That I forgot myself
I lost my Self in Hers
When I came back to earth
When I opened my eyes
I found my heart and my hands
Both wide open
Since She was “I” in myself
I didn’t need anymore
To give or to take.

____________________________ I always knew __________________________
110501
I always knew
I’ve been followed by HER
I could hear HER voice
I could feel HER steps
Who else could be but HER.
Once the night was there
Spreading its veil
Darkness taking place
Between me and HER
I always knew
I needed one more step
To be one with HER
Still I stayed
Watching HER dancing
Naked behind that veil
I kept my breath in the chest
By fear of light
That it may come
To put an end
To my being with HER
O friends
Love does not have a face
Love could appear in all shapes.

____________________________ “I”s today
prayer __________________________
110323
Oh my God
Make me be soft
The way you talk to my heart
Give my eyes the same light
When I see you when I close my eyes
Teach my hands the generosity
That is in yours when you are creating all
Like you are doing nothing at all
Oh my God
Why should I be
Where and when you are
Be “I”
Like I have never been at all

_________________________ She flew away __________________________
110318
She flew away
To give me the wings
To fly with Her
What I couldn’t do
While She was still on earth
I
flew far away
I
saw here from there
I
saw nothing but Her
I
left Her alone
Tears in my eyes
Heart full of joy
To come back to you
The Truth to tell
O
sisters and brothers
O
people of the world
Half of me is here
Half of me with Her
Call everyone on earth
Even those already dead
Or still not born
To become one within me
To find Her again
To fly over there
No one has ever been
I
should warn you dear
Who close your eyes to see even better
If with wings you see yourself there
She is flying in you of that be aware

O Dear
friends
I am
passing away
I don’t mind
at all
Something is
burning in me
I see its
light in your eyes
I feel its
warmth in my heart
The time is
too slow
The space
too small
What I can
do
When I can
not fly
Like a bird
in the sky
Swim like a
fish
As all of
them they know
Innocent
like a child
As once all
of us have been
I am what I
am
The way She
wants each of us
Like a
candle
I am burning
inside
Drop by drop
“I” is
leaving “I”
You can see
them in my eyes
I can feel
it in my heart
Take me with
you
Where ever
you go
SHE in “I”
Wants to be
alone

100321
I asked for a tear of
Hers
She gave me all oceans on
earth
I asked for a ray of Her
light
She put all stars in the
palm of my hands
I asked Her for a glance
She revealed the veil,
looking at me face to face
Since then I am wondering
in I
Still asking for more of
Her
Wondering in Her
Still giving more than
ever of Hers.
If you see you blossoming
If you see the bird took
you as a tree
Know that it comes from
you
From your light
If SHE gives
There will be no one
To say and to see the
result

______________________________ I woke up _______________________________
100131
I woke up
In the middle of the
night
With such a joy in heart
I wrote with any doubt
How I love the night
How I love the darkness
How I love….
The pen broke
The paper torn apart
The ink cried
Black tears in eyes
Scared, I asked them why?
Guilty, my hand stopped
Beg them the answer they
write
I love You, the night
I love You, the darkness
I love You, the silence
……………………………..
……………………………..
They wrote and I cried
Hands in hands
Eyes in eyes
Heart to heart
The whole night
We danced
The sun was up
In the middle of the sky
When I opened my eyes
Being “You” in “I”.

_____________________ The
prayer of a seeker to God _______________________
100108
He made me wise
More than He did to all
He made me happy
More than He did to all
He gave me no need
More than He did to all
He gave me a heart
Like no one has one
He made me fond of Him
Like I am not at all
………………………………
……………………………….
That I think
That I sleep
That I eat
That I read
That I pray
That I sin
……………………………….
………………………………
Aware like all
Who still not born
I look at the same point
I listen to the same
voice
I seek the same word
With Him in love I am
He who always gives
That He tells me why
Or gives me His eyes
To see what He sees
That I
don’t see at all

_________________________Nobody knew him ________________________
100102
Unknown he came
By himself he lived
In that small village.
Every early morning
The same path he took
Toward the summit
Of that high mountain.
On the summit
He waited, sometimes very
long
For that majestic bird
In the sky, appears.
Simorgh in the sky
The man in his heart
Both hovered
In space and time
People in the village
knew
That he was going to
arrive
When they could see
Simorgh
In the sky, just above
their head.
Until that day, not like
any other day
For the man never did
return
No one worried, no body
ask why
As Simorgh either did
not appear.
…………………………………..
…………………………………….
But I asked grandma
What happened to them?
When I was a child
She told me the tale
Simorgh gave him The
wings
To taste the flying in
the sky
Simorgh is waiting there
For His
return to earth.

_________________________ Illusion – Reality – Truth _________________________
When I see all these books
Maybe some of them true
When I see all these minds
Each full of only thoughts
I wonder if really I am
Awake or alive
Maybe dead already I am
Which one is a dream?
Which one really is?
The Truth can be two?
All was very dark
I was suffering a lot
Light knocked at the door
The dream was gone
What release this it was
The sun woke me up
Its light made me blind
My mind became all
“I” was left in dark
This was not a dream
Real all this it was
Day and night both are gone
I am waiting for the pure light
To rise in my heart
Wake the mind up
To see other than “I”
If really there are
Dream, reality or Truth
“I’ has always been
The centre of all
When it came to the Truth
“I” became silent
Left its own place
To the sound of OM
Which put an end to all. |
|
______________________________The Last Step
_____________________________
The mountain was high
Rocks made the path rough
No one could reach there
If the Truth didn’t help
Seeing that man
Alone sitting there
After all this time
All human being left behind
Sounded a day not like other days
- “Where are you going my son?”
Brought him back to earth
-“Looking for God I find myself here”
Brought smile on seated man face
- “ How do you trust the path?”
- “ My heart told me he was somewhere here”
- “ How do you know if is him
If you see him right here?
Go back home my son
He is waiting for you there.”
- “ If you say the Truth
Then I can trust my heart
Which brought me here
The Truth to hear.”
No more words between them were said
His heart told him the last word to say
That that man sitting there
Could have seen God
If he had taken one more step
He forgot himself looking to see God
He suffered a lot that we are all so close
But we stop before, before taking the last step
Without any word without any thought
He wished for all, all he wished for himself
He took back the road going back to home
God witnessing all is the only one who knows
What wish that night that no word no thought wish was
There are legends which say
That man sitting there was himself God
Some others say the man sitting there
Knew God was behind that step
Would rather sit there
That it happens this way that day
Or maybe just only
Sitting there was his last step
I would rather say
About that wish that day
That these kinds of wishes
Always right away happens
He went back home
To take as many steps
He wished that each of those steps
Be counted as the last step
For each of us who doesn’t know
How close we are
Or couldn’t take that step
The journey is all yours
But maybe the last step
The man sitting there
Is waiting for you there
To show what could be
For you the last step to take
|
|
__________________________ How lonely I
am ______________________________
I closed my eyes
To see if really I am
I erased life in me
To see that, inside of his dream I am
Beyond life and death
“I” was left alone
Life could not bear that
Revealed that the dreamer I am
Where can I go?
To whom can I say?
How lonely I am
However vast could be the limit I am
What ever could be the seer I am
|
|
________________________ Like just a dream this was _________________________
The egg cracked
A tiny head went out
Shined the message of life
In the new borne eyes
The approach of the time to fly
This could not be otherwise
The tree passed on the news
The wind to whom there was
In hands the universe took the new life
Sitting under the tree
The Enlightened One was witnessing all
Didn’t move at all
Like just a dream this was
|
|
______________________________What Is "I" _________________________________
What ever I said was only words
What ever I thought was only thoughts
Until I discovered the heart
There is pain for the body
Plaisir and suffering for mind
Joy and bliss for heart
With one eye I cry
With the other I smile
In peace I am in heart
Love points the direction
Compassion gives the strength
Unity is just the end of the road
Alone but not lonely
I grasp the whole and see
How deep is "I am"
Doubtless I live
Thoughtless I am
Wordless to say what "I" is

______________________________ Purpose Of Life
_____________________________
God created the universe the same and wanted the same for all. But human as the only one who had the privilege of consciousness, thought and wanted more, to be different from all. Of love the father of all agreed and whished for all good luck.
It’s why we are living the way we are. Divided and separated each of us tries his or her best for him or her or for his or hers and everyone in his or her own way. We left the kingdom of God and we built houses, cities, countries and continents. All protected by a deep and tall wall.
For ordinary people everything is clear, simple and obvious. They know all and life is the purpose of life. They live, enjoy and suffer in their own different and unique way without ever asking for why.
There is also another category of people. They call themselves the seeker of Truth. All they seek is the real purpose of life and not finding it since the ages their seeking becomes their purpose of life. They turn toward the same or their own different Gods asking the same question in different ways and languages and they receive the same reply although they hear it in their own different and unique one. God tells them that they wanted to be different and unique then they are. He gave them the chance to see, to hear and think the same thing in so many different and unique ways. This applies also to the purpose of each of us life. Each of us has to find that unique response to the unique purpose of life. It’s not something that we can find in a book written by someone else. It should be in ours. Not in someone else teaching it should become within us. Was it this that we wanted all over all. Sad or pleasant this is the human destiny and it is one for all.
A good story is the one who finishes well. This one is one of them. By God’s love finally the seekers reach to the same destiny by two different paths.
The first which is the path of self-enquiry who resumes itself in: “I is all, all is not”. The second which is the path of devotion says: “all is, “I” is not, and both ends in divine love.
God left our destiny in our own hands because of our own free will and request. As a lover he did so, suffers with us and will bring us back together by the power of love.
|
____________________________ Free Will Or Destiny __________________________
Free Will or Determinism?
Destiny begins where knowledge, understanding, awerness ends.
Everyone is absolutely right in the limit of his/her awerness. In absolute, where there is unity there is no particular and all is free will. Existance is the result of duality and free will has its own limitation.
Who knows all accepts the destiny. Who is one with all is free of all thoughts.
|
|
_____________________________ Return Of Light _____________________________
Smile on the face
Joy and peace in heart
Chanting and dancing
Not from what being seen
Or that being lived
But from listening the steps of time
Which goes and takes away
The shadow and veil
Diving deep into last trace of "I"
“I” is not but awareness is all
Expecting the return of light
The eternal life
|
|
___________________________ Truth Always Remains _________________________
It broke my heart
This made her laugh
Something she said, later I heard
Joy and pain both come and go
When the Truth always remains
No place for this or that
Is there after that
|
|
___________________________ Search That Is Not ____________________________
Behind every 'being' there is a belief
Search that, that is not
It will take you where is not
The belief will say to be this can not
Say, not to be is the being of who is not.
What ever I say is about this side
Search that, that is not
It will you take there, that this or that is not
Where else this can be, that the limit of I
Search that one this side is not.

_________________________________ Sin
________________________________
- What is sin?
- All that binds you.
|
|
__________________________ Love - Wisdom - I _____________________________
Where are you?
With Love? Wisdom? or I?
Love says:
I am all
Wisdom says:
I am none
I says:
I is both, neither and beyond all.
|
|
__________________________ You Read My Heart ____________________________
The master says to be silent
How can I?
Be-loved is calling where I am
The master orders not to write
How can I?
I have her letter in hand
You wrote my soul
I re-wrote your words with my own hand
You read my heart
I re-read yours with that not I am
Then I heard that force
That keeps us
both on the same path
|
|
_____________________________ That is YOU in I ____________________________
Talking about communication
Listen to me my friend
This is my pain, my song
I see it in all seen
I hear it in all heard
Unable I am about to talk
Came to me in the middle of the night
That I see is not in sight
That I hear is not a sound
It is in me, it is from me
It is with me, it is me
But I am not one with all
My being is my saying
You would see it,
if YOU was not
YOU is if you were all
Just be my dear
Sing your song
Let me sing and be that is YOU in I
|
____________________________ The Forth Line _____________________________
How can we know what happens to us on the path of the Truth is a punishment or a compensation:
1- The detachment from what had appeared once, to be real gives the seeker a sense of drunkness, bliss and flight over all. How strong one can be to become detached of that one?
Rumi's version of this step is being drawn in the divine wine.
2- Detached of all becomes in love with all. What can be the reason to leave this place where the divine love is pouring from everywhere?
Rumi's version of this step is ' Only You'
3- What else remains from the seeker after leaving the mind and the heart both behind. Rumi answers to this is " the one that is not anymore one but a fool one."
4- As the death keeps an eye on the life, 'being' watches on all who are. Once there it opens its heart and becomes one with the one that is not.
Rumi says this is the forth line

___________________________Seeker of the Truth ____________________________
Seeker of the Truth
By whatever means you are traversing this ocean named life
By swimming, flying or paddling
Know that the ocean, the earth and the sky are you
Paddling, swimming or flying are you
The water, the waves, and the shore are you
All is you but that, that you are.
Seeker of the Truth
You know all when you know you are all
That there is nothing more to find in a book
No one to teach you a new word
Wait until the time comes for you to know
Then the knower, the knowledge and the knowing
All become one, and that one none
Seeker of the Truth
There are voices and that wakes the ears up
There are words and that creates monologues, lectures and talks
There are meanings and that creates discussions, dialogues, disputes and fights
There are hidden messages and that creates communions and inspirations
There are signs and that enlightens the mind
Listen with your heart you will hear all and that creates love
Seeker of the Truth
It’s said and given to each as to all
It’s in each what hidden in all
The journey could be ended just now if it was seen and heard once for all
Look into your eyes; put a hand on “I”
Turn and go within, straight to the heart
What has been looked for has been waiting for long
Seeker of the Truth
Stop talking
Stop thinking
Stop remembering
Stop knowing
Stop being
Die still alive. Let the mortal gone.
Experience what has always been, the pure consciousness.
Then be, know, remember, think and talk.
This and that are both gone. What ever stayed is what ever is, and that is all.

________________________
Conscious of Consciousness ______ _______________
Attention, Now, Truth, Divine Knowledge are all the path, toward Consciousness which is also a path. A path toward consciousness which becomes aware of being conscious. This is also a path toward what is. This not what you see. You see as much as you are. To see all you should not be. This is what it is, being what it is not.

____________________ “I” immerged, universe was born _____________________
Never seen, desired to see
Universe immerged, “I” was born
Being the key, look for the door
Being the flow, flow to the source
“I” is, not this not that
“I” is the light, when life is dark
Being the light never sees the night
But in the darkness of mind
Never been desired to be
“I” immerged, universe was born
|
__________________________ Know Your Self _______________________________
Not this nor that
Not a leader nor a follower
Not a message nor a word, not yes nor no, not white nor black I am
Not the way you say nor the way they thought, not the way they said nor the way you heared, I am
Not in trance nor to earth attached, not slave of men nor in chain to God I am
Neither a mirage nor a glass of wine for your empty hands, not in cage not worried I am
Neither a messenger nor a beggar of temples or taverns I am
Not the hell, nor the paradise, even not the destiny I am
Not now nor for the first time I say or write this. Since dawn with light I drawn that
The Truth is not because of the shape nor of the colour, not because of this nor that, not related to glass or the carafe
If you have reached to this point I would tell you in secret the mystery, scared that the stranger would hear that
You are that one they talked and said much about, you are the essential of life, hidden or seen by all you are what you were looking for that
Now and then, here and there you are the secret of all, essence of love and you don’t know that,
You are all, you are each
You are the silence, the divine garden, the paradise, free of questions and answers of this or that
If you heard this mystery, if you weren’t overwhelm by fear I swear you would be awakened
You would be the God of all planets
Not a part, not like the water in clay but you that self
Meet yourself
If you don’t want to follow who ever, what ever they claim
Then you won’t see other than the shining light of your self nor other than the bliss of the unity
Know your self

______________________
Grand assembly of the universe _____________________
In the grand assembly of the universe, the one that takes only once in every moment, everyone said what they had to say. To the wise it was just a moment, to the ignorant long enough to be born, bored and dead. When it came to The Sun, it said that it would give its turn to the one that has more to say, unless no one had any more to say. Then it would say. As in the light the darkness has no place to stay, the silence took place and The Sun for ever, this, continued to say.
Out of duality I am the saying, not what has been said nor the one who said.
I am one with who ever says or what ever it has been said.
I am the light that makes being to be, the seen be seen.
I am the place, where, seeing, seen and the one who sees are the same.
More you know, you know, you know less.
Closer the light goes, further the darkness, the purpose and the goal will go.
Day has never met the night but only the dreamer, a trace that the night has been there.
No more left than to be, to me The Sun, to shine, what ever the light of The Truth would say.

Our intellect makes us blind _________________________
Our intellect makes us blind. We don’t see anymore with our eyes but with our brain. If we don’t see we say it doesn’t exist and if we don’t understand we believe it’s meaningless. In each encountering in a split of second we are experiencing the Truth but as not being aware, right away our mind, our intellect get over it and push us to experience it through their own field of mental understanding, which is a veil to the real. The confusion, the non-understanding and the unknown are all opportunities to jump beyond the mind and the intellect and witnessing the real, the Truth, the only one that is.
“I” has been waiting with the cup in hand for the right time
That the cup falls and the wine be released from its cage
That the wine – a cup but itself - be poured in the throat of the thirsty seeker to release the drunkenness
The drunkenness, too, comes and goes releasing the freedom
The freedom from what I am, this or that
To reach the consciousness, a flash light, a candle in the middle of a sunny day
Not for long time, as false and darkness are condemned to go away
How far one can dig? Where the Truth can go when awareness is there
Then the seer and the seen, the object and the subject, become one
True and pure knowledge, as the source and flow are the same

___________________________ Other side of the river ___________________________
He started the day like every other day. He didn’t know that day was a day not like other days. Going to the river, sitting on his chair, staring at the water and fishing were all he had done until that day.
When the sun ended that special day he went back home like every other day. He cooked and ate the fish that he didn’t fish, as himself was fished and thrown to the other side of the river that day.
Since then he goes every day again and again to the other side of the river. He seats and watches himself fishing on the other side of the river.

________________________________ Now __________________________________
What is this "Now" which has always been, is and will be. Where ever we go, what ever we do we are in it and we are with it. The past is only memory, the future is a wish.
We can change the word "Now" with "I" and say the same thing. The duality of "I" and "Now" is a cage, a jail to me. Liberating from one brings the freedom from both. The result is the absolute awareness, the absolute unity and the absolute nothingness.

________________________
Oneness is a
no place ____________________________
There are so many
stories about the same story, so many truths about the same truth.
Finally what is all this about?
What is that word which needs so many words to
attempt unsuccessfully say it?
Can the stone talk stone. Can being talk being.
Saying, thinking or what ever else exist in the world of duality.
Oneness is a no place. A placeless which is a place of no one,
otherwise it is the place of one. Isn’t this the essence of what we
believe as God? Isn’t this the being?
Where and when human being can find and
experience this in his daily life? When the true love, the divine
one, the only one that merit to be called love comes, there will be
no duality. There will be no two that one talk about the other.
There will be absolute acceptance and surrender. The only two
moments that we can talk about are the only two instants, two
moments closest to the being, the one just before reaching and the
one after leaving it. The moment itself leaves no traces, no
memories. It’s like going to visit the beloved, the very moment of
still not seeing and finally seeing her and the moment of leaving
and still not leaving her. It’s like the sunset and the sunrise. The
time with beloved didn’t exist because there was no one to say what
it was like. It’s why there are so many words about it but no word
for it.
Look into my eyes and
tell me if you see her face
Look into my heart
and tell me if you don’t see hers
Who am I ? No more I
care, until I see Her again
Then I will be She if
She wants me again

I dream
the day
I stand
there
The
bird pause on me
Take me
as a tree
I dream
the day
I look
in your eyes
Read in
your heart
Love, I
have in mine
I dream
the day
We
dream all
The
same
I dream
the day
When I
open my eyes
I see I
didn't dream at all

Give me
your hand
Let's go where I am
Everything is the way it used to be
I
see nothing the way it is
Open your heart
Listen to mine
No need to give
Only to be
I
am the tree
Be the wind
Forgive the leaves
If you don't see me
The blue of the sea
The truth in your eyes
No where to go
Stay with me
