A little power makes pride Not nice One out of a million have siddhis Creating stumbling blocks Lengthening vastly the spiritual path Egotistical greed creeps in From intentional cultivation of powers Swaying away from the Path Miracles by the Buddha,Christ and other sages Had a purpose,were spontaneous Never performed with selfish motives Never to create… [Read more…]

I could feel the black starting to… [Read more…]

Can you just sit there perfectly content with something you consider good and pure and just hug someone you love and say, “I love you too” with no ulterior or preconceived notions of expectation and conditions for love.  If you can, never forget what made you hurt and made you kind.

On my deathbed I lay, The sculptor of my life, I had stood in the way of nature, To pump up my pile. My attitudes I grew, Looting from day to day, My mantra was ‘Om Money’, Stabbing everyone in my way.
