Time for Self-Introspection

 

 

Many questions come
Addressed to ourselves:
How has my life been so far?
What have I done wrong?
What can I improve in the future?

So much dirt in my thoughts
Garbage in words and deeds
Pyramid top of a now and here
Time to take stock
Who I was, who I am

How many people have I hurt
Including myself?
In the hamster wheel of equal deeds
Bad habits?
Shame on myself

Every thought, every word, every action
Has a heavyweight
When they hurt
It’s banging against the walls
Of one’s own heart

The scale shows
Where we stand
Honesty and confession may help
To cleanse us from dirt
To become a better person…

Time to bring about the change in us…

Bound to the outer world

 
 

 
 

We think in forms
Are attached to the outside world
Concealed is the content
That lives inside

Which has no form…

Self-Introspection

 

 

If we don’t look at ourselves in the mirror
To find the original reflection of it
Then we cannot see us either
Do not know who we are
What we are
Where we come from
Where we have to go…

Then the purpose of life
Is covered by our ignorance…

Man know thyself…

Virus: Ego and Mind

 

 

Ego and mind of a man
Is like a virus
It needs a host
To multiply his power through:

Money, selfishness, pride, greed,
Attachment – packed in wishes

Detachment is the solution

Even from oneself
To be one…Self…

This virus is spreading around the world
May we all find a serum against it

Coronavirus: An appeal to Humanity

 

 

Let us all stand together
Overcoming differences through our heart
Whether rich or poor
No matter what colour we are
What religion we belong to
What country we come from

This virus affects us all
No one is spared
Spreads fear and terror everywhere
But it can unite us
Make us conscious: We are all one
Are all humans, a big family

This virus gives us the understanding
That nothing is certain
That everything changes
What is today is different tomorrow
But it can wake us up:
To treat each other as human beings

Let us conquer terror and fear
Walking in humanity and respect
Help each other, make sacrifices
Coming together from man to man
Anchoring love as the strongest force
And hold us from heart to heart

In the end, we all can come out as winners
When we have learned our lesson:
We all are human beings, no better, no worse
Just a big human family

Pure Hearts

 
 

 
 

Gravity of Love

 
 

 
 

Between Tears and Smiles

 
 

 
 

Inner Fight

 
 

 
 

Arrogance and Pride

 

 

If we believe
To have tamed our mind
That we smile at
Then it is our mind
That smiles in our face

Another mask
A mirror of our thoughts
Prisoners of our mind…

Be Good, Do Good, and Be One

 
 

 
 

When lies become fakes

 

 

Who speaks all the time of fakes
Has identified with the fake
Became a fake himself/herself
Creates fakes, is a fake

Solidary Lies

 

 

Belonging to a party
Should not be a free ticket
For joining a concert of lies

Not the lie from your mouth
Should speak, should rise
Just to show solidarity
Truth and warning conscience
Should be your driving force…

Turning with the Wind

 

 

How can you trust someone
Who only hides behind lies
With his mouth so full
Of exaggeration and understatement
That there is a lack of understanding

Or do people only believe those
Who make their loud voice heard?

Such ones always know everything better
They turn their head with the wind…

Forgotten what we are

 
 

 

Disembodied is our Home
There is some power in the body
That controls it
But we think
We are bodies
Are identified
With matter and dust
Buy dust and material
Through wishes, money
Matter to matter
Dust to dust
Purchased happiness
Accumulated power

Disembodied is our Home
As we are spirit and light
Conscious beings
Prisoners in the fog
Of mind and ego
With distracted attention
Have forgotten who we are
Lost our purpose of life
Are blind, outside and inside
Have eyes only for illusion
Are chess pieces on the battlefield
Of positive and negative forces

Are fighting against each other
And do not see the brotherhood
The light in every heart
The source of sunlight
Forgotten that we are one
Separated from light through darkness
May we become a lighthouse
For searchers of the truth
Out there on the dark sea
Showing the way to light with light

Consciousness, fire of right understanding
Torchbearers, igniting the light within the hearts…

Water of the Soul

Hidden in tears rests
As an expression of the soul
Feelings, emotions
In depths and heights
Living water
Transport of information

Contact from heart to heart
Sharing compassion
On invisible tracks
Speaking tears
Of happiness and suffering

Flow, effusion
Carrier of messages
Joyful and sad ones
From the mute mouth of the soul
Discharging touched life

Empty Promises

As long as we do not know ourselves
How can we keep promises…?
Promises against all odds?

Gulch between man and man

 

 

Where differences exist
People split themselves
Fought out in understanding
In grade and shade

Where man takes sides
Roads are forking
Towards individual directions
When the spirit splits

Politics here, sports there
Parties here, groups there
Separate in fighting
For dogmatic views

Teeth hold on to opinions, ideas
In the alliance of collective egos
With war-voices: only we!
What a human failure

Understanding is fragmented
Unity sacrificed
For own advantages
Man thereby divided

Differences need connections
Bridges that unite
Build unities
Love between human and human

Oneness of love and peace among people
A new horizon of understanding
That we all are one
In the One…

A cosmic symphony, divine notes…

Darkness cannot be overcome by wearing white clothes… quote by Kabir

 
 

 
 

An open bill

 
 

 
 

Man in his greed points at himself:
Me, me, me and mine, mine, mine
Has to pay the bill

Nature already presents it to him…

In search of mistakes

 
 

 
 

In the shadow of guilt

   
   

Sometimes the victim commits
In the shadow of guilt
Morally forbidden acts himself
To hide self-made mistakes…

Hope for a change

 

 

When we deeply regret our sins with our tears
It is Christ who washes them away

He provides us a new beginning
Gives us strength and courage

His biblical Word: resonates like an echo
“From now on sin no more…”

Old dresses are putt off
Replaced by clean clothes

The lie changes to the truth
The dirt gradually to cleanliness

A process of consciousness
Distinction between right and wrong

In everyday life, we should sieve:
Separating the bad from the good

How much dirt is there still left
That we do not see yet…?

Consciousness is:
To recognize oneself

To make us visible
What and how we really are

“Every saint has his past
And every sinner his future…”

Spreading violence

 

 

The more we deal with violence,
Through movies, games, media
The more it influences us…
Is passed on:
In thoughts, words, and deeds

A virus of our mind…

Food of our Senses

   

   

People are equipped with antennas
These are oriented to the outside
They connect to objects
Suction of information

We connect in seeing
In hearing and feeling
In tasting and touching
Ready to eat information

Millions of pieces of information flow
Want to be processed, digested
They land in the catch basin of our mind
Influence our thinking

Splitting, analysis takes place
Memories of good and bad
What is repeated, what is avoided
Data streams that move us

Senses control the mind
Garnishing it with information
The mind in turn controls us
Shackles us with habits and attachments

Do we have an antenna
That leads us inside?

Missing honesty

 

 

How much nonsense goes out into the world
Out of stupidity, ignorance
Acting and posing
Out of greed for power, money, reputation
To achieve advantages
By a selfish attitude
To be better than others
To instill arrogance
Overconfidence
Dripping vanity
Condemnation
Unfair usage of elbows

Let us see the good in people
Because bad things create bad things
While good things sow good things

Therefore, we have to be more honest with ourselves…

Presciousness of listening

 

 

An egostic ear
Can only hear
Listen to itself…

Ignorance in hurting people

 

 

Often we are not aware when we hurt someone
For we are so much busy with ourselves, not seeing
That our reaction has a hurting content
As a motto: “I come first…”

We are fast with prejudices
See things on the level of our ego
Too proud to admit when mistakes made
Leave the hurt one alone: “Not my business…”

There is fear to face the truth
That we were wrong, ego-oriented?
A chess-player cannot just see his own chess pieces
Needs to step into each other’s shoes

Only then we learn the “moves” of the other
Better to understand, better to react
Instead of adopting the position: “I do not care…”
So also no reactions – can hurt…

These thoughts packed in silence
Are like an arrow shot into the other’s heart…

Journey to become honest and pure

 

 

To be honest
Is a matter of consciousness
To know our own mistakes
A process – walking into the depth

It is easy to say: “I am honest”
How many things we have overseen
Have not considered as honesty, dishonesty
In our daily life?

Yes, I am honest according of what I know
About my present state of mind
Present knowledge of myself
But what about the ignorance of myself?

Then I have missed many things
To consider as honesty, dishonesty
So walking in ourselves
Is to discover, to know ourselves – more and more…

What I claimed yesterday as honesty
May be today under a broadened horizon
So we bear honesty on our shoulders
To get lighter and lighter from ourselves…

The more we find us
The more we lose us
Detached from the world and even ourselves
To become pure in our hearts…
