Deceived and fooled

 

You led me to the market of the world
Bazaar of trade and desires
You showed me treasures
Beauties, attractions

No breath without show
Attention without direction
I got stuck in my senses
Deceived by the splendour of the world

You came with promises
To find everlasting happiness
But your happiness is bound
At the post of time

Everything passes like sand blown away
And you still say:
This is my home, my wealth of the world
Yes, it is your house, built on sand

You pretend: eternal happiness
Eternal home that falls apart in your hands
Breaks to empty illusions
You deceive, seduce, kidnap

The truth is not outside
It is within me
That you trample all over
With lies besmeared

You live for my death
Though you get all the strength from me
You go the way out
And not the way in

You are my constant companion
Shadow of my light
You control, you direct
Set directions

Time to change roles
Since you are a bad master
But a good servant
So follow me, my mind…

Sunshine: outside and inside – quote by Sant Kirpal Singh

Separation and unity

 

When looking with the eyes of our mind
We see things from far united
If we look closer
All divides more and more
The deeper we look:
Outside: Separation

But when we look closer
With our spiritual eyes
All unites more and more
The deeper we look:
Inside: Oneness, Unity

Sound of silence

When the outer voice breaks down
And no-one can hear your thoughts
Then listen to your heart
Voice of a nightingale
Sound current of love
Born in your heart
Arising from inner silence
Melody of your soul

Inside and outside

 

The outer world
Is a reflection
Of the inner world…

Outside Shining – Inside Fouling

 

 

How many angles and corners are there in us
Where chaos and disorder reign
Where dirt accumulates
Dust is setting down?

How many impurities are in us
Which we have neglected
Falling into oblivion
Where no external soap helps?

On the outside nice and clean
Well-groomed appearance among witnesses
Inside without hygiene
There’ s no one watching

But inner dirt
Moves motives on the outside
Hidden, concealed
Determines our thoughts, actions.

Our internal residence
Like a mirror:
What is inside is outside
What is outside is inside

We should be dust and germ-free
That the inner dirt
Does not become external dirt
With the soap of innocence and honesty

We cannot hide from ourselves nor from God…

Outside and Inside

It does not matter
How you are from outside
What matters is
How you are from inside
Then outside matters too

DidiArtist, 22.01.2022

No hiding

 

 

Closing our eyes to problems
Does not make them disappear…

DidiArtist, 22.05.2021

 
 

Outside and Inside

 

 

The mind directs the attention outwardly
The soul inwardly
Unfortunately the mind is so strong
That we look for truth and love only on the outside….

DidiArtist, 18.04.2021

 
 

Impotent Consciousness

We think, feel corporeally
The heart of the body beats
But not of the soul

We see, hear corporeally
Attached to the forms
Bound to external noise

We are in the grip of the senses
With impotent consciousness
Playing the game of the world

Seeking truth on the outside
However, it is already there – within…

No true life

 

 

On the outside we live
Yet inside we are dead…

DidiArtist, 15.06.2021

 
 

In search of oneself

 

 

We feel the other
Because we want to feel ourselves
Yet we fail
Touch only the outside…

DidiArtist, 27.04.2021

 
 

Relativity in Oneness

 

 

The truth has
A thousand eyes
On the Outside
And one real One Inside…

The eye of the soul…

A bath in laughing and crying

 

 

We take a bath in laughing
And in weeping tears
Up the stairs, down the stairs
Through the gates of time
Seeking happiness
In infinity, in portions
Seeking it only outside
Unfortunately have forgotten
The secret door inside…

DidiArtist, 03.04.2021

 
 

Eternity, transitoriness

 

 

The body is transitory
Like a wave in time
Which changes constantly

The power that dwells within
Is mysterious silence, sound
Light and eternity

Outside everything changes
Inside rests the eternal now
Timeless ocean, golden love…

DidiArtist, 08.03.2020

 

In the labyrinth of body and mind

Intertwined inside and outside
Corridor of infinite paths
My soul on the raft of search
Where no walls outside and inside

Where outside and inside stops
To exist as an appearance
Where a gate opens inside
Leaving the labyrinth of deception

Where the exit calls:
One in the One – Oneness
Tap on the door
And it will be opened onto you…

DidiArtist, 20.09.2020

Knowledge: outside and inside

The outer knowledge
Shallow water
Easily gets dirty
However, the inner knowledge
Is flowing water
Pure, clear and fresh
In deep waters…

Book-reading is food for the mind
Spiritual reception is food for the soul…

The inner book is written
By one’s own life…

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

 
 

 
 

Foolish man

 

 

For short “blissful moments”
Man sacrifices his whole life

But eternal happiness
Does not lie in external things
In fulfilled wishes
Chased pleasures

It lies hidden inside in us
It is time to excavate this treasure…

Are we aware that we stand
In our own way as a hinderance…?

Inside – Outside

 
 

 

Outside is separation
Inside Oneness…

Less and More

 

 

Money gets less and less
The more we spend
Unlike love: The more we spread it
The more it increases…

DidiArtist, 07.03.2019

 
 

Disturbed waters

 

 

As long as our mind is not still
We cannot see our own face
In the water of life

Disturbed waters do not reflect…

Watcher of life

 

 

Outside all is changing
Whirls of passing times
Bubbles of coming and going
Morphing moments

Inside all seems the same
Carries my being along the time
Knowing to know
It is me, center of my Self

May be a bit wiser
Through walking experiences
Fragrance of knowledge
That clings to my Self

While the world turns
Faster and faster
A carousel of changing moments
Infuses its magic

My Self in the eye
Of Noting and All
Surrounded by a storm
Of a kaleidoscopic illusion…

DidiArtist, 04.11.2018

 

Outside and inside

 

Everything what is outside
Is inside
But not everything what is inside
Is outside…

DidiArtist 02.06.2017

 

Outside and inside

 

 

Outside there is separation
Inside Oneness…

DidiArtist, 03.09.2018

 

Mind outside – Soul inside

 

 

The soul is a silent observer
While our mind fishes in outward appearances
Turning its attention outwardly

When the mind turns inwardly
It shuts itself off
And the soul shows up…

DidiArtist, 22.06.2019

 
 

Inside Out

 

 

The water of life
Is not boiled outside
But inside…
