A cosmic boomerang, karmic law

 

 

Between my thoughts, deeds and words
Stands a mirror:
Object becomes subject
And subject turns into object

Whatever I do to others is done to me

Cause and effect
Action and reaction…

Touching feelings

Every thought, every word
Makes the strings of our feelings ring out

… in dissonance or in harmony…

Do not think evil of others – by Sant Kirpal Singh

 

An excerpt from the book: “Morning Talks” – by Sant Kirpal Singh

 

 

Once Akbar, who was a great Emperor of India, was told by his minister that thoughts were very potent and that great care should be taken in what we think of others. Akbar asked his minister how he knew this. The minister said, “All right, I will give you a concrete example. Let us go outside.” So both of them went outside and they saw one man coming towards them at a distance of a few furlongs. The minister said to the king, “Look here, just think something about this man in your mind and when he comes near, you might ask him what crossed his mind at that time. You are only to look and think.” The king thought in his mind that this man should be shot. The man approached the king and the king asked him, “When you saw my face, what thoughts crossed your mind?” The man said, “Emperor, excuse me, but I thought that I should beat you with my fists and break your head.” So thoughts are very potent. If you think evil of others, the other man will react. You should be careful how you speak to people. If you speak ill to another and say “You are a fool” and things like that, or if somebody calls you a name and you react in the same way, what is the result? There will be a flare-up. A man calls you once, twice and that results in a fight. This is by words, their very root is the thought. A man speaks out of the abundance of his heart. Whatever is lying there, those things take the form of words, then words lead to fighting. So don’t hurt the feelings of others, in thought, word or deed.

Input of feelings

We project values and feelings
In words and thoughts
In human encounters
They draw us into the maelstrom
Of right and wrong
Of happiness and joy
As shadows of ourselves
Evaluate and judge
To reflect feelings, emotions
Moving ego and mind
Like waves of happiness and pain
As a living echo…

Path of the light

Just as the rays of the sun have their source in the sun
So darkness has its source in human abysses

Good and evil rest in us equally
Daily we commute on this bridge

Dark thoughts come with hate
Light thoughts with love

Our life is a rollercoaster
Of shadow and light

We live in the jungle
Of actions and reactions

Are a plaything of our own choices
Which are cast like a mirror image

When following the light
We are in the light

The darkness does not know…

Thoughtless silence

Thoughts circle,
Sharing with each other
Follow inner vibrations
Feed each other
Seek connections
Entertain the mind
Nonstop

Only when thoughts fall silent
Do we find ourselves
The off switch is called: silence
The journey within…

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…

Duality: Looking into the abyss of things

A rift opens up
Between time and space
Life and death

Everything breaks in two
Into two halves
Our mind is this wedge

Breaks in an instant
Words and thoughts
Perceives everything split

We look into the abyss
Of being and becoming
Break it into pieces

As fragments

However, life is unbreakable…

Plaything of the mighty ocean

We are the waves of past deeds and thoughts
Waves that meet the shore of time
Memories of today, yesterday and tomorrow
In a cosmic cycle…

Eternal circle

 

 

Thoughts are like giving and taking
Coming and going
As life is
Creeping up
Vibrate in the silence
Pass the message
From world to world
Walk among stars
Conquer universes
Are carriers
Of information
Flying through
Space and time
Get lost to find
Themselves again
In the eternal cycle

False values

 

 

Is it a good wine?
A good meal?
A good sports game?
A handsome man?
A beautiful woman?
Is it wealth?
A house and many children?
Worldly pleasures?
Travelling around the world?
Gaining advantages?
To fulfil wishes?
Is it book knowledge?

No, all that is not the purpose
The purpose of life
Which is only passed on
To our children
Only repeated constantly

We play a game with God:
Want to have the world and God
However, to have both is not possible
The world is just a market of endless wishes

What is the purpose of life?
Re-entry into our eternal home
But with filth no one can enter
A holy house

We must learn
To live in unity
For the drop
Is not separate from the ocean

We must learn
To serve one another

We must learn
To realise
That we are all one
In the house of God

To be aware
Of our thoughts and actions
Not to hurt anyone
Living in unity

Living for others
Is living for God
So let us no longer live
For our little ego

Then every action
Becomes His action
Without pride in a good deed
Then we live in harmony

With all creation…

Shadows of the soul

sdr

 Thoughts and feelings
Are only symptoms
Expression of the intellect
Of the mind and the ego

The soul is free
From such symptoms…

Animalistic roots in us

 

 

We bear the seeds
Of good and evil in us
Rooted feelings
Eruptions, outbreaks
In all colours
Spectrum from anger to joy
Of happiness and sadness
Patterns of love and hate
In an alternating bath

Living blood
Pulsating in the roots
Intertwined arteries
Of fluctuating feelings
Thoughts that take shape
Reaction, perception of senses
Principle of cause and effect
Waves crashing down on us
Turning ourselves into waves

Who wins this game
Wins the life
Becomes a real human being…

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…

Learnt knowledge versus experienced knowledge

 


 

How many things do we learn, copy
Without thinking, checking

We are loaded like a donkey
With knowledge that is not our knowledge

The more we follow this automatic process
The more we live a life that is not our life

Thousands of books cannot give us
What own experiences provide

In adopted outside knowledge there we meet death
While experienced knowledge fills us with life

However, sometimes we need to be “dead”
To strand at the shore of life…

Silent prayer

 

 

Mouth is quick
But heart not able
To follow
To put tongue
In hand

Oh my Creator
Let my thoughts be water
And words be sun
To be flower of life
In Your garden

Not a reflection
From a reflection
But living truth
True life

Let my mouth be silent
And voices rinse from heart
That all flows along
Your will, Your love…

Thoughts in isolated times

 

 

In times of isolation
We are aware:
Friends are important
Just as relatives and men

People around us
Infecting our hearts
With feelings range
From day to night

They give us light
Even in darkness
Are near in our lives
Present in reality

In isolation, only memories remain
Life that withdrew in the past
To make us think:
We all need each other

How precious every person is
To give us life at our side
To make our presence alive
With his or her presence…

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…

Leaving empty-handed

 

 

There are many who cling to their power
Who do not want to make room for others
Power is also taken away from them
Whether they like it or not
When death knocks at their door

However, there is justice for everyone:
The mirror of our actions, thoughts and words
Is already waiting for us…

We sow the wind and reap the storm…

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…
