FOUR TRUTHS: FOUR HAIKU   Dukka - Strife is Truth - Birth, aging, death, fleeting mind, Sensual acts are strife   Samudaya - Cause - Desires are root cause of strife - Those arise in mind   Nirodha - Strife's end - Hone non-passion, detachment To cease desiring   Marga - Noble Path Hone right view, intent, speech, acts, Striving, focus, thoughts     FOUR TRUTHS: FOUR QUATRAINS   Born, grow old, then fade away, Mind like clouds, drifts through the day. Pleasures fade, a weary chase, This is strife, in time and space.   Seeds of want, in mind they grow, Thirst and yearning, make us go. These desires, they start the pain, Strife's deep root, again and again.   Still the wanting, let it cease, Find the calm, find inner peace. Let go clinging, let it be, Strife can end, and you are free.   See things true, and aim to do, Speak and live, in ways that's new.

  SO SPAKE ASHTAVAKRA   Fear arises when when you take changing to be yourself. What  can change is never secure.Know yourself as 'the unchanging' and fear fear looses its ground. INSPIRED POEM When reaching for a self that's not your own, Or seeking ways to bend another's will, A trembling fear, a seed of doubt is sown, In becoming your heart grows strangely un-still. But let yourself be simply, truly you, The raw, original, unvarnished soul. Be as you were, before the world broke through, And made demands that took away your whole. Unchanging, and of love's unending kind, No conditions to your spirit tied. Then all the fears that once did haunt your mind, The dualities, the doubts, will step aside. For in this truth, this being pure and free, No room for any anxious dread can be.

So Spake Ashtavakra You are not here to achieve, but to witness; not to become, but to realize  Inspired Poem We are not here to achieve gains and fame, N or chase the fleeting shadows of the mind, But to witness life’s shifting, quiet frame, And leave the restless, hungry ego blind. To be is all, not to become the shade ,Of who we thought we had to be before, To sense illusions and falsehoods that fade, As spirit opens up a timeless door .To realize true self within the breath ,Beyond the masks the weary world has spun, To sense pure endowed awareness, defying death, And know that we are all already one .The quiet heart observes the passing show ,In simply being, we begin to know.

  DANCE: HAIKU Body breathes with grace, Spirit finds its truest voice, Soul in joyful flow. Devotion in step, Heartbeat joins the ancient song, Mind at peace within. Movements are your prayer, Time and space begin to melt, Pure spirit takes flight. Cosmic rhythm calls, Embrace the pulse, become one, Dance, and be reborn.
