Our Body Is The Bodhi-tree, And Our Mind A Mirror Bright. Carefully Quotes

Our body is the Bodhi-tree,
And our mind a mirror bright.
Carefully we wipe them hour by hour,
And let no dust alight.

There is no Bodhi-tree,
Nor stand of a mirror bright.
Since all is void,
Where can the dust alight?

Consciousness is the force that creates the divine form
and then inhabits it.
It is the creator, the actor, and the outcome.
It is the force that weaves the whole process together..

Madness in art is Creation.
Madness in poetry is Wisdom.
Madness in the search for God
is the highest form of Worship.

aawaaz aisi ki rooh tak jaaye
nigaah aisi ki khud shanasi ho jaaye
khoobi aisi ki fūrinkazan kho jaaye
karun kaise bayaan jalwa
shakhsiyat aisi ki naa-beyaan hi reh jaaye..

Details:
khud shanasi - self realisation
fūrinkazan - Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain - as swift as wind, as silent as forest, as fierce as fire, as unshakeable as mountain

The quieter you become,
the more you can hear.

ਔਖੀ ਰਮਜ਼ ਫ਼ਕੀਰੀ ਵਾਲੀ
ਚੜ ਸੂਲੀ ਤੇ ਬਹਿਣਾ
ਦਰ - ਦਰ ਤੇ ਟੁਕੜੇ ਮੰਗਣੇ
ਮਾਈਏ ਭੈਣੇ ਕਹਿਣਾ ..

Aukhi ramaz fakeeri waali
char sooli te behna
dar-dar te tukde mangne
maaiye bhene kehna ..

Details:
It is difficult to acknowledge, understand and follow vast hidden treasures of knowledge in Guru's teachings. One has to keep aside and sacrifice own intellect, experience, skill, smartness and ego. It is not everybody's cup of tea to beg from door to door calling upon mothers and sisters for alms like a fakir does.

Let it flow, let it pass through you
let yourself go with it
let there be it..
