Living in the heart
“As you live deeper in the heart,
the mirror gets clearer and cleaner” ~ Rumi
what does it mean to live in the heart
the centre wherefrom soft stirrings of love arise
our hand goes there automatically when we say, ‘I am’
‘tis where we feel the anguish of sorrow and the joy of surprise
spontaneous effervescence of love is free from fetters of mind
magical radiance of love dissolves illusion of separation
beholding God’s presence within all sentient beings
entwines our consciousness with His creation
we are all born as such, love and light replete
then ego manifests, a cloud of dust, veiling our soul
over time we begin to believe we are only this organic form
becoming self-serving, selfish, lustful, heart blackened like coal
the journey from head to heart is then but our journey back home
cleansing mirror of our heart, we reconnect with the source
discarding conditioned belief, letting go of identity
we reclaim inner light without use of force
