Spirituality Poems
Little Furnace
by Brenda Hillman
—Once more the poem woke me up,
the dark poem. I was ready for it;
he was sleeping,
and across the cabin, the small furnace
lit and re-lit itself—the flame a yellow
"tongue" again, the metal benignly
hard again;
and a thousand insects outside called

Soul
by airatmaninravi AiR
What is the Soul, have you ever thought?
Or is it a mystery in which you are caught?
We all have a Soul, we seem to know
Let's realize the truth before it is time to go
It is the Soul that makes me live
But, is it the one that makes me forgive?
What is the function of the Soul?
What does it do to make me whole?

तू
by Sumit Maurya
तेरी सांसों से ही तो मेरा वजूद है
वर्ना मै बांसुरी किस काम की
सिर्फ एक लकड़ी ही तो हूं
पड़े पड़े सड़ जाऊंगी।
होठों से जो छू कर
मुझे जिंदा तू करता है
इतना एहसान भी करदे
के ज़हन ए दुनिया में बसा दे मुझको।
एक नाम दे दे मुझे
जो लोगों को समझ आ जाए

To Live in the Mercy of God
by Denise Levertov
To lie back under the tallest
oldest trees. How far the stems
rise, rise
before ribs of shelter
open!
To live in the mercy of God. The complete
sentence too adequate, has no give.
Awe, not comfort. Stone, elbows of
stony wood beneath lenient

Prema Yoga
by airatmaninravi AiR
What is Prema Yoga?
How can Love unite us with God?
How can Love for the Beloved
Make us one with the Lord?
Love is a powerful emotion
It can take us to any length
For Love, kings even gave up their throne
Love has so much strength

Give before you are gone
by airatmaninravi AiR
Give, before you are gone, for you are sure going to go.
This world is nothing more than a drama, a show.
Give, for you don't know when the death whistle will blow!
Nothing is ours, did we bring anything with us?
We will leave everything behind, then why all the fuss?
Isn't it better that we give away our surplus?
This world is not real, it is a Cosmic Illusion.
Man is a fool, he gets caught in his possession,

The 10 Commandments of Detached Attachment
by airatmaninravi AiR
'How I wish I was free from attachments’
So often we hear people cry
To possessions and people, they cling to everything
And are miserable till they die
Nothing is ours, this truth don't we know?
We come with nothing and with nothing we go
Still out of ignorance we get attached
We foolishly think it is real, not a show
If we want to be happy, we must learn to let go

God is Not God, God is SIP — Supreme Immortal Power
by airatmaninravi AiR
Do you love God, do you seek God, do you pray every day?
Do you have any clue, what to your Lord you say?
Where is God, do you know? Where does He live?
Does He live far away, His address can you give?
Is your Lord, God or is my God the Lord?
Are there many Gods or is there one, Almighty Lord?
So many religions in this world, which is the best?

Enlightenment…the Truth and the Myth
by airatmaninravi AiR
We human beings are seeking Enlightenment
But we live and die in the dark
The myth makes us scared of a lizard
Instead of fearing the shark
