"You ask me why I dwell in the green mountain;
I smile and make no reply for my heart is free of care.
As the peach-blossom flows down stream
and is gone into the unknown,
I have a world apart that is not among men."

- Li Po

And For No Reason
And
For no reason
I start skipping like a child.

And
For no reason
I turn into a leaf
That is carried so high
I kiss the sun's mouth
And dissolve.

And
For no reason
A thousand birds
Choose my head for a conference table,
Start passing their
Cups of wine
And their wild songbooks all around.

And
For every reason in existence
I begin to eternally,
To eternally laugh and love!

When I turn into a leaf
And start dancing,
I run to kiss our beautiful Friend
And I dissolve in the Truth
That I Am.

Vanished the veils of light and shade,
Lifted every vapor of sorrow,
Sailed away all dawns of fleeting joy,
Gone the dim sensory mirage.
Love, hate, health, disease, life, death,
Perished these false shadows on the screen of duality.
By magic wand of intuition deep
Past, future, no more for me,
But ever-present, all-flowing I, I, everywhere.
Planets, stars, stardust, earth,
Thoughts of all beings, past, present, to come,
Every blade of grass, myself, mankind,
Each particle of universal dust,
I swallowed, transmuted all
Into a vast ocean of my own one Being!
Smoldering joy, oft-puffed by meditation
Burst into immortal flames of bliss,
Consumed my tears, my frame, my all.
Thou art I, I am Thou, Knowing, Knower, Known, as One!
Tranquilled thrill, eternally living, ever-new peace!
Enjoyable beyond imagination of expectancy, Samadhi bliss!

Not an unconscious state
Or mental chloroform without willful return,
Samadhi but extends my conscious realm
Beyond limits of the mortal frame to farthest
boundary of eternity where I, the Cosmic Sea,
Watch the little ego floating in Me.
Mobile murmurs of atoms are heard,
Flowing seas change into vapors of nebulae!
Aum blows upon vapors, opening wondrously their veils,
Oceans stand revealed, shining electrons!

Till, at last sound of the cosmic drum,
Gone forever fitful, flickering shadows of mortal memory.
Vanish the grosser lights into eternal rays
Of all-pervading bliss.
Eternity and I, one united ray.
From joy I came, for joy I lived, in sacred joy I melt.
Spotless is my mental sky, below, ahead, and high above.
A tiny bubble of laughter I, Become the Sea of Mirth Itself.
I, in everything, enter the Great Myself.
