The Way To Peace

Take refuge in your breath,
Let go of the mind and rest in the breath.
Like the very dearest of friends,
Your breath has accompanied you
through all the pains, sorrows and joys of your life.

Take refuge in your breath,
With loving attention follow its every movement,
Unravel the mystery of where the breath finds repose.

Listen with rapt attention to your dear friend,
The breath has been speaking to you since you were born,
Discover the mantra it whispers to you continuously,
Affirming the infinitude of your Being.
HAMSA is the ground on which this mad dance
of existence pounds on...
Unravel the mystery of where mantra arises,
and where it dissolves.

Abide in Stillness –
- the refuge of the breath,
- the source of mantra,
- the womb of all,
- where form and emptiness embrace,
- where Truth alone is revealed,
- where Love dissolves the illusion of differences.

 The Divine Within
 

water lilies Kundalini is the yogic term for our innate power of the Infinite to reveal itself pervading everyone and everything. It is Kundalini who creates the universe and knows Its Self as Creator.
Kundalini has been called “the face of God.” Just as we recognize someone by his or her face we recognize the Divine by Its power of Consciousness, Kundalini. It is Kundalini that clothes the formless in form, that gives the Absolute a face to adore, a presence to inspire, traditions to revere and a body of wisdom to serve and guide. She is the esoteric goal of all yogas, the awakened mind of the thatagatas and the transcendent vision of saints and sages. By knowing Her, all is known and life becomes suffused with ananda - sublime joy. The source of that joy is our very own Self, forever present, nearer than our breath, waiting in Stillness to be revealed. Drown the ordinary ego-mind in Stillness if you truly want to know the Knower.
