Song of Lalan

As the man and woman in me
unites in love,
The brilliant beauty
Balanced on the two petalled lotus
Within me
Dazzles my eyes.
The rays
Outshine the moon
and the jewels.
Glowing on the hoods of snakes.


My skin and bone,
are turned to gold.
I am the reservoir of love
alive on the waves.
A single drop of water ,
has grown into a sea......
Unnavigable.


Lalan

From Ashtavakra Gita 13:1

Even if you have nothing,
it is hard to find that contentment...
which comes from renunciation.

I accept nothing,
I reject nothing,
And I am happy.

The wealthy poor

Mother Teresa once heard of a starving widow in a slum in Kolkata.
She took a plate of rice and curry and went to visit her.
Mother entered the little hut sat on the floor, and placed the food before the woman.
The widow uncovered the packet and saw what it was. She took the plate and went out.
When she returned Mother asked her where she had gone? "Just across the road.", she replied,"is a friend who has also not eaten for three days. I went to give her some of the food you brought."
THE POOR WOMEN FELT SHE HAD PLENTY AND COULD SHARE.
It is the state of our mind that decides whether we live in ABUNDANCE OR IN SCARCITY.

It is also seen generally that those who donot have or have scarce are the ones who are ready to share in greater abundance than the one who has in abundance.

The poor wealthy

John .D.Rockfeller made his first million dollars by the age of 33.He once sent a load of grain worth 40,000 dollars by ship.he did not insure his cargo.he felt that it was a waste....150 dollars .
A few days later he heard of a giant storm somewhere on the route of his ship.
Rockfeller could not sleep the entire night,worrying about his cargo.
Early next morning ,he sent his assistant to try and buy insurance,if it was not already too late.

Afew hours later the assistant returned,happy with proper insurance.But
he found Rockfeller more sick than ever.
A telegram had just arrived with the news that his ship had reached
safe and sound.Rockfeller was veru sad because he had spent 150 dollers "unnecessarily".
