Poem of Gratitude to Spirit - Rabindranath Tagore You have made me endless, such is your pleasure. This frail vessel you empty again and again, and fill it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed you have carried over hills and dales and have breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of your hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Your infinite gifts come to me only on these small hands of mine. Ages pass and still you pour and still there is room to fill.

Breathing in God comes to me Pausing the breath, God stays with me. Breathing out, I go to God Pausing the breath, I surrender to God
This is a gathering of lovers, in this gathering there is no high no low No smart no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no special schooling required There is no master, no disciple, this gathering is more like a drunken party Full of tricksters fools madmen and madwomen. This is a gathering of lovers - Rumi

Poem of Commitment to Spirit - Rabindranath Tagore Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing that your living touch is upon all my limbs. I shall ever try to keep all untruths out of my thoughts, knowing that you are that Truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind. I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my love in flower, knowing that you have your seat in the inmost shrine of my heart. And it shall be my endeavor to reveal you in my actions, knowing it is your power that gives me strength to act.
To get a human body is a rare thing, make full use of it. There are four million kinds of lives which a soul can gather. After that, one gets a chance to be human, to get a human body. Therefore one should not waste this chance. Every second in a human life is very valuable. If you don t value this, then you will have nothing in hand and you will weep in the end. Because you are human, God has given you the power to think and decide what is good and bad. Therefore you can the best possible kind of action. You should never consider yourself weak or a fallen creature. Whatever may have happened up to now may be because you didn t know, but now be careful. After getting a human body, if you don t reach God, then you have sold a diamond at the price of spinach. ~ Swami Brahmananda Saraswati (Guru to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi)
