Treatise on Lao-Tzu


47

Health is the possession of nature
Contentment being a confidence in non-being
For all that can live without form
Is the greatest joy of self-evident spirit!

Being deeply loved by someone
Gives you strength, while loving someone
Deeply gives you courage, therefore
Be it said that you loved with all your kindness!

Possessing fully your inner-nature
Finding peace in all that is transient
Your kindness in words creates confidence
Your kindness in thoughts creates profoundness

Your kindness in cherishing creates love in others
Be it said that you were the silent source
Of strength for others, fully and simply yourself
Without any need to compete or compare

Worthy of the respect of all others
A simple person, a patient man, a compassionate woman.

Treatise on Sri Aurobindo


46

Hidden in nature is secret God
Inherent in humanity, is a universal being
Children of the future, descendent divinity
Whatever we are now, is just a step –

Spirituality is embedded in our brains
The creative word burns from our soul
To do good in an ordered galaxy
So what is the method of the emergence

Of our own divinity, our higher evolution?
Each of us must work to this aim
That a superman may emerge
Out from our animal ignorance

How to approach the infinite from
A standpoint of freedom and unity
When the world we live in appears
Against the manifestation of a new world

Until we arrive at the solution, we must
Learn to live within, not be shaken by outward
Uncertainty, foolishness, corruption, chaos
True love or knowledge comes from purity and silence.

Treatise on Eckhart Tolle


45

The power of now means to be grateful
For always this moment, aware
Of the design of the universe around you
You are what you were meant

To be, how could it be any other way –
Watching energy move around you
You become one with life
It’s an exchange of change in time-space

The way we transcend, bridge, progress
Until being at ease grows natural
Once we never thought it would be
We restrict ourselves or learn to let go

There is no other way, learning to
Find a foundation for abandoning
Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity
It’s essential no matter what to sometimes

Learn to forget the self, whether it be
Through art, or in service to beloved ones
The power of now means not to let
Small things disturb you, problems are

Where you look for problems to be,
And bliss is the place that has learned
To see herself like a vision of gold
It doesn’t matter who comes, or who goes
When we amount to all about the same force.
