“Poem of lovers” - (a spontaneous poem inspired by a song by Colour Coding- called perfect)
If I told you that you were perfect, would you believe me?
If I told you that I saw the stars in your eyes, would you see it?
If I told you I had to leave this world, would you follow me into the next?
If I told you anything, would you trust in it?
If I told you I choose happiness, would you try to stop me?
If I told you I can’t do this, would you still love me?
“You have to become more interested in the silent background than in the foreground, the phenomena: thoughts, emotions, sounds, smells, etc. Most people are focused on the foreground and what their five senses bring them, but the Self is discovered in the background. The Self is the source from which the phenomena spring and the ground in which this display of phenomena is happening, from the subtlest feelings and experiences to the grossest matter. When you rest in this background, you can taste your Self. You just give yourself to it.”
