When effort is needed, effort will appear.  When effortlessness becomes essential, it will assert itself.  You need not push life about.  Just flow with it and give yourself completely to the task of the present moment… –Nisargadatta Maharaj

Exhale only love. —Rumi  .

***

Happy are those who know:Behind all words, the Unsayable stands;And from that source alone, the InfiniteCrosses over to gladness, and us -  Free of our bridgesBuilt with the stone of distinctions;So that always, within each delight,We gaze at what is purely single and joined.–Rainer Maria Rilke .

***

 In this uncontainable night, be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses, the meaning discovered there. And if the world has ceased to hear you, say to the silent earth: I flow. To the rushing water, speak: I am.  –Rainer Maria Rilke . 

***

Now is the time
Now is the time to know  
That all that you do is sacred.

Now, why not consider
A lasting truce with yourself and God?

Now is the time to understand
That all your ideas of right and wrong
Were just a child’s training wheels
To be laid aside
When you can finally live with veracity and love.

Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.

That this is the time
For you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything  
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is Sacred.


–Hafiz
