Satyananda's Poetry

Awakening

I saw your face
and I realized
with every fibre of my being:
This is IT, this is the ONE!
There is nothing else,
nothing more
to understand
or to be done.

This love takes everything,
leaves no dust.

I never stopped looking.
I never gave up.
So one day it happened
in a moment of innocence:
All opened,
all was new,
and I was amazed.
Just THAT – resting in itself.

This love takes everything,
leaves no dust.

This Beauty,
this indescribable love,
that I found within myself,
which is me beyond any doubt,
is the same
as your face.
Only ONE,
only the Beloved.

This love takes everything,
leaves no dust.

All Grace!
Leaving me without words,
without desires,
without moving.
This love is all there is.
It is all me.
The ONE –
without a second.

This love takes everything,
leaves no dust.

It all opened
and I am sitting here
overwhelmed by Grace,
tears running from my eyes.
And yet –
nothing is moving.
All is truly alive,
all in THAT.

This love takes everything,
leaves no dust.
