Satyananda's Poetry

Everything is possible

I said ”Everything is possible”.
You are free, just as you are.
No need to do anything,
life takes care of itself.

You heard it and you shook your head,
Life is hard you said, and there are so many things I got to do.
Don’t disturb me with your nonsense,
You don’t know my situation.

Well I said, it seems like you’re suffering.
You need it, hang on to it, and therefore it is real.
You don’t want to be disturbed,
by strange people like me.

Guys like you don’t know
what the real life is about.
Just fooling around on your pink cloud
and giving stupid advices that no one needs.

Well I said, seems like I keep irritating you.
Do you know why? Why am I disturbing you?
Has it something to do with yourself
or is it all my fault?

Shut up and let me focus on my life!
I don’t have time with you,
There are important things that need to be done.
I have to keep up, not to be lazy like you.

So I said, the faster you run the less you know.
The more you scream the less you hear.
The further you go the more you get lost.
It takes time and effort to avoid who you are.

Do you really mean that by doing nothing, knowing nothing,
keeping silent and going nowhere,
not caring about time and struggle -
I will know who I am?

Yes I said, just by being here with no hope
No expectations, not even longing.
Empty hands, empty mind.
Waiting in silence for nothing, Grace happens.

This is opposite of all I have learnt,
No one has ever put it that way.
I see all my friends struggling,
chasing time not to miss what is essential.

I said, I can only talk from my own experience.
I had enough of the race.
The pain of searching and trying to improve myself
made me stop, let go, surrender, and be available for life itself.

Ok, sounds like too much. What will be left,
if I follow your advice?
Will I go insane - loose my friends and my job?
What would others think of me?

I said, nothing will be left, you will loose everything you knew.
And yet you realize that you are everything.
Nothing has ever been lost, you have always been here, you just did not know.
You discover you are love itself and you need no one’s approval.

So if I don’t miss anything, if I experience myself as complete,
what is there to bother about?
If I don’t need other people to love me,
if I can accept myself and live with myself just as I am, wow!

Yes I said, it is like that, this very moment.
And you can do nothing about it.
Stop, trust, follow your heart, and life will take care of the rest.
When you go, and disappear as a separate person:

Everything is possible!
