Heart of Lotus

A conversation that I had with DR made me realize that the only people who have the ability to make you cry are the ones who can really make you smile, not just smile on the exterior, but make your heart swell, swell like a balloon filled with air, flying high.

Ms Gigi, my amazing mentor, had sent me a poem nearly two years back. It was a time when I was questioning myself (I do that quite a lot). She did not judge me or try to guide me through my situation. She just sent me a beautiful poem from'Heart of a Lotus' by Swami Kripalu. I read it every time my heart is heavy. I would like to share it with all of you. May be it will help you when life is pressing you down, like really really down.

"My beloved child,
Break your heart no longer.
Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart.
You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your vitality.
The time has come. Your time to live, to celebrate.
And to see the goodness that you are.
You my child are divine. You are pure.
You are sublimely free.
You are God in disguise and you are always perfectly safe.
Do not fight the dark, just turn on the light.
Let go and Breathe in to the goodness that you are".
