The ripple

Tuesday 27 July 2004.
 

Humble offering to our Lord, the Father:
 
O Lord of the Snow, we bow to Thee,
Thine is the Dance,
Thine is the Bliss,
Thine is the Silence,
Thine is the Ripple of Love
Residing in the Heart of our Mother.
 

The Ripple

 
O Mother, they say the road to immortality is difficult
Like walking on a blade suspended over an enormous fire,
They say the path to liberation is narrow like a hair
And very few among the few have reached the end.
But all I could see before my eyes of a little child
Was You, my beautiful Mother, resplendent on Your lotus throne
With arms spread wide towards me and Thy love reaching my heart
And all I could do was run with all my strength to Your motherly breast.
 
The wink of an eye is how long my journey lasted
And I found myself enveloped in the warmth of Thy arms
Completely protected and immersed in the eternal ripple of Thy love.
 
As soon as you gave me birth, O Mother, You took me on Thy gracious lap
And showed me the world of multiplicity and forms.
I first saw the ripple in the dance of Thy hands,
In the jingling of Thy bracelets full of wonder,
In the glow of Thy smile and in the melodious sound of Thy voice.
I saw it in the love between the Mother and the Child
Between the Father and the Mother, between the Sky and the Earth.
I saw it in the water of the rivers
Slowly moving in bliss as they unite with the great ocean,
In the deep valleys and high mountains
As they thrill when they are touched by the delicate clouds,
I saw it in the light of the sun embracing the earth
And in the tender flowers opening up to receive it,
In the blades of grass being caressed by the wind
And in the drops of rain and in the snow that falls with silent grace,
I saw it in the mother bird feeding her little ones
And in the Mother Earth as She is whispering Her words of love to us.
I saw it in the waves of bliss flowing over the brain
When Thy gracious Feet touch the calyx of our thousand-petalled lotus,
I saw it in the peace and harmony deep in my heart and in the Cosmos
And in the joyful dance of my Holy Mother Kundalini within me.
 
Then, with a wave of Thy hand I saw it all dissolving in an Ocean
And then the Ocean merged into the Ripple of Thy Love.
I saw that pure Ripple emerging from Thy boundless Heart
As it pervaded all created and non-created Universes,
And flooded them with Thy Unending Love.
 
O Mother, everything is a ripple,
A ripple of Thy Love touching the shore,
Turning into little-little bubbles of joy
That spring in the hearts of Your little children
And then again come back to reunite with You.
