Gurus, sanghas, kulas
Koshas, yamas, tapas, malas
Shaktipat and weekend empowerments
Sutras, tantras, slokas
Mantras, chakras, siddhis,
Diksha and samadhi trance
Koshas, bandhas, kriyas
Twisted sweating bodies
On purple rubber mats
Temples adorned with
Endless strings
Of marigolds
Saffron clad devotees
Thick with pretense
And aloof spiritual pride
An eternity of chasing
Transcendent ideals
Ever beyond reach
Ten thousand lifetimes of striving
To attain
Luminous space
Native mind
Stuffed with clever assumptions
And glimmering dogmas
Original clarity obscured
By the thick fog
Of dharma
Phony smiles and contrived bliss
Can’t hide the ache
Of knowing your own lie
Failure follows effort
Like a shadow
Wherever it goes
All this…
When completion is inherent
In the way
Things already are.
Love it and miss you!
