Readings

This poem is from Gifts with No Giver, a love affair with truth, Poems by Nirmala.

As you can see and hear in this gem … Nirmala, reminds us of  That which is Always here … just like Rumi, Kabir, Hafez (Hafiz), and other mystical poets  …  so many different and beautiful ways to point to … The Mystery … and be reminded of …. The Mystery.

You can download this entire book for free from Nirmala's website: endless-satsang.com. Nirmala also offers several of his other books for free download from his website.

Please note that the various stanza repetitions and emphasis are my own spontaneous and inexplicable adaptations.

Rumi's most profound recognition came in his search for the missing Shams. In this search he discovered that he did not have to search at all.... what he was looking for; he already was .. That! Here's his poem expressing that search.

As those familiar with Rumi know that .. all of his poetry is the expression of his love with The Divine ... exquisite  ... and offers incredible gems of wisdom so .. here is .... Inner Sunrise.

Looks like my plans re a certain poem are going to continue to be subject to revision. As some of the listeners know, I have yet to read the follow on to the poem "Who Am I?," which was read on Apr 26th ... and that follow on poem will still need to wait some more ... because typically I let either my inner voice lead me to the poem of the day or I let my hands wander and pick one ... invariably I discover a new gem .... so here is "A Mine of Rubies."
