Walking Prayer

🌱🌿💐🌿

Meander the land
Grassy carpet of new green -
With walking prayer.

By grace of the light
With those who walked before -
Breathing in their prayers

🍃🌿💐🌿🍃

We think we are thinking our thoughts alone. We think, we are sending up prayers alone. However, we are often on a scaffolding built by those who came before. This is part of the power of sacred space.

         “Tara Mata, another great disciple of our Guru

one time mentioned to the monks - she was

giving some instruction and she said –

'Remember, When you breathe, you inhale

not only the oxygen – but the thoughts that

are roaming in the ether.’ “
Brother Chidananda – from the talk-

Kriya Yoga Science of Spiritual Living f

or the Modern Age

PRANAM TO THE GURU

How I love to be out in the night far from any city lights.

 

Deep in the woods -

 

Deep in the desert -

 

 On the oceans’ shore -

 

Deep within my Soul.

 

Unfettered by the false light of incandescent bulbs,

 

As though day were better or more beautiful than the night. 

My Beloved is there hiding in that dark.

His eyes shining through the stars

Deep in the woods –

Deep in the desert –

On the oceans’ shore –

Deep within my Soul.

Hiding behind the racket of daily activity,

He waits for me to come into the quiet of the night and find him.

And find him I shall.

His eyes shining through the stars

Deep in the woods –

Deep in the desert –

On the oceans’ shore –

Deep within my Soul.

With the breath as my steed, I ride him down

As He tirelessly has sought me out, now I seek Him.

What a fool to be afraid of the night.

The dark blazes with true Hearts’ Fire

Deep in the woods –

Deep in the desert –

On the oceans’ shore –

Deep within my Soul.

A thousand thousand pranams are not adequate

The embrace of The Beloved brings true day.
