to wasteland?

Cultivated, it could have yielded

a harvest of gold.

Take up, my heart, the spade of devotion,

wrench out the weeds of sin;

the seed of faith will grow.

Just destroy obstacles.

Take up, my heart, the spade of devotion,

wrench out the weeds of sin;

the seed of faith will grow.

You are carrying the seed within you. It is already treasured in the deepest core of your being, waiting and waiting and waiting for obstacles to be removed so that it can unfold. God is your intrinsic quality; God is your destiny. You are the seed and God is going to be the flower out of this seed.

Human limbs are held together

by a pair of lotus blossoms

growing in the lower

and the upper regions of the body.

But the lotuses burst open

in search

as the sun in the body

rises and sets.

As your awareness rises and sets, your innermost lotuses open and close. Just as in the morning the sun rises in the sky on the horizon in the East, and the lotuses bloom, when night comes and the sun sets in the West, the lotuses close again. The Bauls say,

Human limbs are held together

by a pair of lotus blossoms...

... What the yogis call CHAKRAS: the vortexes of energy, the wheels of energy, the seven CHAKRAS. Bauls call them the seven lotuses.

...growing in the lower

and the upper regions of the body.

But the lotuses burst open

in search

as the sun in the body

rises and sets.

On which of these blooms

is the full moon born,

and on which

the darkest night of the month?

The lowest lotus is the sex lotus. If you remain there you will remain in a dark night. The last lotus, the seventh, SAHASRAR, is the lotus where the moon becomes full. Move from sex to love. Love is the quality or the function of the man who has come to SAHASRAR; sex is the quality and the function of the man who lives at the lowest lotus.

And don't be worried, the Bauls sing,.

My worries continue

for my crumbling boat

that can no longer carry.

Water rushes through
