PUBLIC NOTICE: TODAY I MET A SOUL...
Hello friends. This is a notification to let you know that I will be offline throughout the month of August. I am currently doing tremendous inner work, and I need some quiet time (which would seem incredibly confusing to anyone who knows that I have spent MOST of the past year in the house, by myself! However, I spent that time trying to get better...you know, pushing the river. Now it is time to live in the present and see what is really going on.) I leave you with a poem that my great friend Sadiq and I wrote last week.
Be well, and enjoy your summer (or winter, depending on which hemisphere you live in ).
Blessings,
Bhakti

Today i Met a Soul™…
1 Today i met a soul,
whose light showered my path
even from the other side of the world
2 Today my love of Self as One
became realized as a love of One
Oneness without boundary3 Today i spoke with a soul,
the voice came rushing
right into my heart
and melted my whole existence
4 Today, a faraway stranger
rekindled my love for the knowledge
that nothing is neither near nor far
here nor there
just is.
5 one heart sang in tune with another.
who said, we are far?
6 The Light of God
raining upon two souls
focusing their vision of Oneness into Reality
7 i know i have been given this blessed touch
to reunite with a close soul, i knew already
long back in some unknown lives.
8 ‘Just about giving up sharing my mysticism
for fear of being deemed MAD
in an outward looking world
9 So, we unfolded our wings of love eternal
embracing to unite the two souls
and looked at the Glorious Light,
the Source from where all souls descend.
10 And the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’, and ‘why’ disappeared
into the ether
and all that was left was
nothing
but

There is nothing more sacred than "inner work".
On this auspicious occasion, I sincerely encourage you to recognize the tremendous powers within, and to identify yourself with all that you hold sacred.
I earnestly hope that you return from this journey with riches beyond compare.
At this moment I feel like narrating a simple statement:
"The Self is the enemy of the Self, and the Self is the friend of the Self."
Hope that helps you.
Cheers!
I will miss you. Let us know when you are back online.
thanks a lot dear Bhakti. I stil haven't uploaded this one to mine. waiting for the right moment, some hints from my heart.

yours,
Sadiq
Nice! Take care of yourself Bhakti - I miss you

Good luck on your journey!
I'd say something about the journey being more important than the destination, but that seems to be the point of your poem.
Luck on finding your self bhakti.
Thats great .
A lovely spiritual poem :) I have already commented on Sadiq's blog, so let me only wish you well on your retreat. May Allah open your heart with His grace.
Ya Haqq!
We'll be here when you get back. Your voice will be missed, but we are all so appreciative of why you are taking this break. May your soul find peace in the interim.
Welcome BACK , Home . Bhakti .
How was ur hibernation , did u find what u searched for ???
Ok Bhakti , i know u will be one of those lovely persons , who will like me . I Have to tell you this .
I got myself placed at "WIPRO" , and i am happy to share it .
Thank you BHAKTI , i owe you more .
Are you back? I sure miss you. check this out!
Sorry I don't get a chance to comment much anymore, life got exceedingly busy in a short period of time.
I'll be honest in that this is not entirely a social call. I have been selected to compete in a local blogging competition on the isssues facing America. It's sponsored by a business-lifestyle magazine linked to an event put on ny the Sac Chamber of Commerce.
The event is probably geared towards a slightly right-of-center audience (business people), but I'm ok with that. I posted today about it with all the appropriate links. I'd appreciate it if you would take a look - it kicks off on Tuesday.
Thanks,
Mike
I hope your neck surgery turns out all right. Good luck!
