whatever your motive

whatever your motive


you say you want to paint for fun
whatever your motive just hold the color and paint

you say you want to love for fun
whatever your motive just fall and love

you say you want to practice yoga because it is trendy
whatever your motive just do it!
bend and stretch

you say you want to dance for the wedding
whatever your motive just do it! move!

you say you want to help and you know it is for the people to see you
whatever the motive just help and give

you say you want to pray and it is out of fears of the hell fire
whatever your motive just pray
talk to God

my father asked me does it differ to the almighty that we bow to him?
he is too great for us to matter!
I told him with out comparing,
you are my father and i was just your cry baby not so long ago
does it matter to you that I call you on the phone?
although you are so strong and successful you can do without me
i told him although to you i am tiny doesn't it matter to you when I call you

it is the same although it is actually good for us to pray
if not with our foreheads on the ground
then with our palms on our hearts
if not with our hands facing the sky
then with our hearts beating towards the direction of the light

there is no certain way that is right
all ways lead to God
take what ever makes sense to you and makes your heart rest

the part that fits you right practice that
i am not here to preach
i know nothing at all
for i am truly small
but with my love my heart expands and i become
who i am

who ever that is
i realized that in stressful times the only way out is in
dig deep
dig deeper
yes deep inside is a treasure

you heard it before it will not make sense
until you hit bottom and then you realize
that from deep sorrow comes liberty and bliss

you know what you need to do
what you need to change
what you need to lose
the best teacher is you

do not listen to your friends
you know you love them
but they do not know
nobody knows it all
what to them seems right
might torment you in the end

it is you
that you end up with
not even the body

the other you
you that you love so much
but are afraid to show

the quiet one
the real one

yes it exists
maybe you need to sit still
to leave the crowd for a while

so that when amongst them again
you can still find yourself

do not blend
do not blend

you are magnificent with how different you have become

i have learned that there is no secret potion to avoiding pain
no formula
no tricks
no magic

but only with love and peace and with polishing the mirror of the heart
only then can you get through it all

the crowd seems so attractive from a distance
up close and personal you can smell their stink
and you will find nothing is magical about them

small talk, small talk
talk with no end
or meaning or even motive

whatever your motive is,
you will get the benefits of playing with colors,
of moving to music,
of doing the asanas,
of breathing right
of praying to God.

its all good for you
its all good
whatever the motive
it is all good
