Spiritual Progress

How to measure the progress,
It looked like a never-ending process.
When will anxiety end?
One extreme to the other,
It is so hard, I told myself.
After 12 years, I see a sprout,
A strange intensity stays with me all the time.
I am certain.

Duality Takes Us to No Duality

Why rush to achieve?
Why finish fast?
It helped me to discover-
My restlessness, desires, and fears.
Duality leads to no duality.
Touching new heights of joy.

Observe, Observe…
People told me many times, but I could not understand.
I did not know how to detach myself—
That was the point.
When I knew nothing about observation, I was in the moment.
It was good, but not the complete truth.
Conscious effort was needed.
Kriya helped me learn observation.
After many years, I was different—hard to explain.
In unawareness, something in me was aware.

How to Observe?

How to observe what is not there at all?
Blankness, emptiness… what should I call it?
Something was bothering me, but I didn’t know what.
I tried to chant, went for a walk, but nothing worked.
It felt as if my breath was taken away—
All I wanted was to get back to myself.
Then I realized: change is a fight,
Sometimes duality, sometimes no-duality, perfectly fine,
I stayed with whatever was there,
Trying to observe..what I cannot observe.

Connection
The world wants to talk,
To spend time just to feel connected—
Yet often, we’re left exhausted.
How can one connect with God,
If every relationship
Is built only on words and talk?

Poem
After 50 years, one thing I understood—
The mind has no capacity
To grasp the Infinite.
No more questions,
No more search,
No more longing.
I simply live,
As silence lives in me.
