Eternal Lover of God

Leaving home we travel
and we take a body once again.
This is His caper which we enact;
we are His troupe of thespians.

The play is not without its framework.
It is filled with spectacle and
drama, comedy and tragedy.
Nothing is beyond His ken!

The game is afoot, this life is looming,
and it all seems so real.
So we traverse this existence
in joy and pain of loss and gain.

Each born in a province of his making,
covered in our ignorance
to what we truly are, not knowing
we are His.

We are moved by the impulsion of Time
to find Truth, although we do not know
what that Truth might be.
It is just that the heart feels life is lacking.

There is a void, an emptiness that
the mundane can not relieve.
Friends and family cannot assuage
the profound compulsion to seek.

So we accelerate in whatever direction
we think will fill us.
We gather people, status and things
but what we need is to be empty.

Empty of desire, empty of passion,
empty of lust, greed and attachment.
Hallowed, naked of the world, and pure,
we stand ready to receive His Word.

And then, we know there is a place
for us in The Father’s house.
So we begin the journey home,
As the Eternal Lover of God.

A Karmically Slow Start

So, here it goes... Let me first state that I am a neophyte in this spiritual world and it is only with my KrsnaGuru's grace that I am writing. Despite having been baptized as an infant and later given communion and confirmation as a child within the Catholic Church, I was quite unaware of God. But when I was 9 years old, my father passed away from acute leukemia. Within six months of his diagnosis, he was gone. His brothers, my uncles told me that God wanted my father to be with him at his right side. This was my first awareness of God. This God I felt did not care about me. This God took my father from me. I did not care to know this merciless God. Later, as a young person, I was fully immersed in the temperament of the time. The 1970's, in my area of America, brought a wave of self-centerness in adult parents fueled by a cultural acceptance of alcohol use that left a generation of adolescents unattended and witho

Spiritual Communion

Thank you KrsnaKnows for the impetus to write this blog and for the all the blessings you have bestowed on me. Rising Sun Throughout the year (2016) I had many moments where I believed that God was moving me and prompting me to act. The fact that I thought it was God communicating with me was a foreign idea. God could not have picked a less “God involved” person than myself, with whom to communicate. Yet, on several occasions in 2016, I said to my husband, “I think God is speaking to me.” Having taken up oil painting a few years prior, I was attending a training workshop in a neighboring state. On the drive down to Maryland, I gave some thought to the feeling I had that God was drawing me nearer to Him. I considered the possibility that I may be dying and that was the cause of God’s growing presence in my life. So, I reviewed my life and decided if indeed it were time for me to leave this life that would be fine. I pronounced my life had been a good life

Faith Born of Inquiry

KrsnaGuruji bestows Knowledge, not opinion nor advice. There are many paths open to those seeking the Truth. One may say, “There is no God,” or “Yes, there is a God.” Either of these statements should involve some investigation. My Faith is not a blind faith. Blind faith requires no study, no research, no reflection, nor inquiry. For me, the lessons of my KrsnaGuru have directed my Spiritual journey. His satsangs and expositions are an indispensable source of knowledge. Ruminating on His teachings long past the initial lessons, helps me to apply them to my daily life. As I continue to read, listen and learn more, many questions arise. These questions are of an esoteric nature and are far removed from the mundane world. Accordingly, only a Spiritual Master can answer them. My KrsnaGuru graciously answers all my questions and without Him, the True Knowledge would elude me. Much of my education in Spiritual has been centered on the Hindu pantheon. Guruji is in India, and when
