Letter of Hope

Through the infinite grace and mercy of the beloved Master, I was able to visit India and sit at His Holy feet once again. It is such a great blessing one can hardly Comprehend it. those who have tasted the bliss can never forget.

Master's great love and kindness once again overhelmed me. even in his sickness he was consoling others. He has suffered greatly for us and at times the sight of Master suffering silently for our shortcomings and sins was almost unbearable. One day the weight of my sins was weighing heavily upon me, my wretchedness loomed large before me, and I was even losing faith that there could be any hope for such a sinner as myself. That evening at Darshan as Master was sitting so majestically on his bed on the porch, an Indian disciple came Master spoke to humble for a while, and then turning around, said in English, “so there is nothing to be disappointed about, there is hope for everyone, man is in the make.” How many times I had read those words! And yet this time with Master's charging, they pierced my soul and filled me with hope and strength. Such is the greatness of the Master . with one glance or word. he can lift one up when one is faltering in the twinkling of an eye he can fill one with such bliss and joy one can only shed tears of gratefulness. In all the worlds and in all the times I cannot believe that there has ever been one such as our Blessed Master.

As my Guru passed
My head bowed all by itself.
Is he passing still?

The gas station man
Carefully removed his hat
As my Guru passed.

For My Master at Sant Bani

     1

when I first heard you called Master,
my tongue would not follow.
Here I’ve understood who you are,
And my tongue wags Master, Master.

Master: Kirpal means gracious one.
Have mercy on me, sinner.

I sit on this floor. It is in a room
In a state called new Hampshire which 
Is in a group of six states called
New England which is a state of mind
As well as place. And yet I am here
Never having arrived nor ever left
New Hampshire. Not of this body though
In it. not of this mind though attached
To it. wondering now: who am I
And when: I will know my self
As: you are not Kirpal Singh yet are.

Master: Singh meanslion.
Do all lions bring tears?
