The human soul is on its journey from the law to love, from discipline to liberation, from the moral plane to the spiritual.

Pilgrims; Where do they go?
A pilgrimage is a journey or search of great moral or spiritual significance. Typically, it is a journey to a shrine or other location of importance to a person's beliefs and faith. Many religions attach spiritual importance to particular places: the place of birth or death of founders or saints, or to the place of their 'calling' or spiritual awakening, or of their connection (visual or verbal) with the divine, or to locations where miracles were performed or witnessed, or locations where a deity is said to live or be 'housed, ' or any site that is seen to have special spiritual powers. Such sites may be commemorated with shrines or temples that devotees are encouraged to visit for their own spiritual benefit: to be healed or have questions answered or to achieve some other spiritual benefit. A person who makes such a journey is called a pilgrim. In America, the term pilgrim is typically associated with an early colonial Protestant sect known for their strict rules of discipline.
As Mountaineers anxiously
Waiting for the season to go up,
We all travel of this endless gravel road
Without a hope?
What they carry in their old bags?
It seems to be very heavy
And how do they climb the mountain?
Anyhow they may reach the peak one day
And settle there with their heavy load?
But they are not going to stay a longer,
Then afterwards where do they go?
When they come down
Some others climb up?
[I put fistful of sugar on the floor and little later saw black ants in a line.
And I watched their return with a granule of sugar.They never fail to tell each other the secret to the newcomers? ]

The Journey without shortcuts
The Journey traveled without shortcuts,
is a journey worth taking.
For there are no shortcuts,
to any place worth going.
The destination does not matter,
but the Journey to it does.
For at the destination,
you will not learn anything.
You will not accomplish much either.
On the Journey to it, however,
you learn many things,
and accomplish much.
On the Journey,
you learn. You learn that,
'We are not human beings on a spiritual journey,
but spiritual beings on a human journey.' (-my good friend Joe)
So travel hard,
and travel well.
Choose your companions wisely,
and leave everything behind.
Never look back,
always move forward.
For 'Yesterday is history,
and history is miles away.' (-Matthew West)
But never forget anything either,
learn all that you can,
and treasure the good times.
Then this Journey will be like no other.
This is the Journey,
of life.
Our life here on Earth,
so don't take shortcuts.
This Journey won't be easy,
but you have a guide.
The guide will never leave your side,
and he will carry you through the rough terrain.
He loves you more than you will ever know,
and he gave you this Journey,
so travel it while holding his hand.
You are not alone.
So again,
never look back,
but don't forget either,
and don't stop.
Don't take any shortcuts,
run the whole race.
You are not alone
on this Journey,
the Journey of life.

Journey
being on a spiritual journey
demands equal time and
commitment to a human journey.
you can't be aloof and
find 'God', enlightenment,
or the inner self.
the fire is found
in the deepest night;
but the hands of God
are human.
they are yours!

In Your Fidelity With The Word
in your fidelity with the word
despite what mood you keep on siding with the word
giving it a face
and a soul
and a certain motion like the planets in their orbits
what then? what shall all these words reward you?
a story to tell? a poem that you can read for all of those
who are weary on the journey?
a novel to spend time with
or kill it since it bores you to death?
yes, i must ask, what shall this fidelity give you
as a reward for your affections
and loyalty to its nuances, moods, and context?
is it the liberation of your soul from the prison of doubt?
oh, you keep on saying you are free.
is it the liberation of your mind from the unpopularity of reality?
oh, you keep saying you do not need it.
is it the liberation of your body from the shackles of your organs?
mind boggling, why should my organs be my prison?
is it this prolix that keeps you bored?
or is it simply the questions that keep on growing
that keeps you alive?
are you more interested in the answers?
i am just asking. Are there answers?
my dear, at the end, there are only questions.
These are the realities of our world. The open mind
is the gift. It is the reward to your fidelity
of the bosom of the word.
kiss it then, and make love to the beauty of the
question mark.

A Spiritual Connection
A spiritual
connection
I will never
forget.
a soul search
all wrapped in
one package.
sweet, kind,
gentle.
one I will
treasure
always
and as the
door to
eternity
opens
I will search
the unknown
for another
chance
to renew that
connection.
an endless

Journey Of My Soul
My soul has left my tired earthly shell
Guided by a holy hierophant.
We hover, moving, seemingly propelled
into a brilliant limbo Labyrinth:
A vaguely familiar and friendly place
An imperceptible spiritual sphere
entirely devoid of time and space.
My guide has often escorted me here
to this final after death tribunal.
She will as always present my defense
before the other hierophant panel
To determine previous moral sense
And worthy of another incarnate
journey’s quest to seek another soul mate.

Submission to God
This body doesn’t belong to me;
The life within isn’t either mine;
Both born were from Your love divine;
I have no right o’er them truly!
Your love and kindness amaze me;
Your care and fondness is perfect;
My senses can’t detect defect;
Your heart of love is great simply.
And, yet I keep complaining much;
My human love can’t match Yours, God;
I have become imperfect, Lord;
I need Your grace, forgivness-touch!
Heal me, O God, my soul and heart;
Let all my weaknesses depart;
Rejuvenate each body-part;
Let my spiritual journey restart!

Discipline Of Love
You naughty girl: so sharp and dry
Don't fill yourself with foolish pride
You wanted me to notice you
But when I came, you cut me
Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love some discipline
You wild child
How sweet you smile
Your crystal ball it's broken
Why did you do it?
Why did you go and spoil the fun?
Why did you do it?
You need the discipline of love some discipline
Take notice now: my turn to talk
The gate of love it's narrow

Wish Of A Soul Is Wish Of Nature I
To wish is natural, wish of a soul
is wish of soul of nature.
It is the basis of evolution of
souls. But any wish limited to
individual either ends in
temporary happiness or pain. Wish which is limited to
individual interest is binding
one!
Wish for the broader interest of
living being is rewarding.
But soul free of any wish is liberated.
Broad spectrum wish,
I like to call,
are surely help evolution.
Once I believe this and know,
I keep myself full of wishes, those wishes that will become
boon to
all worlds.
If my wish is not able to move
the immovable's heart,
then I am not in the way towards
liberation. In my opinion liberation of soul is
less important than love flowing
from heart that embrace all!

Morning blue sky
Morning blue sky
~
Looking upon a pale blue sky
A plane cuts across my sight
That sharp white line climbs
Into a journey to begin the day
Off into a wandering fantasy
A stirring of birds fill the view
Like a thousand thoughts
All the world slowly waking
Still not a cloud to be seen
Last nights sleep rubbed from eyes
While watching the plane disappear
The fading white trail ebbs away
A journey somewhere beginning
Or perhaps another’s ending
The fantasy of a journey
Looking into a morning blue sky
Stirs the waking mind

A brother
A Brother
Born to be at service to the Church and to her people, as
Reflection of God’s love, faith, charity to all peoples, thus,
Opt to live in poverty, chastity and obedience –the total yes;
To be equipped both in academic and in spiritual discipline,
Holistic to promote Jesus Christ –the human and the divine
Endeavor, therefore, the spirituality of maturity and growth
Reality as such, he is a brother, a friend who bears to truth

Democracy is, first and foremost, a spiritual force, it is built upon a spiritual basis - and on a belief in God and an observance of moral principle. And in the long run only the church can provide that basis. Our founder knew this truth - and we will neglect it at our peril.

Given Over By God
Given over to a debased mind, while upon earth, iniquity they bind,
Rejecting the God of creation, they exchange Truth for imagination,
Pulling others into a darkened fray, that becomes darker every day,
As leaders, they’re spiritually amiss, leading men into a dark abyss.
Given over to an amoral slide, anything they want, won’t be denied,
Breaking all of God’s Moral Laws, creating in Truths, spiritual flaws,
And making all things even worse, for those still under God’s curse,
Telling many they too, are God, convincing all with a deceptive nod.
They’re enlightened by the dark, putting their minds in spiritual park,
Wooing many into a spiritual lull, they are endangering many a soul,
They report having a revelation, with a new twist on man’s salvation,
And to all people have been sent, with their New Age enlightenment.
From a frying pan of spiritual desire, they jump into the spiritual fire,
A fire that they believe is an illusion, much to the believer’s delusion,
But real delusion has only begun, upon those who reject God’s Son,
To be employed by the eternal liar, to draw many into the eternal fire.
What they sow, while upon the earth, will not be of any lasting worth,
And all they bind they won’t keep, when they see just what they reap,
For all they’ll reap is eternal death, upon their very last earthly breath,
Ending their darkened spiritual lives; seeing the Light of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Comes From Another Dimension
Examining the Earth plane from up above,
Jesus soul incarnates as a human to bring unconditional love.
He was to let the human race know
that we are connected through our souls.
We are here to express God-
to love one another with all we got.
He saw seperation from our higher authentic self.
He wanted us to that if nothing else.
He fought with the Devil-the evil of the mind-
it is our ego-
it controls us in our waking time.
He taught us to feel in our heart-
cleanse our karma and make a new start.

The invisible wisdom of God.........
Do we know the truth of heaven and our God's love?
Do we understand the knowledge of invisible wisdom of God?
We must understand that God's wisdom rests on the
foundation of spiritual practice of compassion and love
Learning spiritual power and prayers could make us
to realize the truth of heaven and God's love
We all born with God's love and care at the beginning
and the problem arises how to remain till our end
Our spiritual journey starts with understanding on God's trust
and continue with perception of God's precepts till the end
The spiritual perfection could be achieved not only by meditation
but also teaching others to reach the knowledge of wisdom
That is why God appointed wisdom as his goal for mankind
God loves his people and enjoy their knowledge in wisdom
and he feels proud of his rational creation on earth
Our choice is live with the wisdom to delight in God
or choose path of that leads to miserable life on earth.
