Clubs or Fiddles?

 

 

The Ambiance of Love
~ Hafiz

 
We all
Sit in His/Her Orchestra,


Some play their
Fiddles,

Some wield their
Clubs.

Tonight is worthy of music.

Let's get loose
With
Compassion.

Let's drown in the delicious
Ambiance of
Love.

Beyond "Purity" & "Impurity"





"All this talk of purity & impurity ~
These are just opinions. Beyond them
Are the astonishing energies of creation.


Rays of light from a trillion suns
Illumine the altar of your sky.
Rolling blue-green oceans
Sanctify the air you breathe.
In this moment, you are inhaling their blessing.


Who are you to call any of this pure or impure?


Find the center around which everything revolves ~
Stand here and be flooded with joy.



~ from the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra: 

The Radiance Sutras
