Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: The Way of Grace

The moon waxes bright, it wanes dim,
but Your love ever flows forth like an eternal waterfall
flowing toward the ocean.

The full moon cannot do
justice to Your brilliance.
You are more like the
brilliance of the sun
in the cool summer breezes of Alaska, never setting
and ever-nourishing the
landscape with its light.

Your grace fills the
skies with laughter,
Your song sends thrills
through the universe,
The gentle movement of
Your heart
dances through the cosmos,
rippling waves of Divine Love throughout the universe.

Whether near or far,
the splendor of
Your Grace fills our hearts.

If I chase You,
You disappear
like the fleeting beauty of
an exotic butterfly.
If I surrender,
You are there waiting
with open arms ready
to take me into Your heart.

I must grow smaller and
You must grow larger.
Like the sun rising in the morning and overtaking the candle, which looks forward to melting down into the warm summer
breeze of Your Love.

The moon feels shy
The ocean rises high
At the fullness of
your Being

Guru Purnima, the full moon day in July, is a traditional day to honor the Master.
