I longed for the Ocean until
You splashed Water in my face

I admired clothing until
Your Wind blew it all away

I aspired for the Wine until
You emptied the bottle over me

I talked of love until, one Night,
You kissed me

My longing was a cloud passing before the Sun until
Only the Light remained in the Sky

Why speak
When your arms draw me to your breasts?

Why talk of religion
With this Breath moving over me?

Why theorize about Jesus
When he is holding my hand?

Why wait for Heaven
When I am already immersed in such Bliss?

SUNIAI, "Listening"


Listening, the siddhas (beings of spiritual perfection),
The spiritual teachers, the heroic warriors, the Yogic Masters.
Listening, the earth, it's support, and the akaashic ethers.
Listening, the oceans, lands, and peoples of the world,
And the nether regions of the underworld.
Listening, death cannot touch you.
O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss.
Listening, pain and sin are erased.


Listening, shiva, brahma, and indra.
Listening, even foul mouthed people praise him.
Listening, the technology of yoga, and the secrets of the body.
Listening, the shaastras, the simritees, and the vedas.
O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss.
Listening, pain and sin are erased.


Listening, truth, contentment, and spiritual wisdom.
Listening, as if to take one's cleansing bath
At the sixty-eight sacred shrines of pilgrimage.
Listening, reading, and reciting, honor is obtained.
Listening, intuitively grasping the Essence of Meditation.
O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss,
Listening, pain and sin are erased.


Listening, dive deep into the Ocean of Virtue.
Listening, shaykhs (religious scholars), spiritual teachers, emperors.
Listening, even the blind find the way.
Listening, the unreachable comes into our hands.
O Nanak, the devotees are forever in bliss.
Listening, pain and sin are erased.
