The Temple Of Jerusalem

Why Fight For Shrines ?

It was in times of Solomon

The king of golden land

Who held the truth inside his heart

And love in ruling hand.

Caressed by sun and washed by rain

On map of ancient world

Like diamond shined Jerusalem

In caring hands of God.

And Solomon sang Praise to God

Who blessed his Fatherland

Whose gentle Love is such a force

That nothing can withstand

And then he said: -This whole wide world

Just by Your Grace is run,

I want to build a Temple for You,

As beautiful as the sun!"

-"Yes, you can build it", answered God -

"But one should know well,

That in the stones I dwell not,

But in the hearts I dwell

And if you walk the rightful ways

And rule with Truth and Love , -

You are my Temple, Solomon,

And is it not enough?"

... But many days had fallen through

Like sand through open hands

And many beautiful temples were build

In our homelands

But what was build for sake of love

That now hate destroys

And people fight for temples and lands

Like children fight for toys!

What was in times of Solomon

Has long time come to end

And now Age of Truth is here

And one should understand

Why fight for shrines of older days

The world of Past is dead!

It’s time to build the Temple of God

Within our hearts instead!

The quicksands

You look above you high -

Your sight is lost in sky,

You see beneath your feet

All green and lovely land

But further you should see

Where land is meeting sea:

They shine with blinding light -

The dangerous quicksands

Choose your way, stay away

Once you step into that

Mass of sand closes in

Over top of your head

Choose your way, go around

Forewarn can be seen

There are steps coming in

And no steps going out!

No way out!

Sometimes the way of wrong

Seems powerful and strong

And shield of Inner Truth

Feels heavy in your hands

But stick to rightful way,

And never step astray

Because the way of wrong

Leads straight into quicksands

Choose your way, stay away

Once you step into that

Mass of sand closes in

Over top of your head

Choose your way, go around

Forewarn can be seen

There are steps coming in

And no steps going out!

No way out!

Kundalini song

Behold the thread of Life

That guides the boat of soul

Through shallow stream of Time

To Ocean of Joy

The Truth that always wins

The Love that never binds

And gently gives us choice

To grow and enjoy

Our bodies, our minds

Are only shell of Maya

All dreams of mortal world

Will fade away like dust

But what we hold inside

Is our pure desire

The only real wish

To follow and trust -

Oh, Kundalini Ma,

We want to be the flow

Of Your Eternal Bliss,

The living breath of Thine,

From seed to mighty tree

Inside of us You grow

And take the spring of self

To the Ocean of Divine!

The ancient face of Time

Is changing its expression

As shadows and light

Create the day and night,

But sacred and untouched

You dwell in each creation

You are the Love of God

Revealed from inside.

We have a rare chance

In dawn of Golden Era

To feel Your rising shine

That shows us the way

So now to save the world

We all must come together

And at Your Lotus Feet

Inside of our hearts we pray -

Oh, Kundalini Ma,

We want to be the flow

Of Your Eternal Bliss,

The living breath of Thine,

From seed to mighty tree

Inside of us You grow

And take the spring of self

To the Ocean of Divine!

To a seeker

In morning light when stars are pale

You long to leave the nest

And then your journey sets the sail

For your eternal quest

Across the seas and mountain heights

So many roads go

But only one that reaches the Truth

Resides inside of you.

In rainy days you see the drops

But cannot see the way;

In piles of books you read the words

But meaning slips away

Across the seas and mountain heights

So many roads go

But only one that reaches the Truth

Resides inside of you.

In sea of Love the Time is still

And waves of spirit shine

And in the depth of heart you feel

The presence of Divine

Across the seas and mountain heights

So many roads go

But only one that reaches the Truth

Resides inside of you.

The Call of Love

Feel the call of Love within your soul

Walk across the world in each direction

Try to bring the peace to every home

And to turn into friends the fighting nations

Once you melt your heart in Joy of Spirit

Then in any land you’ll always find:

People are so caring, nice and friendly,

And the earth is generous and kind!

Chorus:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

God’s Grace is beyond the creed and race,

God’s Love wants the whole World embrace:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

Repeat:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

My friend, all the wars will come to end

My friend, Truth and Love will always stand:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

When the whole world will come together,

When the whole earth will get united,

Sea and Sky will memorize forever

Laugher and Joy of brothers reunited.

In the light of self-realization

From within the righteousness we’ll know

And completely new civilization

On the shores of Mother Earth will grow.

Chorus:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

God’s Grace is beyond the creed and race,

God’s Love wants the whole World embrace:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

Repeat:

Believe your heart, believe your soul -

The Truth is one, the World is whole!

My friend, all the wars will come to end

My friend, Truth and Love will always stand:

On your palms feel the cool breeze:

It is thine, this gift of Divine!

The Inner Guide

From job to job and from place to place

Something keeps you moving in life,

The life for you is an endless race

And for better always you strive.

A beast has a forest, a fish has a sea,

And a bird has the bottomless sky

But what makes you wander? what prompts you to seek

Hidden quest you cannot satisfy?

Within you it always was

Bright like the sun

And gentle like the rain

From depth of heart

It sweetly calls:

Chase for the truth

That you can attain!

But how to find it? where to start?

The directions are tricky to guess:

The ancient writings have fallen apart

And the paths have been lost in the grass...

And leaving at peace all confusion of Past

You are blazing your own trail anew

For there is a guide you rely on and trust

Very loving and loyal to you:

Within you it always was

Bright like the sun

And gentle like the rain

From depth of heart

It sweetly calls:

Chase for the truth

That you can attain!

The Wish of Truth

The wish of Truth inside us burns

And mind is tortured by

Ten thousands why

Unsure what to do and what to try

For spiritual thirst.

The thunderstorms of thoughts books are pouring from above

But we don’t care for words, we ask for Love:

Within our inner shrine there is a thirst for Pure Love...

If in the City of Joy you have lost your way

Busy life is making you to live your days away

And your mind just seems to you like a maze of highways

That lead nowhere,

Don’t leave the Hope, call for Mother, take Her hand

Your every beat of heart She understands

And never ends the presence of Her Love.

-- Alla Levitan
