Swami Satchidananda


If you run after things, nothing will come to you. Let things run after you. The sea never sends an invitation to the rivers. That's why they run to the sea. The sea is content. It doesn't want anything. That's the secret in life.

An Ocean’s Gesture Inland.

How can I express this fathomless tide...
...this yearning to be in love with what I already am?

A river’s yearning to meet the sea is in the flow.
My longing for love — to meet the Beloved — Is
The song of the Beloved that I’m already singing,
On my inevitable journey towards the ocean...
And If wetness is my truth, then I'm already there.
