Poem: Spiritual heart

To touch the spirit

One does not need hands

Only the spiritual heart

To taste the waters of the spirit

One does not need a tongue

Only the spiritual heart

To see the fabric of the spirit

One does not need eyes

Only the spiritual heart

To hear the voice of the spirit

One does not need ears

Only the spiritual heart

To smell the scent of the spirit

One does not need a nose

Only the spiritual heart

It’s the spiritual heart that needs to be opened (both believers and non-believers)

It’s the spiritual heart that needs to be freed from all entanglements (selfishness, materialism…etc)

It’s the spiritual heart that needs to be submerged inside the ocean of Love

Now the spiritual heart is the true organ of spirituality (mind, body & soul)

Totally insulated from uncertainty

The spiritual heart knows the language of the spirit

Totally housed inside the realm of certainty

The spiritual heart can measure even the slightest ripples on the fabric of life (consciousness)

It’s the stillness inside the spiritual heart that brings clarity (awareness)

It’s the calmness inside the spiritual heart that brings peace

It’s the silence inside the spiritual heart that gives you the taste of eternity

It’s the Love inside the spiritual heart that gives you the breath of life

The spiritual heart is a dimensionless or placeless place (nothingness)

The abode of God
