Join Karuna each week to tap into your diamond body, diamond speech, and diamond mind. Using poetry, music, and Buddhist philosophy, she will help to bring your spiritual studies alive. You'll be encouraged to explore your relationship to your Truth and the universe through inspirations and ancient practices designed to awaken and unbar your heart.
We'll tap into what we want to pick up and what we want to lay down on day one and we'll check in all along the way. Find your heart felt desire with diamond clarity and see what lands on the doorstep of your life!
Along the way, we'll be reading The Garden by Geshe Michael Roach, a parable about a mystical garden and the search for Truth.
You can just enroll in this module, or you can be a part of our first annual Mind Oasis Yoga Immersion and/or Teacher Training! Details follow.
Tired of Speaking Sweetly (by Hafiz)
Love wants to reach out and manhandle us,
Break all our teacup talk of God.
If you had the courage and
Could give the Beloved His choice, some nights,
He would just drag you around the room
By your hair,
Ripping from your grip all those toys in the world
That bring you no joy.
Love sometimes gets tired of speaking sweetly
And wants to rip to shreds
All your erroneous notions of truth
That make you fight within yourself, dear one,
And with others,
Causing the world to weep
On too many fine days.
God wants to manhandle us,
Lock us inside of a tiny room with Himself
And practice His dropkick.
The Beloved sometimes wants
To do us a great favor:
Hold us upside down
And shake all the nonsense out.
But when we hear
He is in such a “playful drunken mood”
Most everyone I know
Quickly packs their bags and hightails it
Out of town.
