Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love

Krishna (Hindu deity)
My Beloved, My son, from bondage is free. Thy heart I do clasp and
breathe there a blessing. I hold thee and bless thee and serve thee, My
son. A little while yet and thy mission is over. Come thou to the
innermost heart and list to My love.
* *
Greeting to Gooroo who by the sunlight of Love brought distinction to
ignorance.
* *
Love stoops to the feet of all and embraces life. Love is the source of
all. Love is a law unto itself. Love is law unto man and unto woman.
Spirit eyes to them by Love were given, to see the smiling world within,
to see what Love willeth them to be.
* *
Good to everyone, Love sways from self to selflessness. Love is the
lotus that sends its spirit, gives its sweetness and grace. It in equal
measure giveth its fairness and its fragrance to all who near it cometh.
Love is omnipotent.
* *
Ye are flowers, O My children, flowers of rarest splendour. Ye must give
my grace out in plenty, knowing that love holds on its fingers mountain
heights and specks of dust; knowing the love that is powerful in the man
as in the child that weepeth when Mine Eye it cannot see; knowing the
Love that is all in all.
* *
On the broad expanse of white the blackest dirt is easiest seen. Would
you know how Love does hold its own? A chain of love for all is made. If
you do but pull and dig and draw, the links do cut and sting. But if you
laugh and dance and sing, a lotus-leaf it does become. Draw nearer
still, scatter the petals to those that wait unknown till with a touch
of pain they breathe the white-winged thoughts from thee.
* *
You gaze into My Eyes and know that I am All in All.
* *
Then know you too, O listen all, that oft the eyes of earth-sense are
thickened with the gray of truth misundertood, why do ye not rise to
meet the love that stretches out to you? Why are the plumed wings not
outspread? Why the spirit-forehead stands on tip-toe?
* *
In the play ground of the forest, by the bank of the sportive river,
'neath the trees when the wing of songbirds stirs the leaves of sleeping
roses, and the perfume of the lotus calls languorous love, where the
sparkling stars are laughing and the moonbeams kills the darkness, in
the sweet divine embracing where the the Twain in Bliss do meet—there am
I.
* *
Therefore because thou art thus, not all the concentrated beauty of a
whole universe can take from thee that which is thine, nor can the
combined virtues of realm on realm hold to thee that which is not for
thee.
* *
Glory to Gooroo who by the law of wisdom taketh away ignorance! Glory
and salutation to Gooroo!
* *
When you do come to Me, let all your robes be white, your motives clean.
When a man is blind there is a veil before his eyes. I do not mix with
earth. Unless all clean and free from earth-nature, how can you
understand the words that are born in My Abode?
