Soulful Sadhak

When i am in service All my energies just flow When i am in service I don’t worry about tomorrow When i am in service I rise above the highs and lows When i serve, i am free I no longer need to be Better or worse Wrong or right I dedicate myself wholeheartedly I don’t compete or fight My mind is focused On just one thing I don’t get lost I am remembering What is most important In this mortal life To serve and help others Let go of struggle and strife When i am in service I come really alive There is only one thing For which i strive I just want all beings To be happy and thrive When i am in service I am reminded we are one There is no seperation And i've only just begun To see how our threads are spun Completely intertwined And the more i serve The more that i find There are no others No i just we Devoted to service It becomes plain to see There’s nothing in this world That is not me

 A Lovesong with a Twist Sometimes - not often - inspiration comes to me in the form of a pop/folk song. It is not the form of expression I am most familiar with (I am not the greatest singer or musician to say the least), but I like this form of expression nonetheless. I can communicate serious ideas, but at the same time, pop songs have this kind of lightheartedness to them that encourages me not to take myself to seriously. So my songs always have different levels to them. On one level I am sharing deep truths, but on the other hand I am also questioning myself and trying to put things into perspective. In this way I also want to encourage people to look beyond outward appearances, and to move beyond black and white thinking. So this particular song is inspired by my own life, I do feel attracted to other spiritual practitioners, because, for me, that is something that I want to share, nourish and deepen in the context of a relationship. Yet, on the other hand, those practitione...
