This poem is dedicated to the true meaning of Yoga: the union of the individual soul (jivatman) with the universal soul (paramatman). It is a celebration of the process whereby a person comes to know and see him or herself in the heart of all other beings: the end of the false belief that we are separate and the beginning, one could say, of the life in and of the soul, which knows only unity and solidarity with all that is.

Jesus is a beautiful example of a Yogi whose sacred heart led followers on the path of forgiveness as a gateway to true inner freedom, unity and peace (photo courtesy of 1800sunstar.com)

to its part

Pounding

Beating

and Breathing

deeply

Connected to

the Source

there is no greater

force

Rhythm and rhyme

combine

So sweet

it’s sublime

Separation is

the only crime

Truth unfolds

in divine time

Though a star

appears as far

as the sky

is high

Like the Moon and Sun,

You and I,

We are One
