When You Gazed into My Eyes

Precious moments of my life,
Cherished within my heart,
Those few breath-seconds,
When you gazed into my eyes.

Silently you read my soul,
And heard all my silent cries,
In those few breath-seconds,
When you gazed into my eyes.

I still glow from the love that I saw,
And shy at the thought of my own guilt,
That I saw reflected in those few seconds,
When you gazed into my eyes.

Heart full of unexplained throbbing,
Soul full of uncontainable pain,
Mind raging with furious tempests,
Brain totally overwhelmed,
Thus was I a total wreck,
Before I looked into your eyes,
And then suddenly everything froze,
In the frame of Time and Space,
Lost for those few breath-seconds,
When you gazed into my eyes.

And when you averted your eyes,
I found I could blink again,
And found all the tempests had subsided,
And I discovered myself afresh,
Radiant with happiness in my soul,
Something changed deep within me,
And the memory of those moments,
Is the fire keeping me alive,
And I still wonder what you did,
In those few breath-seconds,
When you gazed into my eyes.
_{Original poem by a satsangi}

Master is already gazing at us because he is pulling us from within to look at him. He creates a love from within – that is why we become helpless to look at the Master. So he has already done his duty; otherwise no disciple would fall in love with the Master – unless the Master wants him to fall in love with him. … He is the one who is creating his love in our heart, strengthening it, and helping us to grow it. He’s doing everything from within.
