True Love always involves three || Acharya Prashant, on Hafiz (2016)

I want both of usTo start talking about this Great LoveAs if You, I and the Sun were all marriedAnd living in a tiny room.Helping each other to cook,Do the wash,Weave and sewCare for our beautifulAnimals.We all leave each morningTo labor on the earth’s field.No one does not lift a great pack.I want both of us to start singing like twoTraveling minstrelsAbout this Extraordinary ExistenceWe Share,As If,You, I, and God were all marriedAnd living in A TinyRoom~ HafizAcharya Prashant: It’s Love. As called it twenty-one blinks (Twenty-one blinks is the title of the poems selected by Acharya Ji). ‘Twenty-one blinks’ because it is either understood in a blink or not understood at all. The hope, rather the realization is that it is already understood. It’s easy, as easy as blinking. There is nobody here—right now, even as the session has not even begun—who does not absolutely and fully understand what each of these verses is about. And I insist even if you claim that you do not understand what this stuff is about, I still assert, that we all know. We all know. It is impossible to not know, for what is being said is as simple and direct, and close as one can be to oneself. It’s about one’s own nature that these verses are.
