Swans Eternal

In the core of the heart

 the two swans sit

both ever pure

both ever free

One eats the fruit of acceptance and rejection

the other watches with compassion

The first sheds tears of illusion

The other wipes them with perfection

One is turned away

one is turned within

one cries
the other smiles

The guru sits in the space of illusion

like a mirror, he shows the inner space

When the crying swan sees his own reflection

he sees both himself and the other

Meeting himself for the first time

He knows only the other

Travelling along the river of love

avoiding the rivers of action and knowledge

the two swans sport together

in the flow of effortless existence

they play with illusions like magic tricks

appearance and disappearance

no longer cause any fear 

Sharks and Crocodiles 

cannot enter the river of love

Nilamani says "Oh friend, I was the sad swan but Guru lead me to safety

Now I see, Guru is the inward swan come before me!

Knowing this I cannot look anywhere that is not he

Stumbling in the bliss of Guru's feet

I simply mutter "Guru guru"
