The Songs, Compositions and Poetry of Supreme Master Ching Hai (vegan), Part 10 of a Multi-part Series

To those in love, the world feels like springtime blossoms. A sweet reunion after months of separation seems to revive the splendid Earthly realm.

“Early tomorrow morning I return to see you, The perfumed wind in all directions Stroking my hair, Caressing my smiling lips.

Blue evening, I gaze into your shimmering eyes. Birds return to their nests, Singing and rejoicing in our reunion. The two of us So much to share...

Golden night, Together we revel in the moonlight, Our hearts like luscious honey, Our love like a cooling breeze.

I love you You love me. Life's garden is infused with the scent of blossoms...”

“‘Love Me.’ You know who is ‘Me’? The Supreme Master in all of us. The song is inspired by the Bhagavad Gita. In the Bhagavad Gita, God said to Arjuna, ‘Love Me; surrender everything unto Me.’ So that's the ‘Me.’”

Love Me! Like you've never known anyone Love Me! And love only Me! Love Me! Like you've never loved anyone Love Me! And I will set you free!

Forever and ever We'll be together Beyond all frontiers Beyond sorrows and fears Forever and ever Follow Me! Follow only Me! Follow Me! And I will set you free! Love Me! More than all glories!

Love Me! Because I'm your glory! Forever and ever Forever and ever...”

Each person in this Earthly realm is born out of the endless causal conditions and has lived through many previous lives. Ensuing on from these countless transformations, the way Home has faded out of sight. Some journey to the Heavenly realm; others are lost in the world of suffering. With the heart of a Bodhisattva and great compassion, a fully enlightened Soul cannot abandon those who err, and therefore always looks for and reminds others of their Buddha Nature, awaiting the return of those who are separated from their true Self.

“I descended to this world, searching for you My eternal beloved, mired in this life of turbulence. Sailing the boat of Perfect Wisdom through the turbid sea, From the gate of birth and death to the purgatory! I have searched for you in the land of Hades, Eons have passed to near your traces, The beauty of your essence still pure within the soul Yet in a fleeting moment, your whereabouts are unknown!

Where have you gone amidst the tangle of trails? Do you remember a glorious incarnation beckoning? An instant of illusory thoughts, thousands of ties arise With this physical self, all solemn promises buried. Flesh and bone immersed in the mist of the tainted shore, The soul bewildered in this earthly realm Each step astray in life's labyrinth, The road back to the sacred land is farther each day!

I want to lead you beyond the clouds, Where there are brilliant light, divine music, and lotuses in bloom. Yet you remain lost in the kingdom of fantasy, Since ancient times in royal capitals, bound to the wheel of rebirth still! Know you not that I have arrived? By my side, always a pink lotus blossom Waiting for you through countless incarnations, heart unwavering You promised to return, remember, my love?

Come to me just like in olden days When creation was in a quiet slumber. Through the vast cosmos, we’re in rapture In the garden of the sun and moon, a promenade among the stars…”
