the river of love

.

Time, nature, necessity, accident,
Elements, energy, intelligence —
are but dreams of the conscious Self, the Love
dwelling in the one heart.

The world is a wheel of consciousness
turning within the one heart,
merging and emerging in
the river of Love.

The self is present in the one heart
in the one love
as butter is in cream
conscious


—Lessons from The Shvetashvatara Upanishad
Eknath Easwaran version
