Hymns to The Planets

Saturn 

You say you want happiness,
but do you know what it is?
suffering is the path!
To get what we really want.

Jupiter

Just below the surface, just behind the mask, distorted by emotion,
lies its essence - innocent clean, tasteful,
the great ocean of life knows no past nor future, north nor south,
the river rushes to the sea, rises above into the sky, and rains down for you and me,
in all its vastness it knows all, but not Good and Evil,
just honey-bliss

Mars 

"Only the flame can melt away the gross and release the spirit from its bondage",
Like a candle - this understanding is an attribute of the wise,
"The gross matterial is the potential of the flame ; hence there is no bondage only fuel",
Like a star - this understanding is an attribute of the rare souls who go to great lengths to defeat the ego.

Venus

Love is a flower, a fragrant one that is,
It is what brings all things into existence,
Can't you see that every movement in the universe is motivated by love,
If you can for even a moment, what do you need to think about?

Mercury 

Balance is the key, you see,
Its easy as 1-2-3,
We'd all live so happily,
See "Me" in "You" and "You" in "Me"

Sun and Moon

What is light without a mirror,
What is space without stars,
Every story must begin and end,
A wise author writes the ending first.

The Beyond

Just beyond the mind there is a place,
Silent, Motionless, Free - mere words to reflect its mystery,
Seamlessly united - Spirit and Matter - desire there is none,
Why would anyone want to leave?,
Is there anything greater?
