Overflow

Not Love but Overflow of Love
Not Life but Overflow of Life

Not giving when you have
but when you know that you have only £10
in your pocket to the end of the month
Giving half to the one in need

Not loving the one that loves you
but loving the one that annoys you
angers you, provokes you
Loving knowing that there is no return

Not reaching out when you know you had enough
but when you are sure that you are not sure
that you will get to the end of the month yourself
If it takes a pain from someone else

Not doing when you can but when you know
you can not because of 101 things that
plotted against you because
It meant a lot to the one who asked

Not Light but Overflow of Light
Not Love but Overflow of Love

NICE,
YOUR VIEWS REFLECTS YOUR THOUGHTS. ACTUALLY IT IS ESSENSE OF SPIRITUAL TEACHING. IN FACT OSHO ALSO TOLD US ABOUT IT. I M JOURNALIST FROM JALGAON (MAHARASHTRA, INDIA). BEING LONG TIME DESCIPLE OF OSHO I REGULARLY MEDITATE. IN DEEP MEDITATIVE STAGE ANYONE CAN FEEL SAME PHILANTROPIC MOMENTS. I ENJOYED YOUR POEM. HOPE, YOU WILL POST MORE BEAUTIFUL POEMS. THANKS.
