All will come again into its strength:
the fields undivided, the waters undammed,
the trees towering and the walls built low.
And in the valleys, people as strong and varied as the land.
And no churches where God
is imprisoned and lamented
like a trapped and wounded animal.
The houses welcoming all who knock
and a sense of boundless offering
in all relations, and in you and me.
No yearning for an afterlife, no looking beyond,
no belittling of death,
but only longing for what belongs to us
and serving earth, lest we remain unused.
~ Ranier Maria Rilke ~

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and inspiring poem! This truly made my day much brighter,thank you.
Truly it is a wonderful poem. Only thing , if it happens actually then this world will be the heaven, I think it was like that earlier. Only greediness turned this world upside down.
Sanmugan,
as I am a Westerner I appreciate passion as much as compassion. The tension and friction of the evolutionary impulse as much as anything which embraces opposites and is part of opposites.
As Shakespeare said:
“And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
And as my former teacher Adi Da, who had just died (Mahasamadhi) Said:
“Such a comunication is fundamentally a radical approach to all things harmonious as inharmonious. Its prior even to any synthesis. its is a real process…”
that is lovely!
Adding this one from Rilke from Integral Options Blogspot
Sonnets to Orpheus,
Second Part, Sonnet 29
Silent friend of many distances, feel
how space dilates with each breath of yours.
Among the rafters of dark belfries peal
your own sweet tones. Your predators
will grow strong upon such fare.
Know transformation in its varied sign.
Which experience produces most despair?
If drinking offend, transform yourself to wine.
Be, in this immensity of night,
the magic force at your sense's crossroad;
the purpose of their mysterious plan.
And though you fade from earthly sight,
declare to the silent earth: I flow.
To the rushing water say: I am.”
Yes, I agree with the real process. Sometimes it becomes unbearable while looking at the world events.
About your teacher 'Adi Da' , I visited your book mark but I could not find out anything further. If possible , if you could provide a brief note so that people like me would be able to know more.
Thanks.
Again Thanks for the full details with regard to Ranier Maria Rilke is also available there. This is another blessing from God.
You can gogle lots about Adi Da. Ealier I posted a link about “BAsket of Tolerance” in your “Ancient Wisdom ” Section.
This is what I blogged at Zaadz/Gaia:
