Stretching sound is music,
Stretching movement is dance,
Stretching the smile is laughter,
Stretching the mind is meditation,
Stretching life is celebration,
Stretching the devotee is GOD,
Stretching feeling is ecstasy,
Stretching emptiness is bliss.

Knowledge is a burden, if it robs you of innocence;
Knowledge is a burden, if it makes you feel you are special;
Knowledge is a burden, if it gives you an idea that you are wise;
Knowledge is a burden, if it does not bring joy;
Knowledge is a burden, if it does not set you free.

Celebrate while you are alone and celebrate when you are with people.
Celebrate silence and celebrate noise.
Celebrate life and celebrate death.

Give me not thirst, if you cannot give me water,
Give me not hunger, if you cannot give me food,
Give me not joy, if you cannot share,
Give me not skills, if you cannot put them to good use,
Give me not intelligence, if I cannot perceive beyond it,
Give me not love, if I cannot serve,
Give me not desire, if they do not lead me to you,
Give me not a path, if it does not take me home,
Give me not prayer, if you will not hear them.

The sun rises and celebrates,
The sky embraces and celebrates,
Winds blow and celebrate,
Rivers flow and celebrate,
Birds sing and celebrate,
Peacocks dance and celebrate,
Trees flower and celebrate,
Buds blossom and celebrate,
We smile and serve,
Meditate and celebrate.
Enlightenment is the journey from the head back
to the heart, from words back to silence, getting
back to our innocence in spite of our intelligence.
Knowledge should lead you to the beautiful
point of 'I don't know'.
