Incredibly Blessed

I am incredibly blessed
to have been given the gift
of a guru,
of many teachers

I am incredibly blessed
to have been given the gift
of receiving
life itself as teacher

I am incredibly blessed
to receive
without feeling dependent
to accept
without feeling deficient
to respect
without feeling powerless

I am incredibly blessed
to learn from another
without feeling stupid
to admire another's strength
without feeling weak
to bow to another
without feeling small
to surrender
without feeling overpowered

I am incredibly blessed
to worship at the feet of my guru
to offer deepest devotion
to receive complete munificence
to see him in me
to see me in him
to recognize the emptiness
that moves as he and I

My heart swells
with the deepest love
and infinite gratitude
for the abundant grace
that is everything
