Dedication
Through some freak of nature
An urge has awakened in me,
To be a lover and a servant
Of those who long to be free.
This work is not to be clever,
Preach, convert or mould.
It’s a way of stringing words and pointing
To the truth that can’t be told.
So I bow to the all the enlightened ones,
And humbly offer this story.
May all beings be guided homeward,
Embracing their destined glory.

5|Page
A man stood still beside a city street,
And watched the confusion and disarray.
He could see that he was lost in it too,
But he knew no other way.
He went along with culture and media,
Like everyone else seemed to do,
But an indefinable longing disturbed his mind,
Carving a deeper and deeper groove.
Fear and repression had overtaken him,
Though he pretended to remain aloof.
He reminisced about the feeling of joyous abandon
That had pervaded him as a youth.
He could see others were struggling and hurting,
Trapped in worlds they had designed.
“If I don’t know how to free myself,” he thought,
“How can I help mankind?”
Sadly he wiped away a tear,
And wondered whether it was just too late,
To turn against this entrenched way of living,
And reclaim a happier state.
6|Page
All this guy wanted was happiness.
The search for it brought only pain.
He thought working harder would solve the problem,
But the results were still the same.
No matter what he did,
There was always more to do.
To please others or himself was an endless job,
Because there was always something new.
Constant barrages of external stimuli,
As well as bombardment by the brain.
His thinking mind was overwhelming,
And it was driving him insane.
7|Page
To be human is to know this suffering,
He knew that for sure.
But why was it happening,
And could there be a cure?
8|Page
“Surely,” he thought, the answer started with him,
Because there were always two voices in his head.
One of them talked about the past incessantly,
The other talked about the future instead.
So the man decided to end this chattering,
And used a variety of means,
To try and release himself from this madness,
However they just added to his disease.
Sex and drugs worked temporarily,
And were quite a lot of fun.
Drinking and gambling offered no contentment,
And he soon found himself back at square one.
So he stood on his head,
He did not eat.
He did not lie down,
He did not sleep.
This guy ran until he fell over,
Then flipped, rolled and hopped.
He engaged in every activity to his physical limit,
But these voices would not stop.
9|Page
In exhaustion the man sat down
Under a giant old tree.
His mind became more quiet and peaceful,
And the expression on his face, serene.
He vowed to sit there,
And not to move,
Until he’d found a remedy for this fever,
That all his antics had failed to soothe.
“Acquisition and activity cannot quench
The longings of my heart.
The architect of my psychosis is this insatiable mind.”
He had a place to start.
His body stiffened as he sat there,
It itched and prickled and pained.
“Now I’m not even moving,” he lamented,
“And the suffering still remains.”
Being tormented by the mind and body,
Had brought him to the brink,
But in the depths of this misery a lightning bolt struck,
And he understood the missing link:
10 | P a g e
“Interaction with the world causes bodily sensations.
Reacting to them grooves the mind!”
This was the nucleus of every disturbance,
And he used this awareness as a guide.
When a sensation was pleasant, he wanted more,
If unpleasant, he wanted it gone.
At the very base level, craving and aversion were ruling,
And helplessly he was being carried along.
Watching this changing phenomenon within himself,
From one moment to the next,
He objectively overruled reaction and judgment,
And began cooling their volcanic effect.
Clearly the ignorance of why it was happening,
Had been the most destructive groove.
So with love the crevices of delusion were patiently filled,
And even deep canyons smoothed.
Sheer perseverance had bestowed the insight
Of suffering’s deepest cause.
Lovegroover emerged spontaneously as a result
Of apprehending these natural laws.
11 | P a g e
People would walk past and stare at him,
Because he had gone slightly wild.
‘Have a bath hippie,’ someone shouted.
Lovegroover only smiled.
Some teenagers sniggered,
‘What a bum and a loser,’
But nothing could faze
That intrepid Lovegroover.
Children and animals came to play around him,
Some people brought him fruit to eat.
The days were hot and the nights were cold,
Still he did not move from his seat.
12 | P a g e
When Lovegroover attached to a thought,
He found it would stay.
And discovered if he had no reaction,
It would just dissolve away.
He saw that all thoughts had come from nowhere,
Whether memories or anticipation.
To nowhere they returned without any reality,
It was just imagination!
He winced in horror at what he’d done in the past,
In hatred and in greed,
To help perpetuate the lie
Of whom he thought himself to be.
Lovegroover’s mind had been a jailer,
A torturer and a curse.
To be a fraudulent something was misery,
But the thought of being nothing was worse.
13 | P a g e
In moments when all thought subsided,
Peace seemed everywhere.
Consistently he brought himself back to that ground,
Silent, calm and aware.
Some thoughts had been more persistent than others,
And even these eventually passed.
Stillness reigned in Lovegroover’s mind.
The door to freedom had opened at last.
In that darkness so desolate,
That emptiness so void,
All vestiges of ignorance
Were finally destroyed.
A torrent of love began engulfing him,
From a cosmic river deep and wide.
Saturating him so completely,
That even death could not survive.
14 | P a g e
He was nothing that could be pointed to,
Beyond anything that could be contained.
Formless and encompassing were hints at an identity,
If indeed one still remained.
Without concepts of past or future,
His ego totally resigned,
Into an endless moment, so perfect and beautiful,
That had been there all the time.
There was nothing left to do,
His boat had made the other shore.
All his questions had been eradicated,
And he wondered why no more.
Lovegroover smiled and bowed in reverence,
To the powers that lay beyond.
The love from nature that guided him,
Was really him all along.
15 | P a g e
There was just the morning star,
Blossoms falling in the breeze,
Dawn breaking over the horizon,
And Lovegroover under the tree.
Calmly abiding with nature.
The supreme reality.
A clear, compassionate wisdom,
Embracing totality.
If he talked about what he had realized,
Would anyone understand what he meant?
Seers of the past encountered the same dilemma,
Still, he resolved to make an attempt.
16 | P a g e
Before he could move, a woman came,
And sat at Lovegroover’s feet.
She was very upset,
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
‘Lovegroover, I want to be happy,’ she sobbed,
‘The beauty of youth to never age.
I never want my family to be sick or suffer,
And have wealth that does not fade.’
Lovegroover smiled
In a curious fashion.
Patiently he listened,
Full of compassion.
17 | P a g e
For a while Lovegroover sat motionless,
With empathy twinkling in his eyes.
Then straight from the heart, words began resonating,
To his own complete surprise:
“Attachment to these thoughts
Brings the anguish to your mind.
Seeing clearly that all worldly things change,
Will free you every time.
You are clinging to objects that are transient,
Craving for conditions that pass away.
Overlooking the eternal part in you
Is blinding you from the way.
Dispel the darkness,
By allowing this spark of light.
Turn your attention within,” he smiled,
“And trust nature to put it right.”
18 | P a g e
“All your distress can be extinguished,
You need not even doubt it.
If you really wish to end your tears,
Here is one way to go about it:
When desire comes to tempt you,
With awareness keep the mind at bay.
When hatred comes to see you,
With love send it away.
As illusion comes to delude you,
Smile and give it no attention.
Laugh at the amazing tricks of the mind,
And see them as your own invention.
Every moment use this umbrella,
To shelter yourself from rain.
Eventually all the clouds will pass,
And only clear sky shall remain.”
19 | P a g e
Before long people came from everywhere,
Just to be in his presence.
Lovegroover told them wonderful stories,
And pointed to their innermost essence.
“Just behave yourself,
And do what is good.
This is the heart
Of Grooverhood.
Everything happens naturally
By purifying the mind.
It’s all a matter of endeavor,
Patiently and rightly applied.
This is what you’re here for,
And it’s all you have to do.
All the love in the universe
Is not apart from you.”
20 | P a g e
“Make a lamp of yourself for others,
Become a serving angel of all.
Selflessly invest time and energy
Following natural laws.
We have lost touch with nature,
And at the same time our own.
Stop, breathe and smile from your heart,
This will bring the mind back home.
Refrain from hurting anyone or anything,
Cease clouding the mind.
Being unconcerned for the way of the worldly
Will make you groovy all the time.”
21 | P a g e
“Whatever thoughts and beliefs you’ve accepted,
Without any investigation,
Leave you unknowingly caught between pleasure and pain,
And keep you revolving in frustration.
If you wish to know why you’re suffering,
Locate these attachments of the mind.
It may not be a pretty picture to start with,
But this inquiry works every time.
If you don’t understand how the mind is working,
You won’t even know you’re in prison!
Awaken to this crucial point,
With awareness and precision.”
22 | P a g e
“People who seem to live a groovy life,
Are also bound in this worldly game.
Suffering is common to everyone,
And so the remedy will be the same.
Through countless ages we’ve been tormented,
Without ever questioning why.
So much needless hardship, created and endured,
Now we all can turn the tide.”
23 | P a g e
Whether a king or a beggar,
His teaching was never reserved.
Lovegroover’s only query to himself was:
“How will I love and serve?”
He showed everyone a breathing practice,
And how to understand the peace he’d found.
Lovegroover discussed some steps to be taken,
As people sat amongst him on the ground.
“Patiently watch what you are doing,
Observe the natural breath.
Treat sensations of the body with equanimity,
And nature will do the rest.
Keep returning to the ground of being,
The part of you that’s always aware.
It’s silent and subtle, but you’ll know it instantly,
By the bliss of it when you’re there.
The simple is sometimes hard to believe,
We’re so used to the complicated.
This is a practice in which all succeed,
Because your existence cannot be debated.”
24 | P a g e
“Through attachment to the body you concoct personality.
Its’ source is the mental notion of ‘I’.
Mistakenly you believe this is who you are,
‘Yo! This is me, and this is mine!’
Experience the relationship of body and mind,
Learn to release their intimate bond.
Then whatever arises, you will have your own insight,
To go through, around, beyond.
Nothing is yours, it’s nature’s,
What you are is already free.
The awareness of just being is bliss.
Meditation is the key.”
25 | P a g e
“My words are only pointers,” he added,
With a beaming, childlike grin.
“You have to embark on your own adventure,
For the timeless source within.
Remember I am always with you,
And you will never feel alone.
This is the only journey worth going on,
Because it’s the one that takes you home.
All your lifetimes of exploration,
Of thinking, acting and chasing,
Will be lost in a peace unfathomable,
And a love so all-embracing.
Such are the laws of nature,
And they are not separate from you.
By casting aside all that is false,
You are bound to see what’s true.”
26 | P a g e
Through direct experience backed,
By an unconditional guarantee,
The vigilant ones retraced their steps
To joyous immortality.
Lovegroover pointed everyone home,
Until the end of his earthly days:
“Grooving love isn’t anything special,
It’s just the natural way.”
How can gratitude be more adequately shown,
What happiness can be greater?
Than for you to rest eternally now,
In the endless love of nature.

The Sutras
Of
Joyous Abandon
(The Sayings of Lovegroover)
BY
Sahaja Makashi
29 | P a g e
If you did not exist,
The universe could not possibly be.
Before anything under heaven, you are.
This understanding will set you free.
____________________________________
If you believe you are this body-mind,
Then something has gone wrong.
This moment, sense your own existence,
Here is the door beyond.
______________________________________
I make everything beautiful,
I make everything real.
Then I make all my own suffering!
Aha! The truth revealed.
______________________________________
Motivated by base desires,
Intoxicated by the primal dance,
To do, to have, to become,
You do not stand a chance.
__________________________________________
To realize you’re here is a miracle in itself,
With that, half the work is done.
Now groove past the dividing mind
To see everything as one.
______________________________________
All that can be conceived
Is a mirror-like reflection,
Of the expansive power to manifest
Out of total subjection.
______________________________________
30 | P a g e
Everything that was,
Everything that will be,
Are lost in this loving moment.
Awareness is the key.
_______________________________________
The priceless understanding,
Always given for free.
The ancient habit of identification,
Lost irretrievably.
_____________________________________
This is all I had to do,
And all I had to see.
The vastness of the universe
Is not apart from me.
__________________________________________
So much wasted energy,
So much wasted time.
Go beyond your body first,
Then go beyond the mind.
___________________________________________
Beyond the body,
Beyond the mind,
All sensations overcome,
All illusions pacified.
_________________________________________
A reason to go beyond the mind cannot be understood,
Until its’ hold is clearly seen.
Constantly remembering to redirect your attention
Reveals the waking drama as a dream.
____________________________________________
31 | P a g e
What is beyond the senses?
What is beyond the mind?
Oh, it’s you!
And you’ve been there all the time.
___________________________________________
Stand back and watch That which resides,
And That which stands alone.
Unimpeded, uninhibited,
Relax, you’re already at home.
_____________________________________________
Holding any thought is bondage,
Surrender and let them go.
Just be the silent observer
Of this ephemeral show.
____________________________________
I was never born,
I will never die.
The pure awareness, immutable,
Transcending space and time.
______________________________________
All you ever see is you,
In stillness and silence it dawns.
You are eternal and cannot die,
Because you were never born.
________________________________________
Goodbye desire,
Goodbye fear.
Life still flows on regardless,
And it is THAT I hold so dear.
_______________________________________
32 | P a g e
You are the origin and the source,
Creating and erasing.
All the love in the universe,
Grounded and embracing.
________________________________________
Reality is always with you,
To see this is your mission.
All separation is self imposed delusion,
True being is unconditioned.
___________________________________________
The silence behind the sound,
The changeless amongst the change.
The stillness between all movement,
You are always the same.
_________________________________________
The world is a beautiful rainbow,
Seen through the prism of the mind.
There’s only one light, it’s you,
Shining eternally behind.
_____________________________________________
Castles are built with imagination,
Of which memory is the sand.
All your brilliant designs are washed away.
One instant to understand.
_____________________________________________
Unconditioned being is the ground
Of waking, sleep and dream.
Find and hold what does not change,
And there reality directly seen.
___________________________________________
33 | P a g e
Detachment, dispassion,
Then the ultimate release.
To wake, dream and sleep
In heavenly peace.
___________________________________________
Closer than a thought,
Both external and internal.
The one existence, all pervading,
Ancient and eternal.
____________________________________________
There is nothing new to be gained,
Only ignorance must be removed.
Investigate; you are not a person,
This is the way to groove.
_________________________________________
Universally you reside,
This body is nature’s own.
There are no other persons,
This world is not your home.
_________________________________________
Nothing can touch your core,
No matter what the event.
You are pure spirit, harmonic awareness,
A billion, trillion percent.
________________________________________
All you wish to find,
All you want to see,
Everything you are,
Is not apart from me.
_____________________________________
34 | P a g e
Discard all beliefs,
And patiently start again.
There was no personality to begin with,
There won’t be one in the end.
______________________________________
Egos are conditioned illusions,
And on investigation are tamed.
All form may be different,
But consciousness, one and the same.
_____________________________________
Deceived by appearances,
You don’t apprehend your natural state.
See unity in diversity,
Subtle yet innate.
__________________________________
You are always looking outside
For the happiness found only within.
There cannot be renewal without total destruction.
With nothing you are filled to the brim.
___________________________________
Not the old,
Not the new.
Just whatever always is,
Will be the end of the search for you.
___________________________________________
Investigation of the false,
Leads to abidance in the true.
This is your only duty,
And all you have to do.
_______________________________________
35 | P a g e
You are everything,
You are everywhere,
Absolutely limitless,
Immovable, embracing, aware.
_________________________________
The unadorned, the constant,
Right before our eyes.
And although there is no signal,
Boldly recognize.
____________________________________________
You don’t have to do anything,
No-one’s keeping score.
You don’t have to be anyone,
Or be enslaved anymore.
_________________________________
Ego is a pimp,
Let love be your master.
I compassionately warn you,
All else is disaster.
_____________________________________
Desiring love will blind and bind,
Then attachment will shatter.
Impermanence is meant to wake you up.
This is the heart of the matter.
______________________________
Do you think you can thwart your destiny
With intellect, possessions and wealth?
You will still be barren,
What you search for is yourself.
_________________________________
36 | P a g e
Causes are innumerable,
Results you cannot control.
Security in a transitory world? Fallacy!
Just be, and behold.
____________________________________
If you know who you are,
You can truly love another.
Clinging is not love my friend,
It’s just attachment brother.
_____________________________________
Once you know the ground,
You can always return.
Without it you’ll continue stumbling
With objects none of your concern.
____________________________________
No name, no form, no attributes,
No body, no mind, no self.
You are the heart of being,
Nothing, nothing else.
__________________________________
See all that manifests as transient,
Realize how long it’s taken
For you to have this opportunity.
In this precious moment, awaken.
_____________________________________
Go, go, go beyond,
This is the sacred dharma.
Beyond that is the wilderness,
And the end of all the drama.
_____________________________________
37 | P a g e
Disrobe and stand naked,
From all that mind discerns.
The next step is the wilderness,
From which only a thread returns.
_______________________________________
Identify with who is seeing,
Rather than what is seen.
Being no longer personally involved,
Will wake you from the dream.
__________________________
Wakeful sleep,
The golden mean.
The harmony and transcendence
Of the seer and the seen.
________________________________________
Conflict in life will teach you
There is so much to unlearn.
Nothing ever happens,
You have no concerns.
____________________________________
In the end you realize,
That you really already knew.
Seers were pointing the way all the time,
You just didn’t know what was true.
____________________________________
The beckoning of the natural state,
The silence of the expanse.
The eloquent words can only point,
For one moment take a glance.
_____________________________________________
38 | P a g e
When everything is traced to its’ origin
There’s nothing left to stand on.
Effortlessly, peacefully,
Joyously abandon.
_________________________________________
You need nothing to be happy,
Causes cannot make it arise.
You are always blissfully dancing,
But ego thinks otherwise.
________________________________________
Beyond conceptualization,
Beyond all belief.
The priceless understanding
Is spontaneous relief.
____________________________________________
No location,
Oceanic.
Nowhere, everywhere,
Blissfully dynamic.
_______________________________________________
Looking away from the mind,
Outside its’ conceptual stance.
Waves of love resonate and manifest as
Poetry from the expanse.
___________________________________________
Like a singer who loves to sing,
And a traveller who loves to move.
As a dancer loves to dance,
Lovegroover just loves to groove.
________________________________________
39 | P a g e
Surrendered to the nature,
A splendor for all to see.
In every moment, absolutely loved,
And absolutely free.
40 | P a g e
You are not this or that,
Not the doer or the mover.
Simplicity is the supreme teacher,
Love baby, Lovegroover.
41 | P a g e
42 | P a g e

May all beings be compassionate, may all beings share the compassion.

43 | P a g e
44 | P a g e
Why Lovegroover?
Cultivating awareness is the most important skill you can learn in this
lifetime. This innate and primary power is the key to understanding and
apprehending your true nature. It is the greatest gift you can ever give
yourself.
With this gift you will recognize clearly that awareness and love are not
different or separate; they always come or are absent together, and are the
background of every thought and action. Reflect on this deeply and from every
angle.
You will see for yourself that awareness includes not only love, but happiness,
peace, truth, compassion, fulfillment and freedom within it too. These features
of wholeness are characterized by no thought and no craving. This sense is
never apart from you, it’s just that the habit pattern of the mind is thinking
and craving, and so these intrinsic, beautiful aspects of yourself are blurred
from view. Awareness brings the clarity needed to see the spell you are under
and see reality as it is.
At times we don’t feel happy or loved because we are wishing or expecting it
to come from outside, and when it doesn’t come, we go searching for it. In
western society we are conditioned at a young age to seek love and happiness
in this way.
To look away from external things to bring satisfaction and redirect your
attention within is a major turning point. Rest assured, it is a natural
progression, and there’s no need to be frightened. This is the path of return.
We are embroiled in the mental grooves of the past and these habitual ways of
thinking leave us at the mercy of cause and effect, gain and loss, pleasure and
pain and all the other dualisms. This is the realm of the mind.
Through the filter of genes, conditioning and memory, the mind issues
thoughts that constitute our phenomenal experience: the ego, the body, all the
associated attachments and the destructive sense of separatism from nature
and each other.
45 | P a g e
Taking the mistaken identity of the body and mind to be who you are, adding
the identification with experiences as happening to ‘you’ breeds this very
human feeling of being limited (mortal). This is the deepest groove of all.
Through constant repetition we groove this inaccuracy in memory and then
attempt to understand ourselves and the world with our mistaken outlook.
This constitutes the ‘bondage’ spiritual traditions talk of. The source of this
‘bondage’ is our incapacity to see how our problems are arising and the
unconscious attachment to transitory aspects of manifestation.
Some initial guidance in meditation to focus awareness is absolutely essential
for most westerners. Unless you spend some time investigating awareness,
the being you are, understanding the hold the mind has over you is unfeasible.
How and why things manifest in your life will remain guess work and so an
escape from your self-created turmoil will be impossible. Following a belief
system will not help to uncover and dissolve the deep grooves hidden in the
psyche.
Some grooves take longer than others to dissolve because your attachments to
some experiences, beliefs and objects can be very deep rooted. The human
intellect has developed over millennia, not to integrate with a computer, but
to be able to notice this power that is with you all the time, trace
consciousness to its’ source and realize your true nature.
Instead of continually grooving the mind with falsity, use your intelligence
and discernment to investigate what the truth really is. There will be
resistance from the mind in the beginning, so be prepared for it. Inevitably
nature takes over and does all the work for you because love is the way of
nature, and you cannot stop it.
As you do investigate, naturally and without effort, you truly learn to love. Not
some things and not others, this is the hallmark of attachment, but kind
acceptance toward everyone and everything equally because the mental
barriers of separation begin being dismantled.
46 | P a g e
No one can share their understanding with you, pointing is all that can be
done by any teacher.
It is by your own direct experience and through your own exploration that you
will be able to see the way the mind is working, intimately understand your
conditioning, the process through which all phenomena arise, and ultimately
who you are. As everyone’s conditioning is particular to them, so is their path
out of it. This is an individual quest to dissolve individuality.
Enlightenment is not something new to be acquired, it’s just removing our
misconceptions using the strongest force in the universe, which in the end you
will find to be nothing but yourself. This gift is innately yours already; you
only have to allow it some space in your life.
If you can remember to bring the mind back to the present every time it runs
away into the past or the future, you are cultivating freedom (bhavana
vimukti) from the mind’s habit of projecting things that are not real and then
attaching to them.
All the fulfillment, happiness, love, peace and freedom that for so long was
mistakenly sought outside in the manifestation (thanks to the mind) is within
you, just as all the masters have said since time immemorial.
And so “Lovegroover” came into being spontaneously to remind me of the
ground already covered. May it be a helpful reminder for you too. Some other
synonyms would be Joyous Abandon, Blissful Dancer or Prema Bhavana.
Lovegroover just sounded better, and to groove awareness/love in every
moment of life is the practice (if any) to be cultivated.
All and nothing, all at once.
