Poetry has long been the language of the heart, both romantic and spiritual. This collection celebrates the eternal spiritual truth within each heart. From ancient times, this hidden essence has been symbolized by the number 108. There are 108 earthly desires, 108 human feelings, and 108 delusions, and 108 beads in the traditional meditation mala used by spiritual practitioners throughout the East. Filled with crystalline wisdom from the great poets, sages, saints, and mystics, this selection of poems is a collective expression of universal heart-filled wisdom. Spanning a wide range of cultures and civilizations - from India, to Europe, to Japan, and the Middle East - each poem in this collection offers a unique perspective about the path to awakening. The poems are ordered according to a broad interpretation of the heart-centred chakra model, guiding the reader toward realization. Ancient texts such as the "Katha Upanishads" remind us what is within the heart space 'should be longed for and realized'. This unending inner space, the spiritual heart, is spoken of as 'the lotus of the heart' and 'smaller than the smallest atom, greater than the vast spaces'. These remarkable poems create this space for the reader, offering timeless jewels of insight to spark awakening and enrich spiritual practice.
