This poem is dedicated to my wife Verena and daughter Hanna, who inspired me on this journey; to our fantastic teachers Silva, Mario, Steve, and Daniel, who opened new windows in my life; to the wonderful Mandali team around Prema, who created a unique place to find inner peace; and to every wonderful person of the Mandali Retreat from March 25-27, 2022, who allowed for this lifetime experience.  

If my soul could found deep ground, 

where everything begins, 

the source from which everything springs, 

It could find it here: Mandali 

If my searching spirit 

could arrive at its destiny, 

Where everything comes to rest 

and is simple in silent harmony, 

Then it would arrive here: Mandali 

If my heart could find a place where it unite forever 

With you, the flowers, the trees, the bees, 

The stars and the All, 

Then here: Mandali 

If I dream of a place 

Where woman and man 

unfold humanity and love to full blossom, 

to feel sympathy for every creature 

living together with mindfullness in joy and peace, 

I dream of you: Mandali 

But we are travelers of life, 

its steps don’t know any beginning, 

We shall pass cheerfully through room after room 

To none as to a home cling, 

The spirit of the world 

does not want to bind and limit us, 

He wants to lift us step by step, to widen us. 

But for a moment of eternity, 

We become one, arrive at the ground, 

Find the spring and the real meaning of life. 

For a moment we dive in, 

newly born we dissolve to infinity — 

and a radiant breath of enlightenment 

falls onto our lives, 

Through you, Mandali, 

And on the magic of every beginning, 

That protects us and helps us to live.
