Wrathful like a thunder
Yet undisturbed
Like the surface of a calm ocean
Fiery like blazing fire
Yet lacking any violence
Interested in every object details like a child
Yet totally free of attachment
Just like your name Chatral
Of deep unfathomable learning
And yet completely at ease
In ordinary situations
A treasure of oral instructions
Of the highest secret
Yet openly displaying only
The practice of non-harming others
And compassion
Embodiment of the peak
Of all spiritual teachings
Yet unwilling to proffer
Even the word total perfection
Unpredictable like a wild crazy man
One day in one place
The next day far away somewhere else
Yet sane like a healthy healer
Expert in building art
Yoga rituals language
Yet utterly unpretentious
Gifted with a deep loud voice
Powerful like a bomb
And yet free of the slightest taint of
Authoritarian imposition
Your words emerging from the dept of your being
Pronounced without conceptual stimuli
Yet leaving an un-erasable mark in oneself
Your very nature is
Constant effortless
Vigil awareness
Manifesting in your eyes words
And each of every action of yours
In your presence
A disarming un-scrutable bare simplicity
Leaves no space for ego games
And reveals the mind luminous nature
A few days before your departure
Descending the steep rocky slope
Of the mountain
I found myself above a bottomless ravine
With no way to descend
And no way to return
I thought to jump into light
Right in front
As I woke up
I wondered about
The meaning of this
Then I heard of your passing into space
