The Songs for Lovers are instruments for attunement and contemplation. They can be used daily as well as for occasional inspiration. Reading and rereading them may be a great support in the process of personal transformation.
The world that I witness is my mirror
When I see hate it is me that is its source
In discontent I shall find what is discontenting
In the illusion of strife I shall find war
But in Love oh miracle of miracles
I only find the beloved
Reciting the text of the Oh Abbah books gradually opens the reader to a very different universe of experience by bypassing the ratiocinations that are normal while reading. In this sense recitation becomes more like listening to music. Many of the texts shift the point of observation through which ego will gradually be loosened from its constrictive orientation.
Some are using the book as an oracle for inspiration.
This book is available in English.
This book was first published in 1997 as ‘The Book of Hours’.
