“The way is not in the sky.
The way is in the heart.”

It’s in every one of us to be wise

Find your heart

And open up both your eyes

We can all know every thing

Without ever knowing why

It’s in every one of us by and by

Ron’s Introduction

Dear Friends,

Soon after my midlife spiritual awakening in the 1970’s, I listened (on New Dimensions Radio) to a then popular spiritual song “It’s In Every One of Us”, composed, arranged and beautifully sung by David Pomeranz. I found the lyrics and heartfelt performance to be exceptionally inspiring. They authentically communicated a simple but very profound spiritual message, about looking within to find and follow our heart.

I don’t remember ever again hearing this song for many years after the 1970’s. Then, more than thirty years later, while preparing to launch the SillySutras website, I synchronistically discovered an online video of David Pomeranz’s original performance, enhanced by inspiring visuals of the luminous eyes of diverse members of our global family.

Soon after launching SillySutras.com I posted the video, together with my “The Eyes Have It” poem below (that it inspired) about our eyes as windows of the soul.

Especially in these extraordinarily challenging times of extreme global turmoil and stress, I sincerely think that this exceptionally artistic video, with its profound spiritual message of finding peace and happiness within by following our heart, can be very helpful.

So I’ve again posted it, with refrain lyrics and amended poetry verses. And I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

The Eyes Have It
~ by Ron Rattner

The eyes are
the Sacred soul’s

windows to the world;


The eyes have it – 

They gleam with Divinity 

of Inner Infinity –

With our Sacred Heart’s

Eternal Light of LOVE.



May they ever remind us
that 
our Truth and our Way
is always within –

Not in the outer World,
But always
“In Every One of Us”.

And so shall it be!

Ven. Kalu Rinpoche (1905 – May 10, 1989)

It’s in every one of us to be wise
Find your heart
And open up both your eyes
We can all know every thing
Without ever knowing why
It’s in every one of us by and by

Dedication

May the luminosity of the foregoing music, images and writings
open our hearts to the Eternal Light in every one of us,
and help uplift each of us – like Paramahansa Yogananda – to

“Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes,
that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.”

And so may it be!
