about

Come Home Sooner is an invitation to notice when you’ve fallen into over-identification with mind-made stories. It’s saying come back to that place you know, to your true nature, ever-present. I learned the chant at a retreat with Adyashanti in late 2013 and the lyrics emerged from that stillness. (Gill on harmonies).

lyrics

Each time you leave, your mind wanders a while
Come back when you’re ready, you’ll find my warm smile
Come back to that place you’re starting to know
Sooner and sooner, each time you go.

Soon you will notice, you’re never away
That will be a most magical day
Meantime abide in the stillness you feel
Each minute you notice you’ve stepped off the wheel.

Gate gate
Para gate
Para sam gate
Bodhi Svaha.

The chant is the Prajna Paramita Mantra, from the Buddhist Heart Sutra translated by Adyashanti in the following way:

Prajna: Wisdom Paramita: Perfected

Gate: Gone, arrived, departed from suffering to liberation
Para: Beyond, utmost reach, the other side of
Sam: Together, complete, unity
Bodhi: Awakened, Buddha nature
Svaha: Hallelujah! Well spoken! So be it!
