15.4 “You are not the body You do not have a body You neither do nor enjoy You are Awareness only--the timeless Witness You are free Go in happiness” 15.5 “Attachment and aversion are attributes of the mind You are not the mind You are Consciousness itself-- changeless, undivided, free Go in happiness” ~~~~~~~~~~~ The verse is simple but its import deep We read it again until its message does seep Signalling that we surrender all we think we know And begin experiencing life afresh in stillness slow Not only this but who is the experiencer If we be a witness then who is the doer If we be not the body then we are also not the mind We are not the identity going through the grind Provisionally considering this hypothesis as a possibility We try to find a way to determine its authenticity The method is easy if we choose by simply rotating polarity Of the mind body construct in easy geniality Strange as though it may sound the truth is confirmed In deep meditation the formlessness of our awareness is discerned We are as one with the Universe in the boundless ocean of oneness Although when back to duality we do feel separateness Yes we are the witness as observing simply looking At images upon earth wherein we too are breathing In but not of the world we are at nonchalant ease Allowing the Divine to unfold life as It does please We are as such unfettered & free flowing Unclingingly embracing-imbibing-releasing Along with this orientation comes a continuum of bliss We feel aligned and centred within with nothing amiss Momentum of our past may yet bring about some oscillation We witness that too in undiminished elation We are indeed both happy as well as free With childlike exuberance going about in glee In continuity 16-December-2020
