Poem
“I am not the body, nor is the body my possession— I am Awareness itself.” One who realizes this for certain has no memory of things done or left undone. There is only the Absolute.” We now enter still waters deep Rejecting all knowledge we so far chose to keep The reason we invariably tend to self destruct Is owing to sole dependence upon the mind body construct Whilst we are endowed with the power of discrimination We choose to be blind to reality being caught up in stagnation Though knowing that in this world of duality everything has polarity Only the few detached rotate images viewing their sphericality Simply stated to exit the evident confinement We need to bring about inner alignment In thought & word & deed Employing the mind-body as our steed First we must recognise the coordinates of reference Before plotting path of preference Let us then begin by taking the opposing view That the mind body is the all with thought senses & sinews We immediately see that it is a cage bound in narrowness and limitation Our divine connection through conscience promising boundless bliss & elation Seeing this polarity we have on one hand the external ephemeral And on the other the unknown but seemingly limitless internal eternal We know we are awareness independent of senses and thought But we are now swamped by fears & desires all ego begot Our dilemma then akin to a drug addict In denial of truth even if succinct Awareness survives death of bodily form As does Divine Love felt within as magnetism warm The truth then clear yet the realisation elusive For as long as we dwell in symbols and illusions allusive No sooner we choose to internalise our consciousness We reclaim our freedom as formless awareness All we need to do is to use our free will To exit delusion by keeping our attention still Allowing our cup of joy to overspill (20-August-2019) ~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse revisited on 08-November-2021 Innate vibrant bubbling innocence Dwelling in fleeting world of transience Oscillates awhile between joy and sorrow With regrets of past and fears of the morrow Until so reaching the point of exhaustion Whereupon enters void of cessation Looking towards God for a miracle Ecstatic bliss renewal continual Abiding in thought rested stillness Our emptiness magnetised in fullness Head melds with heart with love aligned Soma nectar flows through paths assigned We cease to be a doer knowing God the mover Layer by layer delusion drops, our thoughts slower We do nothing yet the doing is done anyway As to pulsations divine we gently sway We are the created and God the creator We see truth clearly, needing no translator Mind-body but an instrument for life experience We stand erect heeding subtle voice of conscience The false falls away as ego does slowly vaporise Pristine presence delights in offered surprise Nestled in tranquil calm, we feel complete Suffused from head to toe, bliss replete
