Ambedo Amigo

Shifting into silence, letting go of lower mind
Hitherto ego bound attention seems unfettered
We wonder what delightful pastures it will find
Intuitively going where rose petals are scattered

Meditational attention, poised without anticipation
Yet retains in the background a hum magnetic 
Mind body hollowed out in a mode of cessation
Osmotically imbibes subtle vibrations eclectic 

Guna Rajas rested, the polarities latent resident
Are Tamas as inertia and Sattva pristine stillness 
The universe responds as of our innate sentiment 
Joy or melancholy as chosen by consciousness 

Cognising images, we draw in memory imagery
An instinctive reflex mind body based response
Thus unless the ambedo arises from pleasantry 
We may be entrapped in emotions left to chance

As we be so we are and as we are we do become
Thus it is not in the melody or vacuity per say
Rather upon aligning inner and outer with love one
Do we shift to the centre, thereby ceasing to sway

What we are searching for not a fixed coordinate
An essence of presence whose fragrance elusive
It is only in resistanceless flow of stillness sedate
In connecting, not grasping, we feel a calm pensive

Shift from ego separateness to interconnectedness 
Wherein we recognise unity in seeming diversity
Being but the beginning of vibrant spacial wholeness 
Until we directly see the deep underlying reality

What then is ambedo but a letting go off of all bondage
Our eternal awareness choosing to reclaim divinity
With identity vaporised, there being no fear to assuage
As one with oneness we throb with bliss in continuity
