~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the opaque night of agony across the extant landscape I take the ordained journey forsaken, the track out of travail through the illusive time I lose in the tortuous dismal tangle of torment. Introspection unshackles me out of the abyss of despair for the inward travel through the layers of consciousness, where the soul perceives the radiance of divine glow, illumining the contrived corridor leading to the abode of bliss. Distressed mind released from the clutch of sense-response, stilled in the pervasive quietude of silent mindfulness, finds the rays of luring light at the end of the mortal tunnel, where the beleaguered life gets the insight of unveiled wisdom. In the horizon of hope raised by the fleeting forlorn moments, flaring with the furtive flashes of heavenly spectrum, illumining the infinite span of the inner insular sky, I see the new sun rise with the sanguinity of salvation. The soul shines with astral aura in inner deep space with the blazing brilliance of thousand suns, in my self-searching odyssey at the edge of eternity I discern the internal galaxy turning me into a living light. My faith kindles the beacon of God’s benevolence, in its halo I perceive the supreme essence of the absolute. I am blessed with this precious gift of God for my total surrender with fervent devotion, Absorbing the corroding cascade of my misery I comprehend a new meaning of me, find the divine path getting paved by spiritual interior mechanism to take me on the holy way to the sanctum of nirvana.
