Notes About The Poem

Ashtavakra Gita 1:3

“You are not earth, water, fire or air Nor are you empty space Liberation is to know yourself as Awareness alone the Witness of these” As the kundalini ascends From root to sacral to plexus to heart Either straight up or through bends Even as breath flows in and does depart There are stirrings within from a source enigmatic We see no difference between form & formlessness And whilst within form we are enlivened & ecstatic We feel within our heart the Absolute awareness We know too at this stage of energy centres above Which may endow us with enhanced enableability Yet having awakened at the heart we know only love Our awareness as love is our being in certainty Knowing love alone our awareness thus free flowing Observing & witnessing happenings upon earth We are as we are in sync with love so blossoming With blissful joy and an equal eye in bubbling mirth Epilogue: What’s love got to do with witnessing & liberation one may ask Well says the witness when we truly know ourself and so align The knowing is in the warmth of divine love within which we bask Both receiving & transmitting exalted pulsations of the Divine (19-August-2019) ~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse revisited on 22-October-2021 Here we are We no longer spar With matters of loss or gain Equal, as of now, be it sun or rain True it is, kundalini has risen Yet did we truly wisen Sushumna ignited Heart delighted Seat of our soul That makes us whole Beckons us from the heart Where bliss ignition renewal starts We sail through earthy illusions Tranquil , free from confusion Revelations intermittent Yet heart is content Both light and sound Within and around resound Reverberating like soundless thunder As we imbibe bliss elixir in rapturous wonder Teleported in a continuum of bliss delight Renewing within through day and night What to say, touched by God’s hand Open secret we alone understand

I would like to spend the day listening to your brain think "We are as we are in sync with love so blossoming With blissful joy and an equal eye in bubbling mirth" this is WONDERFUL! A FAVE for me!
