Ashtavakra Gita Verse 13-2

“The body is strained by practices
The tongue tires of scripture
The mind numbs with meditation
Detached from all this,
I live as I am”


The matrix of in-form body consciousness 
Employs limited bandwidths of vibration
Perceiving with defective awareness
Interpreting in patterned grooves of stagnation 

Yoga, meditation, service or devotion
The rituals and forms but offer hypnotic solace
They offer temporary peace by reinforcing ego delusion 
Falling way too short of connecting with Divine grace

The root of all limitation
Lies in association with the mind body combine
If we be as we are in childlike elation
With the pulsations of the Divine we automatically align

The flow thus being in the present moment continuum 
Wherein we are as we are complete
In stillness observing movement of the maya pendulum 
Always with the Divine nectar replete
