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

Verse revisited on 16-November-2021
Doing nothing, simply present
We are as are in our native element
Mindful eye of each pulsation cognisant
Body ages, memory fades, we learn
Misaligned from love, suffer, burn
Narrow cravings of ego upturn
God omnipresent, here within
Silence the void, where we begin
Feeling then, bliss throb on our skin
Ceasing to weigh and size, we vaporise
Receptive to each offered surprise
Feel oh hermit, magnetism rise
Exiting limited mind borne doership
Head-heart melds ending one-upmanship
Through day and night unending our worship
We negate not this here mind-body combine
Simply ceasing doing, with love we align
Playing earth role as God does assign
Nothing to be done, we’re bliss replete
Nodes within dance to the divine love beat
As magically rises within us, magnetic bliss heat
