17.20
“The sage is free
His empty mind no longer projects
delusion, dreaming, dullness
This state is indescribable”
Stagnation being death
What then is freedom from stagnation
No mind no desire no sorrow no stealth
The pulse of Divine Love blissful elation
Empty mind being devoid of anticipating
The anticipation of delusion seeking
The subtle magnetism within rising
Ineffable bliss in permanence renewing
The being-ness thus in the now continuum
Alive & aglow in childlike innocence
Devoid of ego borne residuum
We transcend boundaries of in-form sentience

Verse 17.20 revisited on 19-December-2021
Once we choose
To sidestep ego ruse
Shifting from the external
Into the vibrant void internal
Abiding in thought rested quietude
Stillness stretched with fortitude
Mind is then but an instrument
Consequently ego decadent
Thus, devoid of desire
Our heart all afire
No one within remains
Save presence unstained
Magnetism pervades our form
Felt as rapturous bliss currents warm
We may call this divine assistance
To exhume residue of resistance
Thus we remain God fixated
Through day and night elated
Boundaries blur, void and we one
We do nothing, yet all doings are done
Inner polarities of our senses awake
Kundalini energy gives us a shake
We thus be in dynamic stillness
Entwined with That oneness
In but not of the world, we yawn
Each heartbeat ushers a new dawn
