18.28 “Beyond stillness, beyond distraction, the great soul thinks nothing of liberation or bondage Having seen the universe is void-- even though it seems to exist-- he is God” Image and imagelessness The vibrant void of Oneness Renewal of the Ohm reverberation Manifestation and non-manifestation Been there done that Not in fiction but in fact If illumined we must feel it in our bones Else not real and therefore a clone We rest our case There being no disgrace We in innocence Do admit our ignorance (23-August-2019) ~~~ Verse revisited on 28-January-2022 How still is our stillness Even in the void of oneness If there be trace of separateness Perceiving without presupposing Knowing but without judging Discerning by intuiting Tranquil and content In both ascent and descent Vibrant in the divine bliss current Graced to behold God face to face Pure heart imbibing His grace No puzzles left to lace God alone is, all that is Source of aliveness, pure bliss One consciousness both that and this Divine dance of separation and union Witnessed from void of cessation As an unending celebration
