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

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
