Ashtavakra Gita Verse 19:1
19.1
“With the tongs of Truth
I have plucked the thorn of thinking
from the innermost cave
of my heart”

Verse revisited on 20-March-2022
A burning yearning arising in our heart
Feeling separateness, distanced from oneness
Upon exhaustion of thought, divine pulsations start
Continuum of thought rested stillness, distilled awareness
Recognising omnipresent space as immediate and intimate
Unhesitatingly, our formless presence melds therein
In heart manifests a threefold flame chaste
As we feel benign bliss burn our skin
Our central vein ignited, heart delighted
Ego now but an instrument, in the head ovoid
The lamp of luminous love divine in heart is lighted
Vaporised soul presence is by vibrant bliss currents buoyed
Soma nectar flows from the Bindu, each node of form as such
The boundary between form and the vast void disappears
We are ceaselessly graced by Divine Mother’s touch
Manifest within as magnetic heat spears
Inner conflict ends, erect is our stance
Bliss suffused aliveness, God elixir breathing
Childlike innocence playfully performs divine dance
Bubbling effervescence, love to the universe so bequeathing
