19.2 “Where is meditation, pleasure, prosperity or discrimination? Where is duality? Where even is Unity? I abide in the glory of Self” ~~~ Verse revisited on 23-March-2022 To know what is, discern what is not Thus neti-neti, not this, not this, ephemeral We look for truth, making singular, seeming plural Yet senses externalised, everything’s sized in thought slot The cosmic egg, womb of existence, lies within as Hiranyagarbha Splitting, one becomes two, the two many, in-form polarity Separation creates a yearning for union by parity Samadhi resolves paradox of life’s enigma There then thus is no doer meditating All that is, is but Spanda or vibration in motion Truth’s here now known in the void of breath cessation Vibrant, all encompassing, luminous consciousness, scintillating __________ Notes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neti_neti https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiranyagarbha https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samadhi
