20.1 “Where are the elements, the body, the organs, the mind? Where is the void? Where is despair? My nature is transparent clearness” Verse revisited on 19-July-2022 Such is God’s power we wield That space and time, both yield Awareness poised at the epicentre Wherefrom all manifestations canter Tranquil stillness before breath inhalation Rippleless lake of soul’s blissful elation Devoid of any trace of egoic residue Is pulse of truth that does renew Duality emanation of singularity Is the inner knowing in deep clarity Recognising that the world’s a stage There thus no cause for desires to rage Ensouling feeble form, experience by touch Letting go of concepts and belief crutch Embrace and release, each sensation One with oneness and all creation

I fell into this state of soul's blissful elation once, however, it only lasted a short while and haven't been able to repeat the experience. At any rate it gives me joy to know it really exists!

There’s no way to ‘attain’ but we may so ‘become’ if we choose to abide in effortless silence, inviting (but not insisting) divine magnetism to fill us, devoid of anticipation* (*which is what but thought)
