20.9 “Where is distraction, concentration, knowledge or delusion? Where is joy or sorrow? I am Stillness” Verse revisited on 29-December-2022 Let’s keep this verse simple By resting thought forms nimble Just as we look at any other object The thought will arise, subside, eject There being no identity doership No games of one-upmanship Awareness self-aware renews Pulse of aliveness in myriad hues In an aspect of embrace and release Holding not onto the involuntary sneeze Vaporised soul presence ever blissful Beholds play of dream life beautiful Transcending sensory joy and pain Mind-body cleansed from stain Enabled by rapture of divine bliss The here and now being all there is Partaking of soma nectar bliss potion Celebrating life as a splash in the ocean One with That oneness, time too yields To the omnipotent power God wields And so transformed as living light Heightened is our soul’s delight We dance as such and yet are still Having surrendered fully to God’s will In timeless time becoming the bliss flame We’re That that may be assigned no name
