Avadhuta Gita Chapter 1 verse 21

“Know that which has form to be false, that which is formless to be eternal.
Through the instruction of this truth there is no longer rebirth into this world.”


ephemeral is the manifest universe
held in the womb of boundless space
love in the heart has no need to rehearse 
the dance divine being release and embrace 

bliss pheromones tingle when our eye is single
all that that then is is the heartbeat of God
in the vast vibrant void polarities mingle
as scattered dust gives love a nod

joy of union and pang of separation 
imparts wisdom on the wandering soul
entwined with formlessness and creation
at all coordinates remains blissful and whole

all that that then is is God consciousness alone
why then oh hermit should we have any fear 
recognition of truth is the way to atone
within this illusion all forms are dear

'wisdom of wandering soul'/ it is the 'recognition of truth' that shall lead us away from the illusion, but 'within this illusion all forms are dear'. Oh! so tremendous philosophy. I am so proud of your poetry dear poet. Amazing write.

delighted you enjoyed, Mystic Rose. When ego disappears, the truth appears. Thus, we are in our own way, so to speak.
