Notes About The Poem

Awake Oh Hermit

Awake oh hermit “Drop that thought, ego begot ~ Here and now, be thus self-taught” ____________________ Prone to weigh and size, we self-block surprise, since we don’t let go, of thought forms that flow. Habit of thinking, dots in time linking, plunges us in trance; piquant circumstance. Laying thoughts to rest, no load on our chest, awareness heightens, our aura brightens. Sans thought we are free, caged not to mind’s tree. Cleansed of egoic stain, fears to rest are lain. Conscience voice heeded, thoughts used when needed, soul regains control of our earth life role. Our void centric eye, sees through ego’s lie, choosing tranquil calm and love’s healing balm. Empty is our cup but love’s our backup, which pervades our form, as magnetism warm. Stop energy leak. We’re he who we seek. Soul’s luminescence is pure God-essence. 19-July-2022

"Sans thought we are free, caged not to mind’s tree. Cleansed of egoic stain, fears to rest are lain"...... Such a state can be achieved only by the great 'yogis' who practise transcendental meditation and keep all wordly thoughts at bay... ! If one is able to attain that state, he will feel so light and can even levitate in ether ! Wonderful .....

It’s simple actually, Valsa. Don’t fight thought forms. Simply watch them rise and fade in the field of awareness, assigning no ‘ownership’ to them. Thus, ceasing to feed them, thoughts recede and ego crumples.
