comprehending non-duality

intermediate truths will do for now
involving dissolution of ego
staid stillness reveals what mind cannot know
by direct touch, God wisdom does endow
kundalini rises if we allow
whence sailing in the boat which God does row
spirit repays debts of love which we owe 
clear sight’s bestowed when to His will we bow

ego vaporises yet we remain
we as living light dissolve in God’s heart
both immanent as also transcendent
we see soul’s journey has not been in vain
as pure awareness, we add love to cart
living light eternal, bliss resplendent

THANKYOU for cart, Unseeking. Luckily I can only pay 4 it with light. My take : Comprehension is of mind. One cannot comprehend non-duality with mind. Once non-duality is worded either in Upanishads, other scripture, literature or in poetry, it reverts to duality, making two inseparable.

True. We have to leave logical mind behind. The realisation is in the heart, so we may say, we use mind of the heart, which operates in silence.
