Unseeking Seeker Poet Ottava rima

Dweller of the heart

this form is dust yet moves as though it’s alive
propelled by God’s breath, divine spark in our heart
too subtle to find so it’s useless to strive
unless we’re still causing ego to depart
and melding head with heart, flame of love revive
prayer on our lips being the way to start
with resolve and patience finding soul’s essence
living light eternal, our pure quintessence 

having known now who we are nothing is gained
since whether we know or not, we are the Self
but having garnered wisdom, soul is unchained
and no fears or desires remain on our shelf
our childlike heart again pristine and unstained
trusting God fully as life flows by itself
poised in peace at all times in heart’s play station
viewing life’s a dreamlike manifestation 

as a dweller of the void, beyond space-time,
one with God in a singularity field
bereft of attributes, no peaks left to climb
infinite is the power we therein wield
yet free from desire, we’re engrossed in love’s chime
acting spontaneously, needing no shield
self-existent in the splendour of our light
with time dissolved peace replacing bliss delight

Self is consciousness labels cannot define
being that wherefrom the universe arose
yet in pulse dual too found when we align
head and heart with love, the fragrance of a rose
causing nodes in form with bliss beats to align
accomplished whilst we yet remain in repose
wherein all we need to do is vaporise
that thus in doing so, God we realise

deeper yet within, truth of Self we pursue 
recognising consciousness that’s absolute
a bright darkness from which nothing can break through
beyond all realms and music of Krishna’s flute
tightly packed energy known to sages few
yet we are That for it is our very root
one without a second, nothing else exists
known when we abandon ego’s to-do lists

Valsa George September 3, 2025 at 5:14 AM I so much enjoyed this poem written by one who is almost like a sage and seeker who strives to ascend the highest level of spiritual fulfillment . "head and heart with love, the fragrance of a rose causing nodes in form with bliss beats to align accomplished whilst we yet remain in repose wherein all we need to do is vaporise that thus in doing so, God we realise". This is the mantra to let God dwell in our hearts. But the vaporising is not something easy. Dear Seeker friend, this is a poem of classical dimensions. This goes into my FAVE. Unseeking Seeker September 3, 2025 at 7:30 PM I am happy that you found value in these words, Valsa dear. It is not about easy or difficult, both these conclusions or beliefs being related to doership, to thought constructs, self-imposed limitations imposed by ego, to the erroneous idea that we are only this organic body-mind. Simply by recognising that we are spirit having a human experience, fears and desires then automatically diminish paving way for us to fixate our focus on the play of divine magnetism within.
