I Saw Many Within My Body

Your breath continuous, ceaseless, endless Happening on its own without any efforts on your part Ever given it a thought? How can anything happen on its own? Not only breathing but all internal activities of body digestion, circulation, excretion, reproduction happen without human intervention Who does them? This happened when I was in twenties As a spiritual seeker desiring salvation, I went to a spiritual Guru and attended her discourses One day, as I was busy cooking in kitchen, I saw her in front of me - Her face and shoulders in air, smiling she blessed me. I could feel a white luminous light flow from her towards me Then something amazing happened I felt my body was lifeless covering of something I felt no pain, no feelings, no tiredness I was detached from the body When I closed my eyes and looked within the body I saw many things On the right side of my chest was a nude man sitting in meditation pose hands one above other on his thighs On the left side of chest was a Goddess sitting on a lotus She was fully decked in ornaments, wearing a saree, blessing all with her hand I saw many men working relentlessly This lasted for many days I didn't know how to handle it Prayed to my master to take me a step further But it disappeared I was convinced I am not the body All activities within body are done by many One person, maybe God or soul controls them 13.08.2021 For : As we be breathed Unseeking Seeker

Rama, Your poem brings real food for thought. I've pondered such things myself, though not to the extent in your verse. Never given much thought to the 'autonomic nervous system' or hypothalamus activity. What would an out of body experience be like. 'I was convinced I am not the body ~ All activities within body are done by many'. The philosophical search for knowledge.., sometimes amazes, never ceases. The concept of multiple souls coexisting in one body, heavy stuff. -Richard

Hi Rama, I give a lot of thought to the way our bodies work, everything was so well thought out and created to perfection. It’s the wonder, the wonder of God. An excellent thought provoking write… Belle
