Contest : Immanent Yet Transcendent

Sponsored by : Unseeking Seeker

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the anchorage of the mundane mind, 
detached from the principled roots of sanctity
by the dislodging drive of sequential desire,
untamed instincts shroud the senses.
As the needle of ethical compass breaks,
the vortex of  immanent emotions drags the mind
into the fathomless inner depth of deriding abyss.

Beneath the sensual surface of mortal perception,
the mind transitorily shapes the innate images 
on the fleeting screen of spreading awareness, 
shifting beyond the limits in search of new sensitivity
within the quintessence of unique existence,
the construct of sublime elements of divinity. 

In the realm of existential dualism,
with the dark and depraved attributes,
irreducibly distinct from the righteous potency,
human being breathes as God’s generous gift 
the divine breath of the devout life,
the intrinsic source of creativity for love and altruism.

The enlivening inner window of enlightenment 
lets inside the sacred sunshine of seminal virtue,
highlights the positivity of the persistent psyche,
enhances the defining strength of the spirit,
flowing with the fountain of generosity and empathy,
that finds the cathartic pathway of spirituality.

The spiritual journey is a trying translocation
from vice to virtue to the high stratum of consciousness,
achieved by the introspective dissolution of the boundaries
of the rigid thoughts through transcendence.
As the separation of outside-in and inside-out dissolves,
intrinsic virtue permeates the non-dual awareness.

When the immanent emotions bloom as radiant lotus,
the soul contained within the limits of acuity
finds freedom to merge with the transcendent consciousness 
of divine oneness, and fusing with the supreme,  
embellishes the sublimated life with heavenly adornment. 
The absolute then assimilates the liberated atman.
