In Silence We See Self

I sat down in a silent place
Withdrew all sense organs
from their objects
Ended my thoughts
Closed my eyes and 
sat still in silence
concentrating on 
the front of the nose
my breath
going out, coming in

Soon I could feel divine vibrations
surging from within
They gushed out of my empty mind
I experienced bountiful bliss. 
My kundalini had been awakened.

I continued to meditate maintaining
my inactivity for I knew in silence we
can see God but my meditation was 
broken.
Bliss remained for many days
before slowly fading away

God exists within all. 
We needn't go to places
of worship to see him. 
Looking within we might see 
his fragmental part, the soul,
which is our true self
body being a mere 
outer cover or clothing

We cannot see God until we 
cut ourselves from the world
When world ends, God begins
In stillness of absolute silence
we will feel Him clearly. 
That's what Gautam Buddha did.

Mind without thoughts
Senses inactive
is the key to eternal bliss.

Find a quiet place and you will find him there for he is everywhere. Tom
