Inner Guidance

look not outwards, oh hermit!
for I Am within, judging neither fault nor merit!

you can do no wrong!
come! let us sing the love song!

*************************

As one with oneness 
Never ever separated
Pulsating with joy
In unending renewal
Climax unending
Bliss ineffable
In rapturous singularity 
We are complete
With God one
Nothing to be done
Samadhi
In continuity 

God wishing that we
Become as He
Immerses us in duality
To face adversity 
By being veiled
Which is the same
As shrouded in darkness
Cloaked by limitation
Of time, space & wisdom 
Doing so with this assurance 
That He will be with us within
As our conscience 

The sublime radiance of God
Shines in beauteous hues of love
Prismatically coloured 
As bubbling joy
Impetuous empathy
All encompassing compassion 
Bliss ignition in continuity 
Encased in the vibrant void
Of pristine purity
All holographically present
In all sentient beings
As His essence

It is easy to see
That nothing need be done
For we are already
With God one 
Yet since we are bound
Required to strive
To garner experience
Feel pain of separation 
Before delighting in union
Love in love with love
Pining for itself
We are granted free will

Free will a boon
Soon becomes bane 
Since freedom to choose
As co-creator of life
What is our excuse
If engaging in strife
Having forgotten our origin
We seek expansion
In the narrow domain
Of ego cravings
Holistic view, no judgment 
Delusion is but misalignment 

The void of silence
Which is our home
Wherefrom we arose
We go in there
After exhausting ourselves
In the external world
Of fleeting illusions
Dark fears 
Unending desires
Thus in stillness 
We reclaim our divinity
Felt as blissful serenity

The way to begin
Is to cease grasping
Quit stagnating
Desist from attachment
By simply flowing
In gentleness 
Listening to the voice
Of our conscience 
Which is God Himself
Waiting within
For us
To awake

~~~~~~

The quietus 
Without hiatus

touch most intimate
ignition immediate
in stillness sedate
