Is This Obsession
“The mere presence of a body signifies that its existence is made possible by unfulfilled desires.” Sri Yukteswar Giri, as stated by him in ‘An Autobiography of a Yogi’ by Paramahansa Yogananda
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A monk on a hill, too employs free will, to bliss instil
Thus cessation a soul choice, paving way for elation
Synergy with divine energy enveloping form in bliss
Purring rapturous delight renewing within day and night
Suffusing mind body fully with the soma pheromone
Luminescent spiritual light, soft white, as God manifests
As feeble earth entity melds with His presence completely
Wonder beyond all wonders, benedictions are as bestowed
Upon lower mind vaporised, receptive to embracing surprise
Is this burning yearning for merging with God, an obsession
There being no identity resident within seeking attainment
Save in-form presence magnetically, prayerfully connecting
Hypnotic stupor slowly receding, enabling the mists to clear
Recognising self as spirit unbound, upon earth for a sojourn
Love in love with love for love alone, vibrant rainbow blissful
Being to become an integral, indivisible part of God essence
If this is obsession
It is time to confess
