“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 17-March-2021 My obsession poetry contest Sponsor: Regina McIntosh
