Lost and Found

“twice born, we live on”

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

we are lost, as long as ...
we wish to keep the cake
and eat it too
left foot in one boat
right in the other
sitting on the fence ...

we are lost, as long as ...
we thus vacillate
our attention oscillates
between the ego
grasping and seizing
and our spirit
prayerfully connecting ...

we are lost, as long as ...
we are deaf
to voice of conscience 
preferring to rely
on fragmented thought
impelled by ego
amidst fleeting illusions
in the external
with regrets of past
fear of future
rooted in attachments 
causation of stagnation 
in feral desires ...

we are free when ...
we recognise the truth
that we are not mind body
but spirit unbound
here for a sojourn
for a breath of fresh air
to experience earth life
as a separate entity
although interconnected
with all of existence 
vibrationally by love
being Gods energy
omnipresent ...

we are free when ...
we accept the limitations
of mind body
knowing we have so chosen
to experience duality
that love yearning for love
to feel complete
magnetically aligns
head and heart
igniting the Sushumna 
with bliss electricity
a climax of ecstasy
in renewal continual
in permanence 
within ...

we are free when ...
as the object here manifest
by us the subject pure spirit
one with God consciousness 
when we as object quieten
resting ego borne thought 
entering void of silence
initially in meditation 
which by prioritisation 
becomes our orientation 
thereby hollowing out form
getting to emptiness
a spacial voidness 
of no-thingness
wherein suffused with love
in its beauteous hues
self and Self align
as mind body vaporises ...

“who are you looking for, oh hermit
there is no one here!”

Lovely poetry so eloquently phrased and heartfully rendered. I particularly loved the fourth stanza, around which a suitable model for the living of life could be fashioned. Praise to you for this eminent masterpiece, worthy of deep reflection.
