Meditation
A question is asked
‘why meditate’
‘Is it really the in thing to do’
being stillness sedate
Rephrasing the query
‘how may we make joy eternal’
We define by pure intent
quest to reside in bliss tranquil
Accustomed to being a doer
believing we are body identity
We dwell in cyclic joy & sorrow
rotating not attention polarity
In other words we stagnate
in narrow domains of the ego
Our attention entrapped in illusion
attachments we are reluctant to forgo
With this understanding clear
we choose to internalise attention
Thoughts rested yet attentive
void of emptiness our orientation
Resting thus in silence & stillness
in an effortless attention shift
Fulcrum of awareness heart centric
we begin to feel we are not adrift
This inner polarity of our sentience
dormant for long now slowly awakens
Stillness softly aligns with conscience
when voluntarily ego by us is forsaken
Relegating role of body as an interface
for day to day earth life experience
Stillness our mode with God as mover
we feel magnetism as joy exuberance
Having but grazed the outer periphery
of our own divinity resident within
Divine connect becomes our priority
gripping us in thunderous bliss ignition
We may, if we like, label this as meditation
