Moment I End My Thoughts
Every time I erase all thoughts from mind,
moment I stop thinking,
world comes to an end.
Along with it my body, my pain, everything.
This makes me think, does the world exist or
is it a mere figment of imagination?
Is it a dream?
It seems I will wake up to find it is all gone
Vanished into nothingness
Am I creating so much hue and cry over a non-existent entity?
When world ends in mind, I still exist
I am aware of its end.
I cannot see myself
but am there
as an awareness of an invisible entity.
I am convinced I am not this body.
I want to see myself now.
My attachments break.
I experience calm
but a restlessness to see self occupies mind.
I am convinced both soul and God exist.
I feel if I can continue being without thoughts for long time
I will see my soul.
I try again and again
but fail to remain without thoughts.
Wish it were easier
