Nothing

Let’s explore things and no-thing
Where no-thing is not an object
How then may it be recognised
Unless the manifest we reject

Let us look at boundaryless space
It is both immanent yet transcendent
Having no attribute yet holds all that is
Entire existence upon space is dependent

From subatomic particles to vast galaxies
All pervading space is an invisible womb
It’s the first thing we see but yet ignore
What it is we cannot even assume

God’s omnipresent, so is He space
To discern the truth just drop lower mind
For thought too is an object in consciousness 
Save in deep meditation the truth we cannot find

Renowned theosophists time and again have affirmed
That enigmatic space both immediate and intimate
Is the unchanging screen of God’s awareness
Within which myriad life forms gyrate

When single pointed be pristine attention
Without any object including thoughts at play
Metaphorically speaking, we disappear in the void
Then not attaining but becoming a luminous sun ray

Melding with space we become That that has no name
The Self without attribute, no-thing that has no labels 
Renewing itself within itself in time stretched peace
We recognise deepest truths spoken of in fables
