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 22-March-2023
