Perception

”Oh hermit, our eye cannot be single ~ unless polarities within mingle” ~ quote by poet Narrow is our perception, leading to misconception, which if we take to be true, makes delusional our view. Sensory inputs and mind an inexorable bind, yet within the gap, the pause, we may escape from its jaws. Polarity interchange frees our soul's cognition range, by abiding in silence, resting thought form violence. Sans thought, awareness heightens because load on heart lightens but most take this as fiction, due to thinking addiction. To transcend mind, we rest thought, whence no longer by fears fraught, we see ourselves as we are, luminous like yonder star. What silence ushers is this: we imbibe love, light and bliss, which radiates within form, propelled by magnetism warm. Obtaining spherical sight, entwined with bliss beat delight, as we slowly come undone, we see God and soul are one. Looking back, we now can see, that whence free from our mind tree and on adding love to cart, we sense God within each heart.

This is an outstanding poem so thought provoking and deep. It is in silence that we imbibe love, light and bliss ! That's why the sages of ancient India used to retire to the forests and dwell in caves. Congratulations Seeker friend on your first place win. To my FAVE

Yes but we don’t have to become a recluse. Grace of God is both immediate and intimate, available here and now, at every moment.
