Pratyabhijna Or Re-Cognition

Going not into graphic detail
Of what the scriptures entail
For each meditation 
Upon its delineation
An inscrutable mystery
A fathomless trajectory
Meant for that one spiritual explorer alone
Words mere symbols not etched in stone

It is the subtle essence
Of the divine fragrance
Imbibed in stillness & silence
Assimilated in trusting innocence 
That holds value
As we continue
Our quest
With thoughts at rest
Drawing inspiration from offered contemplation 
Of songs adepts sing of their prayerful meditation 
Their affirmation a validation
An aid to rest thought agitation
For the unceasing pulse of the divine love vibration 
Merely requires that we tune in in quiet resonation

The rediscovery 
Must be sedentary
For it is the mind body rested rediscovery and recognition 
Of the pristinity of our innate ever present blissful orientation 
Power & presence of bliss we wield 
Our beauty veiled by the ego shield
A game of illusion among the shadows
Which we inexplicably choose to follow
The abyss of delusion into which we have leapt
Undoubtedly a tragedy of unspeakable depth

We may yet awake at this very moment and instance
Surrendering to the divine flow devoid of resistance 
As we stretch & yawn
And move on
The pathless path of childlike innocence 
Partaking & releasing illusions with nonchalance 
Seeking not to make permanent the impermanent
Ensconced in the blissful divine flow ever present 

Rediscovering
A becoming
Of blissfulness 
In restful stillness
