Quest

“Following heart, not the head ~ Let’s be, by throb of love led” ~ quote by poet Having made God search our quest, we first cajole thoughts to rest, by making eye nonchalant and fickle heart, free from want. When our heart ceases to sway, mind too begins to obey and soon presence becomes still, relinquishing egoic will. Whispers of conscience cognised, our waywardness realised, making amends, we atone, our consciousness gently hone. Embracing thought cessation, in all time meditation, attuned to the universe, melodious is soul’s verse. Emptiness is now the norm, invoking a benign storm, felt as divine magnetism, igniting mind-body prism. Our heart knows, love within grows, for we’re in the boat God rows, so we share, with those who pair, light of our soul, self-aware. Having imbibed love’s bliss fizz, knowing God is all there is, we are as He, living light, truth we see in direct sight.
