Discontent with the way things are We look for blissful shores afar A haven where joy does not end With no need to struggle and spar No sooner we choose to ascend To voice of God, our ear we lend Trusting him to steer our life’s course Our journey begins, when we bend Knowing God propels our life force We distil feral instincts coarse Gentling cravings of fickle heart In timeless time, melding with source Tranquil silence, the way to start Then simply, adding love to cart We imbibe rapture of God’s bliss Our lower mind does then depart Love sublime leaves nothing remiss We’re graced by Divine Mother’s kiss Vaporised self becomes the flame Here and now, Nirvana is this 08-September-2022 Pick-A-Title, Vol 32 - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh

"Tranquil silence, the way to start/ Then simply, adding love to cart/ We imbibe rapture of God’s bliss/ Our lower mind does then depart"..... At this point, definitely we are heading to Nirvana and soon become' part of timeless time, melding with our source.' So deep and beautiful....dear Seeker friend!

Thanks Linda. Interlocking Rubaiyat is restrictive but challenging, I guess. Manageable though.

I am a Catholic and I believe in all the prophies about Our Lady whose birthday is today. No other can take her place. Pity so few people read about the apparitions, especially at Lourdes and Fatima. She was full of grace in the eyes of God. Still it is wrong if one thinks she is to be adored. She is powerful, but not God.

Based on culture, we have inbuilt beliefs. That’s religion. In case of spirituality, we discard all knowing and look in, within. In silence. Then, direct experience is graced. The divine feminine is the kinetic energy aspect of God. But it’s a long topic. It’s alright to retain whatever belief we’re comfortable with, if it gives us peace and solace.
