The all-knowing eye

Looking deeper than boundaries of skin,
we recognise God’s light in every form,
as light eternal, deep in heart within,
as the vital force which keeps bodies warm,
field of love and light, with which we conform.
God then is the source, that lights every light
and this knowing bestows spherical sight,
that thus both immanent and transcendent,
suffused with rapture of bliss beat’s delight,
we see in each form, God luminescent.

engaging words...I especially liked: God then is the source, that lights every light and this knowing bestows spherical sight, that thus both immanent and transcendent, yellow rose

If we let go of thoughts by looking at them as waves of the ocean, being separate from us, in time heart becomes quiescent and we rest in silence, which connects ‘mind of the heart’ with universal consciousness. Prioritising this way of being, in time we imbibe a knowing that transcends duality.
