The Direct Path
If God’s omnipresent, we must see Him,
feeling His love and light in each heartbeat,
else we roam rudderless at ego’s whim,
twirled about by fate, feeling incomplete.
Upon making God search, our earnest wish,
we begin by slowing the speed of thought,
every imagined knowing relinquish,
that learning by touch, we become self-taught.
We renounce attachment, desire and fear,
looking in instead, for the source of life
and in timeless time sense God’s presence near,
felt as magnetism, making us bliss rife.
Complete surrender is the way to start,
our shift involves melding head with the heart.
Our shift involves melding head with the heart,
rekindling innate innocence childlike
and upon choosing to add love to cart,
as blessings in-pour, we feel bliss beats spike.
Essentially, what’s happening is this:
one that became two, again becomes one,
we may take to be Divine Mother’s kiss,
igniting our core, like the central sun.
Holy Spirit, kundalini or chi,
as God’s breath is labelled across the world,
is the force that enables us to see,
glory of God, when flag of love’s unfurled.
He is both immanent and transcendent;
each breath is grace, on God’s will dependent.
Each breath is grace, on God’s will dependent
but we are one with Him, cleaved from His light
and as such we’re His direct descendant,
made as is He, known when we gain clear sight.
This truth has been affirmed from time to time,
by saints and sages, all across the globe,
counselling us to heed our inner chime
for which ego cravings, we must disrobe.
Once we are empty, we invoke God’s grace
and so become the vastness of the sky,
holding God’s hand, seeing Him face to face,
here, whilst we’re alive and not when we die.
Even though the light in our eyes grows dim,
if God’s omnipresent, we must see Him.
