The manifest universe

Thought is the cause of creation,
which in staid stillness disappears,
so in restful meditation,
banished are all desires and fears.

All that’s manifest is but thought,
preceded by our heart’s impulse
but if we be not in dreams caught,
all that remains is bliss beat’s pulse.

We’re living light, not body mind.
Truth of Self transcends time and space,
which we know not since desires bind,
anchoring us in life’s rat race.

Whence unshackled from our mind tree,
our soul is instantly set free.

Thank you, Bill. Credit for the wisdom goes to the Upanishads.
