The Self has no attributes

In observer stance, as senses recede,
bliss magnetism silences lower mind,
whence surrendering thus, we let God lead,
our orientation, divine aligned.

When all traces of ego fade away,
as light of Self, bereft of attribute, 
we have no fears or desires to allay,
hum of peace continuing to reboot.

There’s nothing to be done, we feel complete,
each playful intent, instantly fulfilled,
our pure being mirroring God’s heartbeat,
love, light and wisdom in our Self instilled.

We’ve strayed far from God but yet can return,
by invoking grace in mind-body urn.

This is a sincere and thoughtful spiritual meditation shaped into verse. It conveys surrender and divine alignment with both reverence and originality.

Thank you, Jay. These are inspirations from the Upanishads, deep wisdom in them. I wish we were familiarised with these ancients texts at school level, instead of stumbling upon them late in life.
