The Simple Truth

“be at ease, oh hermit, in thought free awareness
you are, as you are complete, one with that oneness”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let us be clear
We are here
In this mind body
Endowed 
With senses five
Having polarities
Out of which 
The inner is dormant
Since our attention
Is externalised 

Likewise thought
Has two components
Of an indivisible 
Whole
One aspect bisects
And fragments 
Analyses and paralyses
Which is the domain
Of the ego
Or let us say
Identity
Whilst
The other aspect
Does not grasp
It simply connects
Unifies
Fuses
With universal mind
Without ego

God alone is
The all
Present within
Each lifetron
Both within
And without
Form
He is recognised
Felt
Known
Clearly
Unmistakably 
As the throb of love
Pure
Vibrant
Luminous
Self existent
All embracing
Nonjudgmental 
Omnipresent

Since God alone is
And is love
We too are
As He
Albeit
Temporarily misaligned
Owing to ego
Anchoring our attention
In a narrow domain
Of fears and desires
Arising from attachment 
Rooted in delusion
In the ephemeral 
To extend the life span
Of ego
Which on its own
Has no existence
Being but a bubble
Imaginary and unreal
Created by us
Through ignorance 

The way to remember
Who we are
Is to enter silence
For in the stillness 
There is no thought
And without thought
There is no ego
No doer
No identity
No delusion

The shift is slow
And gradual
Since we have indulged
For eons of time
In ego cravings 
And thus 
Considerable momentum 
Has built up now
Yet if we so choose
To shift our attention
Effortlessly and prayerfully 
Inwards
We connect with 
Our own innate divinity
Instantly

The veil of ignorance 
Or blockages
Are self imposed
By us on ourself
Or we may say
By the imaginary ego
On us

With this knowing
Oh hermit
You are free
Nothing needs to be done 
Enjoy! Play!
Do as you like!
But do not stagnate
Do not get anchored
In any self serving groove
Of foolish thought
All that comes and goes
Which is transient
Is an illusion
Which we can enjoy
As a play
But always knowing
That it is
This life is
A movie
A dream

“I Am not the mind body
I Am spirit unbound
I Am God consciousness 
This body is an instrument
I Am here to experience duality 
To become love enabled
To remain unwavering in this knowing
Even in the grossest vibration”
