Tryst

“The entire universe is within us ~ This wisdom dawns, when we ride God’s bliss bus” ~ quote by poet Hemmed in by lower mind and senses five My awareness dips in the waking-state For I know not how heart in dreams does jive Moment to moment, as dark desires bait I fall prey to fears, that in shadows wait Little wonder then, that I feel not whole Although I’m old, perhaps it’s not too late My tryst with love, should lead me to my soul All I know for sure, is that I’m alive Other than this, I’m twirled about by fate I know not how I may, soul’s light revive Given to rage, lust, angst, envy and hate It seems a distant dream, is heaven’s gate I pray God guides me, to play my life role But my thoughts are impure and far from chaste My tryst with love, should lead me to my soul Negating fears, into the void I dive Ending once for all, ego spurred debate In the cave of heart, I find a bliss hive No demons remain, I need to placate Doing nothing, I reach a peaceful state Even though bliss is an interim goal Flow of soma nectar does not abate My tryst with love, should lead me to my soul Polarities merge; nodes within form mate Erect spine becomes a luminous pole As living light, God’s will I co-create My tryst with love, should lead me to my soul

To ride God’s bliss bus, shift from head to heart and rekindle the flame of innocence

"I find a bliss hive No demons remain, I need to placate" - Great writing. I remember Jawaharlal Nehru's speech on Tryst. It was on freedom. Congratulations!

No one is perfect, we’re all “twirled about by fate” we just have to ask God forgiveness for our past mistakes. As God forgives so should we, then our ”tryst with love” will lead to heaven eventually. A wonderful Ballad and quote US… Belle

Mistakes (sin) occur owing to ignorance. Thus, becoming aware of who in truth we are is the first logical step. Once we know, there is no possibility to sin anymore. So, let’s not be so serious. We are here to learn whilst having fun in childlike playfulness. Having said that, God forgives easily but to receive His grace, our heart must be pure.

To reach such a state must surely be bliss Seeker! Trying to tune out the world is difficult yet not impossible. I'm searching for my tryst with love!!! Happy Tuesday!

It is. The process involves kundalini ascent from root to crown and beyond in the void, male-female polarity balance (felt in physicality), descent of polarities into heart (Spiritual Heart), divine union resulting in an explosion of bliss, igniting the central vein (Sushumna) in permanence. However, wondrous as it is, ascension continues.
