Vbt Practice 77 of 112

Life comic-tragic
In the world of magic
As long as there is association
With lower mind & body combination

Recognising that we seek expansion
In an unending continuation 
Where lies the summit
Is there any limit

Contemplating thus we may see
Mirrorlessly 
That the Universe is our own effulgence
Limitless is our magnificence

Shiva the magician
Maya the illusion
Lower mind the delusion
Our choice: freedom or stagnation

Self illumined & shining
Or in darkness stumbling

This practice asks us to recognise
In a continuum of awareness realise
That on one hand we have the external ephemeral 
And on the other end of polarity the internal eternal

It is no test
Yet we may not rest
Shifting from Nirvikalpa to Savikalpa
No enigma
One being awareness of thought, mind begot
The other awareness of energy behind thought
Abiding then in thought free awareness 
We unify our being with the That Oneness
