When our eye is single

Given that God alone is the all there is and all manifestations are but a dream, to find out who we are is then not a quiz, for as we are bathed in light of love’s moonbeam, from our heart bursts forth, a thunderous bliss fizz, whence we see this world is not as it does seem. When our eye is single, we are full of light, commingled with bliss mists ushering delight.

Belated congratulations to you US on the well deserved honour honour of POTW. I've not been on much as I'm busy with putting together a slideshow for a forthcoming family reunion, it's taking longer than I thought but getting there slowly. Tom

While I don't always agree with your sentiments on spirituality I do appreciate your penultimate line and theme. Jesus himself recommended keeping our eye simple. Enjoy your special week in the light

Yes indeed, Tom. Do follow the Bible but at the same time recognise equally the validity of all religions and the words of innumerable sages across different cultures and traditions. The truth is the same, only words, the languages are different, the characters presented as teachers are different, that’s all. Several streams flow down a hill, joining the same river, which in turn merges with the ocean.

For me, the Bible, now translated in over 3300 languages and with a circulation in the billions, is direct evidence of God's desire to communicate with each one of us. It is holy writ and I am a better person for having it in my life

It is quite alright to have independent and even divergent views on spirituality. Incidentally, spirituality is a direct inquiry and does not lean on any religious scripture. Direct experience is what counts. That’s the key difference between religion and spirituality.

What a deep and profound write as always this is dear seeker! I love especially loves moonbeam line and how youve mentioned about the world, sometimes yes we need to create our own bliss from light within when all that we see is but a dream that isnt real. Your poems have such an eloquent touch that reminds me of ancient famous poets! And it always is such a pleasure seeing them featured. Congratulations dear seeker! Sending you light always. I hope i did interpret your poem right, your words can be studied from many angles!

Thank you, IE dear. We do not have to create the light since we already are the eternal light but know this not, until we see directly in meditation.

Dear US, Congrats on POTW which is filled with spiritual clarity and gentle wisdom. I feel the peace and wonder in your words in the sense of unity, the “thunderous bliss fizz,” and the luminous beauty of seeing with a single, loving eye. Yes, we all have a deeper light within us all. Your poetry is a soft lantern for the soul, and I’m grateful for your friendship and insight. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you, Karen. If inclined, do read ‘The Holy Science’ by Swami Yukteswar Giri. The opening lines of the book affirm that God alone is the one and only ‘true substance’ in the universe. You can download this book for free from archive.org or any other site ~ it is not copyright.
