“There is no need of knowledge, reasoning, time, space, instruction from a teacher, or attainment of Samahdi.
I am naturally the perfect Consciousness, the Real, like the sky, Spontaneous and steady.”
we are as we are complete
with whom then should we compete
life flows on all by itself
what can we add to the Self
doubts that arise are of mind
but we’re soul loving and kind
resting instrument of thought
we become here now self-taught
we’ve vaporised fears have flown
samadhi too is now known
wisdom downloads have been graced
and wayward ego defaced
all we do is dwell in heart
feeling there ignition start
we are as we are complete
from head to toe bliss replete
what was veiled is now revealed
and traumas felt in dreams healed
breath by breath we bilocate
between earth and heaven’s gate
ego’s dead we’ve reclaimed light
breath by breath heightens delight
having plugged energy leak
we’re he we set out to seek
“There is no body made up of five elements; nor is there anyone who is disembodied.
All is verily the Self alone.
How can there be the three states and the fourth?”
To put this verse in perspective
We pause to explain elements and states
The former, earth, water, fire air and vast space
The states are waking, dreaming, deep sleep
The fourth is turiya, recognised by grace
First things first, we are not decaying organic form
This body-mind is but an earth life interface
A vehicle to feel by touch pulse dual
Our true form in singularity is living light
Eternal awareness self-aware in endless renewal
With this preamble the verse becomes clear
Yet remains a concept until we directly recognise
An enablement offered if we be still in the vibrant void
Where in timeless time false identity falls away
Revealing light of Self pure and unalloyed
“Even my natural self appears to me as non-distinct from the supreme Self; it appears to be one and like space. How can there be meditator and meditation?”
beginning at the end of our understanding
globe of love and light of God is all that is
without diminishing Himself, He creates all
felt in the manifest universe as a bliss fizz
have ye not seen the truth as yet oh hermit
know the seeker who seeks does not exist
if we be still judging neither fault nor merit
our pristine presence is by bliss mists kissed
acknowledging form as also boundless space
we imprint our unique emotes in the vast void
as both this here now and the absolute totality
effervescence of our love is pure and unalloyed
“Some seek nonduality, others duality.
They do not know the Truth, which is the same at all times and everywhere, which is devoid of both duality and nonduality.”
everything everywhere, all at once
the pulse of life in unending renewal
spontaneity has no need to rehearse
with love and light of God as life’s fuel
sacred geometry everywhere abounds
consciousness expands engulfing all
thus all manifestations are but illusions
so who in truth we are we must recall
self is living light self-aware and complete
this is the non-dual singularity sages seek
we pulsate in space-time dissolved peace
yet to grow in love don organic form weak
what is real and what may we call unreal
God alone is and is the only true knower
do not both duality and singularity entwine
which chakra is higher and which is lower
omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence
enjoying full freedom, is God’s effervescence
resplendent with love and light is God’s heart
everywhere all at once shines His vital essence
“There is no substance whatever which is by nature unlimited. There is no substance whatever which is of the nature of Reality. The very Self is the supreme Truth. There is neither injury nor non injury in It.”
all that is manifest, has a beginning and an end
unreal, a bubble of illusion, a thought projection
puppeteer unknown but puppets wish to ascend
therefore all spiritual practices require rejection
mind propels thought, impulsed by heart’s desire
so heart is where the ultimate truth may be found
at our core therein, ego is vaporised in a bliss fire
consciousness expands, we are no longer bound
presence discovers itself as an eternal living light
at peace, our formless awareness feels complete
possessing full freedom it’s radiance is pure white
suffused with God’s love, pulsating in bliss delight
mind cannot know the truth but soul can become
it is a metamorphosis, a complete transmutation
one with existence, we meld with the cosmic hum
bilocating thus breath by breath is our meditation
“As the self is filled by the Self, so is all filled continuously by you. There is no meditator or meditation.
Why does your mind meditate shamelessly?”
to behold its own reflection
living light takes on myriad forms
each module though one with the whole
hypnotised by the ego, is lost in life’s storms
if we be but still in the void of polarity interchange
occurring between exhalation and inhalation
when intent arises but before its action
these are moments of meditation
ego is but an identity our soul dons
to assist it to safely navigate earth life
as such in truth there is no one here within
our true Self is living light, in peace and bliss rife
the ego as doer or meditator simply does not exist
we are the light that lights all lights in this world
in time stretched silence ego disappears
heart centric, flag of love is unfurled
“Know that which has form to be false, that which is formless to be eternal.
Through the instruction of this truth there is no longer rebirth into this world.”
ephemeral is the manifest universe
held in the womb of boundless space
love in the heart has no need to rehearse
the dance divine being release and embrace
bliss pheromones tingle when our eye is single
all that that then is is the heartbeat of God
in the vast vibrant void polarities mingle
as scattered dust gives love a nod
joy of union and pang of separation
imparts wisdom on the wandering soul
entwined with formlessness and creation
at all coordinates remains blissful and whole
all that that then is is God consciousness alone
why then oh hermit should we have any fear
recognition of truth is the way to atone
within this illusion all forms are dear
”Union and separation exist in regard neither to you nor to me.
There is no you, no me, nor is there this universe.
All is verily the Self alone.”
Hiranyagarbha, the cosmic egg splits
thus in this manner the one becomes two
polarities orbit love in the void
bringing fleeting joy and sorrow we rue
when we choose to make our heart quiescent
poised in stillness we invoke magnetism
the union of polarities in heart
actuates boundless bliss in body prism
in timeless time our eye becomes single
our presence is one with the universe
as one with onenesss, we become the flame
we’re enabled without need to rehearse
there being nothing outside consciousness
we are both immanent and transcendent
as such there’s nothing needed to be done
we are God’s love and light, bliss resplendent
You are not born nor do you die.
At no time do you have a body.
The scripture declares in many different ways -
the well-known dictum: "All is Brahman."
looking back our life lived thus far we see
ego is in bondage but soul is always free
oh worthy hermit, we are not body-mind
we’re born and will die, leaving this form behind
we have visited earth many times before
yet rarely if ever, enter through heart’s door
thus lessons to be learnt, remain incomplete
we’ve embraced not love, felt not magnetic heat
if we but choose the path of thought cessation
our presence becomes one with all creation
ego recedes and our true Self is revealed
resplendent in God’s light, consciousness is healed
silence lets us exit the cage of space-time
soul ascends steadily betwixt bliss beats chime
polarities merge, as pheromones mingle
in timeless time our soul’s eye becomes single
10. “I, the One only, am all this, beyond space and continuous. How can I see the Self as visible or hidden?”
11. “Thus you are One. Why then do you not understand -
that you are the unchangeable One, equally perceived in all?
O mighty One, how can you, who are ever-shining, unrestricted, think of day and night?”
we are containerised in form
and hemmed in by space-time
yet deep within cave of our heart
resounds God’s sublime bliss chime
we tip toe in therein in staid silence
bereft of thought our eye is single
undifferentiated is awareness
as bliss pheromones mingle
all manifestations disappear
we peer through the pores space
light of Self renews itself within itself
truth is known by benediction of grace
in truth the false that died never was
the ego is but an earth life interface
all that is is but light of Self alone
holding reflections in embrace
”The mind indeed is of the form of space.
The mind indeed is omnifaced.
The mind is the past.
The mind is all.
But in reality there is no mind.”
reflect oh hermit, on how thoughts arise
first a stirring arises in our heart centre
ego picks up the impulse before it dies
thus in lower mind, thought forms enter
if our heart be quiescent, thoughts cease
cravings of ego in the vast void we release
all that that then is, is our pristine presence
love and light essence being our quintessence
mind is an instrument to learn and discern
but it is heart where flame of love does burn
therein all opposites dissolve and we evolve
when eye is single no puzzles remain to solve
“I have no mental activity, good of bad;
I have no bodily function, good or bad;
I have no verbal action, good or bad.
I am the nectar of Knowledge -
beyond the senses, pure”
fragmented fickle thought relates to ego
useful of course but we now make it slow
we take expansion as good, contraction as bad
preferring to be joyful rather than sad
but reflect oh hermit, to whom do emotions come
are we not the luminous Self, the very cosmic hum
since we are both transcendent and immanent
pulsations of bliss within us are permanent
Soma nectar flows and we drink to our fill
peering at heaven through soul’s window sill
vagaries of earth life we easily endure
since of heart is pure and innate vibrance demure
5. “The essence and the whole of Vedanta is this Knowledge, this supreme Knowledge:
That I am by nature the formless, all-pervasive Self.”
6. “There is no doubt that I am that God who is the Self of all; Pure, indivisible, like the sky.
Naturally stainless.”
Unreal is all that that comes and goes
Beliefs and concepts are thought constructs
I Am living light in renewal, unending bliss that flows
In the light of absolute truth illusionary ego self-destructs
All that is manifest and formless is singular Self (God) alone
Absolute oneness stands outside of time and space
When ego recedes true Self comes into its own
Oh hermit, there are no puzzles to lace
” Through the grace of God alone, the desire for nonduality arises in wise men to save them from great fear.”
{Nonduality - monistic Consciousness, in which the knower, knowledge, and knowable - soul and God - become one; the highest realization of Divinity.
Fear - The word "fear" includes also such states of mind as insecurity, despair, and grief, all of which arise from a consciousness of oneself as limited and separate from others and which therefore can be dispelled only by realizing oneself as the All.}
_______________________
ignorance is the cause of fear
mistaken that we are body-mind
clinging to objects we hold dear
floundering about as do the blind
freedom within is near at hand
yet to invoke the boons of grace
we must be still to understand
that God holds us in close embrace
“All is verily the absolute Self.
Distinction and nondistinction do not exist.
How can I say, "It exists; it does not exist"?
I am filled with wonder!”
inner light caged
by ego upstaged
whenever tested
in jest we rested
feral lower mind
choosing love kind
awake in the dream
where illusions stream
the vaporised self
dances by itself
suffused with bliss
exclaiming ‘I am this’
