Best Cognises Poems
He said
remember me by the shape of my laugh
but I rarely saw a smile
climbing upon his image
left with no choice than
wrap those rare moments
seized with Polaroid seconds
I'm ordering them not to wear blue faces
as that was the only color he didn't want to follow him
consider it done
I'll lineup macarons in every tone
is possible to imagine
I'll spread gummy bears all over that
wooden plate which holds your body
so you can finally perceive
how it feels lying on the rainbow
yes
I'll pare down those blue shades
so that even rainbow cognises
how does it feel
being left
ripped
and no
there will be no rain
Moment by moment, we amble along
Nonchalant to life, as it may unfold
As we breeze thus, singing our own love song
Wondrous unfoldments within we behold
Vaporised presence has nothing it seeks
Present in the continuum vibrant
Bliss rapturous osmotically seeps
To each nuance felt, we are sentient
Mindful eye cognises divine essence
Resident in each pore of our being
Childlike joy is our dance of innocence
Witnessing petal by petal blooming
Simply by being, here and now present
Each cell of our form becomes radiant

Ego as in-form awareness
Enables us to feel alive
However faulty perception
Distances us from God’s bliss hive
Mindful eye cognises each pulse
Both sensory and egoic thought
Viewing them with staid nonchalance
For our blissful soul is self-taught
What the mind-body combine feels
We neither renounce nor embrace
Being but learning for our soul
Imbibed and released by God's grace

“Where is the knower?
Where is knowing?
Where is the known,
or knowledge itself?
Where is anything?
Where is nothing?
I am pure Awareness”
Verse revisited on 27-November-2022
Standing in, within yet apart from the template of space-time
Beyond all phenomenal worlds, resides consciousness sublime
Positioned at a centreless fulcrum, devoid of any ego residuum
I Am presence cognises the all-ness of the manifest continuum
Holding at the Bindu point of singularity Sat-Chit-Ananda bliss
Upon which the mystic affirms all that is, is God, here now this
Buddhist view on aversion and desire,
cognises oscillations between them,
thereby sidestepping consequence dire,
nipping thorns and flowers, before they stem,
equal in dark and star of Bethlehem.
Cessation by negation, age old ways,
far cry from the tantric, who to joy sways,
dancing at all times in celebration,
imbibing within bliss, that always stays,
given to play, in vibrant elation.
One view accepts that what is, simply is,
thus centered in the void, without movement,
choice of non-action, exiting thought quiz,
heart equipoised in quiet contentment,
whilst the other infuses joy intent,
each breath inflow taken as divine grace,
burning yearning to see God face to face,
all acts performed, in aspect surrender,
seeking out the truth, at a burning pace,
whilst beholding Gods manifest wonder.

16.7
“As long as there is desire--
which is the absence of discrimination--
there will be attachment and non-attachment
This is the cause of the world”
16.8
“Indulgence creates attachment
Aversion creates abstinence
Like a child, the sage is free of both
and thus lives on as a child”
Desire being a pull
But why shoot the messenger
Yearning to be full
Becomes the quest of the seeker
Everything vibration
Incessant play in motion
Consciousness choosing resonation
With vibrations enabling elation
Not desire then but indulgence therein
Cause of stagnation
For consciousness detached & sanguine
Unfettered attention becomes meditation
Flowing in the stream without resistance
In the timeless now continuum
Our presence in blissful innocence
Is devoid of egoic residuum

Verses 16.7 - 16.8 revisited on 07-December-2021
Desire, the cause of manifestation
Aversion, the opposing force of repulsion
Oscillation between the two, cause of suffering
Unless we vaporise seeking God in a burning yearning
The mindful eye cognises flickers of aversion and desire
Head melds with heart, then God is all we aspire
We entwine with universal consciousness
In a continuum of blissful stillness
Subject-object merge to become one
Boundless love and light of the spiritual sun
As indivisible God essence, our soul luminescent
Transmutes in permanence into its native divine element
Likening the world to a lucid dream, from which we awake
Liberated while alive, the sage lives for love’s sake
In but not of the world, like the vibrant void
Moment to moment, by God buoyed
out of the frying pan, we plunge into the fire
succumbing thus to ego spawned desire
ephemeral objects, our ego aspires
where are we headed, oh hermit
our deluded cravings have no merit
fallen from grace, head and heart split
bewildered we are, amidst myriad external illusions
blown away like a leaf, is our fickle attention
clear light dawning in void of cessation
that that comes and goes unreal
save throb of bliss nothing has appeal
fire of bliss in our heart, purges and heals
nonchalant soul presence, pure and unstained
vaporising lower mind, divine joy ingrains
unaffected by worldly loss or gain
deluded ego in separateness
slowly cognises interconnectedness
transcending finally to absolute oneness
earth life then thus a journey without movement
discontentment transmuting to contentment
culminating in blissful love enablement

Beholding objects
And space that holds them
Polarities shift
Inner sentience
Cognises soul’s light
A strange fragrance
Of love pervades
Organic form
Which we ensoul
As we taste
Bliss nectar
Joy fills heart
God’s gong
Resounds
Grace
Play of delight, in each touch sensory
Imbibed in slow motion, sedentary
Caring mindfulness grasps it byte by byte
Merging to feel in fullness, lows and heights
In joyous dance, nonchalant and carefree
As we let go of, to get to, gently
No consciousness of body bond weary
Pristine awareness, cognises by sight
Play of delight
The tease divine, explores caressingly
Vivifying form osmotically
It is in the void of stillness, quiet
That we dwell and revel in Gods light bright
Ecstatic bliss renews magically
Play of delight

A sudden flicker of space
Saw inpouring of grace
Activating both wrists
There is no mistake
Since we were awake
Endless are divine trysts
We catalogue this event
Of boons heaven sent
For record keeping
Mindful eye cognises
How magnetism rises
Within our form leaping
Choosing to flow
In stillness slow
Bonds untied
Energy field unified
Bliss does overspill
Spacial calm tranquil
Cognisance of presence
To inner sentience
In stillness does feel
Bliss in full appeal
Thus at ease
Duality does cease
Pulse within stillness
Radiance in fullness
Agendaless innocence
Cognises convergence
Kinetic and potential
As life hum radial
Reception of surprise
Divine currents on the rise
Emptiness vibrant
With itself content
Renewal of consciousness
In form & formlessness
As aliveness of existence
Delighting in the parlance
Of the beauteous dance
Of bliss thus in renewal
Continual

Mindful eye
Cognises
Fickle mind
Porous
Misaligned
Stuporous
Blown away
By thought forms
Like a leaf
Having fallen
Now at the mercy
Of the fierce winds
That abound
We celebrate
This delusion
Offering to God
The experience
Of limitation
In this lucid dream
Of earth life
Seemingly real
Hijacked by ego
Bubble of illusion
Which lives on
As long as
We feed it

Message simple; love is Gods miracle
Innate effulgence of pristine presence
Continual is its subtle signal
Innocence cognises voice of conscience
Tranquil blissful calm, our souls quintessence
Heart our abode, where we remain joyful
Wherein we bask in self-luminescence
Message simple; love is Gods miracle
Current ethereal, caress playful
Endless rapture in stillness and silence
All nodes dance to bliss throb amiable
Innate effulgence of pristine presence
Lower mind urges, crave our indulgence
Presence careful, feral options annuls
Choosing to dance to the divine cadence
Continual is its subtle signal
Negating narrowness inimical
We breeze with ease though life in nonchalance
Stagnation the peril, our debacle
Innocence cognises voice of conscience
Our mind aligned with love in permanence
Enables bliss within, ineffable
On consigning ego to decadence
Pores tingle in joy currents toroidal
Message simple

“flowing like the breeze
with nonchalant ease”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Centred in the void
Connected everywhere
The void omnipresent
Yet anchored nowhere
Identity melted
Each throb a surprise
Presence in innocence
Cognises bliss rise
Thought rested stillness
There is no one here
Save aliveness innate
Awareness self aware
With doer vaporised
No aspect seeking
One with oneness
This form scintillating

Debates futile for each soul chooses it’s path
Doing what heart likes
Until making each breath, a Holy Sabbath
Thunderous bliss spikes
Fears and desires dykes
Wisdom of the scriptures, words etched in stone
Tested time and again
Yet each of us must tread the path alone
Feeling both joy and pain
Slowly cleansing soul stain
When free will chooses to become from fear immune
Abiding in silence
Distilled attention cognises God’s love tune
Rekindling heart’s innocence
Bubbling bliss effervescence
