Enacting this life’s script, for us hand picked,
even though memory has been erased,
our heart knows which boxes need to be ticked,
to navigate this fearsome maze unfazed.
Polarities tango dance in the void,
ambedo trance exits limitation,
whence no longer by lower mind decoyed,
we remain in all time meditation.
Standing erect, a flame of living light,
we observe the pulse dual orbit form,
spurred by divine magnetism day and night,
dissolving at last in love’s benign storm.
Vaporising ego in stillness slow ~
From the front row seat, we enjoy the show
hollow of palms, soles of feet
tingle radiating cool heat
bliss suffused is our head ovoid
essence of presence feels complete
no longer by ego decoyed
we shine as pure Self unalloyed
a living flame that has no name
light where delusion is destroyed
chakras whir without any aim
life is viewed as merely a game
we’re comfortable in our skin
love, light and bliss our claim to fame
With the external world having faded,
we look out for consciousness contraction,
prior to onset of our reaction,
which is by watchful focus blockaded.
Breath by breath by bliss magnetism aided,
our choice to remain poised in inaction,
light of Self subject not to refraction,
bliss of our heart is not for angst traded.
Our is-ness of being-ness is revealed,
being the direct path we walk upon,
refusing to be by thought forms decoyed,
by using bliss beats as a sturdy shield,
that as each heartbeat ushers a new dawn,
we shine as God’s light, pure and unalloyed.
the bubble of ignorance dissolves
noiselessly in the void
for a moment we are free but then it reforms
we are once again by thoughts decoyed
we notice this see-saw oscillation
yet do nothing since no one is here
poised in a stillness continuum
we are free from seeking and free from fear
by thoughts decoyed
unalloyed soul
is toyed by mind
“When injunctions cease and the yogi attains to the supreme Self, his mind being void of differentiations, he has neither purity nor impurity; his contemplation is without distinguishing attributes; and even what is usually prohibited is permissible to him.”
From the field of oneness, dream forms are born,
wherein in truth the monk sees all as one,
so bereft of attributes, ego shorn,
knowing all doings are by God’s will done,
persona childlike, on earth he has fun.
Aura pristine white, pure and unalloyed,
the hermit is not by desires decoyed.
“One should successively take recourse to the objects of concentration, as mentioned by the yogis, in accordance with their subtlety, invisibility, and attributelessness. When through constant practice one's concentration becomes objectless, then, being divested of merits and demerits, one attains the state of complete dissolution in the Absolute through the dissolution of the object of concentration, but not before then.”
All that’s manifest, is but a projection
of thought, borne by our heart’s befuddled desire
and as such the world deserves our rejection,
vaporising ego in the cosmic fire,
whence poised in the void, our presence unalloyed,
is no more by animal cravings decoyed,
paving way for space and time to disappear,
whereupon truth of existence becomes clear.
“The avadhuta, alone, pure in evenness of feeling, abides happy in an empty dwelling place. Having renounced all, he moves about naked. He perceives the Absolute, the All, within himself.”
We flow like the fresh morning breeze,
mood and mode embrace and release,
having obliterated time,
with no demons left to appease.
Poised in peace betwixt bliss beat’s chime,
having no new peaks left to climb,
focus fixated on the void,
on its own heart conjures a rhyme.
Our presence, pure and unalloyed,
no longer by desires decoyed,
enlivened by bliss magnetism,
is no longer by thought forms toyed.
Grace igniting mind-body prism,
we thus transcend every known ism,
transforming as pure living light,
by a magical mechanism.
That all’s one is known by clear sight,
truth stark that banishes the night,
so here now, each moment reborn,
breath by breath heightens heart’s delight.
Quieten mind and gentle the senses,
focus animated, poised in the void,
living in the now, not in past tenses,
no longer by stuporous thoughts decoyed,
shining as the Self, pure and unalloyed.
Let this then be the practice we adopt,
living authentically as we ought.
we are not this limited body-mind
being but a form which we so ensoul
so holding firm focus leave doubts behind
invoking God’s grace that we may feel whole
and enact in nonchalance our life role
breath by breath as a dweller of the void
no longer by hypnotic thoughts decoyed
The pathless path
To assimilate knowing we have imbibed,
ingraining the truth as our reflex instinct,
the vibration must be on our heart inscribed,
by God’s hand Himself indelibly there inked.
On our part, igniting the spark of intent,
doing nothing save granting bliss beats consent,
no longer by thoughts decoyed, we roam the void,
aflame in light of Self, pure and unalloyed.
we notice that head and heart stand apart
so we oft need to employ subterfuge
but when with cravings of ego we part
consciousness takes a leap and it is huge
flowing in witness mode on heart no load
fickle fate that unfolds is but a dream
which impacts us not in the heart abode
distanced from thoughts which from lower mind stream
recognising we’re spirit not this form
we view body-mind as a car we drive
in life centred in stillness through each storm
that thus doing so soul’s light we revive
no longer are we by thought forms decoyed ~
in blissful rapture we dance in the void
Ego is what makes us feel limited,
so if we choose to be poised in the void,
to bliss energised silence committed,
no longer by fears and desires decoyed,
we will reclaim light of Self unalloyed.
Ceasing thinking, our head with heart linking,
we attain pure awareness unblinking.
Poised in dynamic stillness, awake, alert,
bereft of thought, as awareness self-aware,
with the flow of soma nectar, bliss beats spurt,
as we amble along with nary a care,
in quietude observing God’s will assert
His love for us as hearts joyfully pair,
that our self-existent light shines in the void,
whence we are no longer by ego decoyed.
The ‘I-thought’ separates us from the heart,
assuming an identity distinct,
which causes pursuit of desires to start,
resting only when our soul is love inked.
Melding head with the heart, poised in the void,
the light of Self then is all that remains,
whence no longer by ego thoughts decoyed,
free from delusion, heart’s cleansed from all stains.
To reclaim the light which is always ours,
nothing need be done save remaining still,
whence divine magnetism heals our soul’s scars,
on surrendering to God, egoic will.
As we become the all, there is no wall ~
All that that is, is a benign bliss squall
