bliss is the subtlest of the five sheaths donned
a steady hum of divine magnetism
fixating focus, taking us beyond
symbols, forms and labels of every ism
igniting here now our mind-body prism
simply stated bliss mirrors God’s heartbeat
rapture unbound that never does deplete
life calls
we pause
to discern
heart’s impulse
as Self
divine entwined
then act
in spontaneity
fixating focus
without effort
in nonchalance
on tasks
that await
fulfilling them
with zest
and zeal
in this
lucid dream
Having been, seen and so known
light of Self, we now atone,
by fixating attention
on God, for soul’s ascension.
We know we’re not body-mind,
so we’ve left all fears behind,
poised always in witness mode,
heart being our true abode.
We’ve come here to love and learn,
transforming feeble form urn,
by exhuming the ego,
whence truth of God, we then know.
Tranquil silence paves the way,
to see the light, clear as day,
pure heart imbibing God’s grace,
in time beholding His face.
Holy books do have their use
but if love be our heart’s muse,
recognising all are one,
nothing else then need be done.
as form, we dissolve
in the stream of bliss
as divine magnetism, we engulf
body urn so yearning
to connect
who on earth can name
the resultant rapture splash
brought about by love’s embrace
fixating attention thus in meditation
in an unbroken continuum
feel the compelling pull
of divine bliss magnetism
toroidal effervescence radial
surging in all directions at once
arising from a centreless fulcrum
fixating thus our focus within
that as we are transformed
clear light in time dawns
Dear Valentine.
It all began in 1970, some 55 valentines ago.
Initially, there was a beautiful citing of YOU.
And quite suddenly, there was a thought of US.
That thought led to a longing desire for execution.
Deep within me was a fixating calculation of means.
The actual procument of resources came next,
Which led to a joyous celebration of YOU and ME.
Resulting in pure elation and satisfaction.
Happy Valentine, my bride.
Close your dream filled eyes
Quiet your anxious, loud mind
Run wild from the intrusive taunts
Fixating, gossiping over you in silent,
Yet understood tongue.
Let the lies of yourself fall through
Unravel the programming stringing you along.
Step in surety, embrace the unknown
Befriend uncomfort - watch yourself grow.
Beneath your sadness and tears of dew
Rests a welcoming child your heart once knew.
Greet them in play, spark up a chat
Let dance the flow of life as it once was.
Invoke change, shake it’s hand
Say hello to strangers you may never know.
Spend days away from civil happenings
Only passable roads lie between you and freedom -
From all that is truly needed.
Recognising thought as but play of shadows,
aimed at fixating attention on this form,
befriending silence we strike a tranquil pose,
distancing ourself from this ego spawned storm.
Being as we are, as love and light and bliss,
heart delights as polarities within kiss,
brought forth by the dance of divine magnetism,
igniting head to toe, our mind-body prism.
Accepting omnipresence of boundless space
and fixating our attention upon it,
we notice that from its pores in-pours God’s grace,
recalibrating consciousness bit by bit,
as our steps to heaven we slowly retrace,
requiring lamp of love in heart to be lit.
Silence, stillness and total thought cessation,
pierces the veil of space in meditation.
Who in truth we are, we know not,
no wonder then, we are fear fraught,
since it's certain we will soon die,
reducing consciousness to naught.
Save in moments when love draws nigh,
we rarely reach bliss rapture's high,
drifting rudderless in the void,
nurturing thoughts that makes heart sigh.
Day and night, by dark desires toyed,
negating truths sung by Pink Floyd,
we ponder how we may reclaim
light of soul, pure and unalloyed.
There's no use to play the blame game,
so fixating on God our aim,
upon melding our head with heart,
bliss then becomes our claim to fame.
No doubt silence is a learnt art,
causing bliss ignition to start,
revealing we are living light,
enriched on adding love to cart.
This is how we garner clear sight,
byte by byte adding bliss delight,
in cave of heart, where God resides,
who reveals His form, lustrous white.
nothing much to report
except renewal
continual
of vibrant stillness
that betwixt bliss beats
enlivens presence
with the flow
of soma nectar
dripping through nadis
bringing thus to life
dormant nodes
that all then conjoin
tango dancing in unison
creating a rhythm
that amplifies
bliss reverberations
fixating fickle attention
in the world within
aglow aflame
with magnetism
transmuting our form
into living light
at our core
wherefrom stirs
ethereal reverberations
fulfilling will of God
here and now
normal not the norm
when manifests a storm
of rapturous bliss thunder
rising from deep down under
vibrant pulsation of magnetism
igniting our mind-body prism
both by day and by night
heightening delight
ignition in renewal
resurrection continual
thus fixating our attention
in a continuum of meditation
with no effort at all on our part
felt as a flame in our heart
as the effervescence
of soul’s presence
the staff of power vibrates within
manifesting potent magnetism
surging forth from inside out
to which we grant consent
since the bliss current
grips our attention
fixating focus
in body urn
burning
thus
rotating polarities totally
we become formless awareness
wherefrom we observe the body-mind
intrigued at how this organic form responds
to the pulse of duality wherein it is here immersed
so we cajole its hypnotised consciousness to wake up
recognising that its temporary aliveness is borrowed from God
and so with this contemplation we merge both aspects
the one with form as also the one that is unbound
that a bliss energised stillness reverberates
fixating focus on this renewal continual
at play within the body apparatus
which for now we do ensoul
fire without smoke
generating cool heat
burns at our very core
infusing bliss magnetism
fixating soul’s attention
in the effervescence
surging forth thus
