“Emancipation (Kaivalya) is obtained when one realises the oneness of this Self with the universal Self, the Supreme Reality.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
from jiva, Atma to Paramatma
our ego, the Self and God absolute
this is the pathless path we need to cross
attained in stillness, if heart’s resolute
thought cessation exhumes fear and desire
starved of attention, our ego then dies
we then behold our Self as living light
where seeking ends, each heartbeat a sunrise
yet beyond Self is Brahman absolute
luminous darkness containing the all
God is the substratum of existence
the consciousness within which we stand tall
body-mind alone is caged in space-time
whilst transcendent Self mirrors God’s heartbeat
we all dwell in God and He dwells in us
recognising the truth, we feel complete

“The Atom under the influence of Chit (universal knowledge) forms the Chitta or the calm state of mind, which when spiritualized is called Buddhi, Intelligence. Its opposite is Manas, Mind, in which lives the Jiva: the self with Ahamkara, Ego, the idea of separate existence.”
~ extract from ‘The Holy Science’
Mistaken that we are this body-mind,
we then seek to enhance its well-being,
caring not to become divine aligned,
delusion that prevents us from seeing.
Dwelling in darkness we remain as such,
accepting our assumed limitation
till ceasing thinking, we live life by touch,
rapturous in all time meditation.
Ego is but an earth life interface,
helping soul to navigate this terrain.
Believing we are it, is our disgrace,
yet with false sense of pride we wear this chain.
Shifting into silence, coming undone,
we then realise God and we are one.

“Where are creation and destruction?
Where is the end and the means?
Where is the seeker?
Where is attainment?
I am One”
Verse revisited on 04-November-2022
Dipping in and out of dreams that appear
Bliss is the constant that does form spear
And whilst mind-body too we see in decay
Bubbling rapture of is-ness is here to stay
We feel complete when with love we meld
In that continuum there is no will to bend
For all that is, is singular blissful presence
Vibrance of love and light's luminescence
The aspect of seeming ego consciousness
Arises and subsides in the sea of oneness
Awareness self-aware that's always alive
In and out of myriad illusions does so dive
Thus when we negate both fear and desire
There remains no fleeting object to aspire
Jiva, Atma and Paramatma merge as one
Singular soft white light of the central sun
Notes: Jiva = mind-body; Atma = Soul; Paramatma = God

"May all sentient beings be at peace,
May no one suffer from illness,
May all see what is auspicious,
May no one suffer.
Om peace, peace, peace" -
Ancient Indian Prayer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All five fingers of our hand
Achieve great feats for united they stand
Together they become one
No ego each helping everyone
All feel they are part of one body
They are doing for self not another body
Are we not a part of larger whole?
Even if one is not well, it effects the whole!
We are a part of our creator,
No one is less, none greater
If we thought like parts of our body
It will usher happiness for everybody
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TRANSLATION
The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.-
Bhagvad gita chapter 16, Verse 7
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This happened when my father passed away.
During rituals my sister saw
father and all dead relatives.
We saw space, she saw them all.
My father talked to me.
She saw him talking.
I couldn't see
anything
except
Space!
~~~~~
Nothing is empty. Everything is filled.
It's just that human eye cannot see.
God is omnipresent, not seen.
We are part of creator,
we exist within him.
God is everywhere.
Everything God.
Nothing is
empty
space!

How may we awake
being the object dreamed by the dreamer
tied to the ego stake
how may we align to be one with the creator
The clues do abound
in the pulsation of each heartbeat & breath
in stupor we are bound
serpentine ego retaining doership in stealth
Choosing to vaporise
melting into the vibrant void in total surrender
with no ego left to size
we then be to become essence of the wonder
It is our reflex instinct
resonating with love allowing no lower vibration
in hues of bliss inked
unbroken awareness continuum our meditation
This samadhi state
wherein jiva & Atma & Paramatma become one
as bliss within elates
no difference remains between He & we his son

As our heart expands
enveloping both polarities
bliss within permeates
in a lingering loving tease
The head ovoid above
participates in this dance
Ajna & Sahasrara delighted
unbound is their exuberance
Shift within being a yearning
to melt & merge with the divine
jiva & Atma & Paramatma one
as in total surrender we align

Are we like pebbles on the bed
of a great lake when we are dead,
with fate that chose to give us breath
skimming us forward towards death,
gives our momentums skip and flight
in times sequence of day and night .
Propelling onwards, fading rings
marking the surface as each wings,
routing a common destined role ,
do nephesh, jiva, atma, soul,
sink into dark enfolding deep,
cold stone eternally to sleep ?
