we’ve been told, God is love
and so it is
the clear truth undisguised
for mind, love is a concept
ego may adopt it as a practice
because it is fashionable to do so
generating within a feel good factor
of a doer doing something
thus deepening delusion
for heart that feels
soul recognises blockage
childlike playfulness long lost
innocence of presence ravaged
walls of resistance are built
which blocks porosity
but there’s hope
through prayer
in surrender
to so transform
by inviting grace
with steadfast resolve
and if head and heart align
with pulsations of magnetism
we slowly become love enabled
reflex instincts honed and gentled
by contemplating on our responses
moment to moment in waking and dreams
until there remains within us pure love alone
non-judgmental eye oozing compassion
flame held steady in sconce of bliss
pulsating within by day and night
exuding a sublime fragrance
recognising we all are one
being breathed by God
wonderstruck we see
His light in all hearts
Feeling each pulse
Hoping we will
Radiate love
looking back at our life led so far
engaged in needless strife and spar
we regret now the blood we spilt
wish to atone, heart laden with guilt
churches, temples, mosques hollow
for awakened not was soul’s glow
we thus discarded conditioned belief
shifting into silence to obtain relief
distanced from outer world humdrum
we heard with God’s cosmic drum
we saw the leaf of identity drop away
revealing soul’s light clear as day
sans identity, resting in our luminosity
ineffable peace heart’s porosity
renewing itself within itself, joy replete
God’s living light, feeling complete

Our porosity
Inpours receptivity
Connectivity
Space permeates creation
Caressing each sensation
12-January-2021
Fearlessly walks innocence
On the edge of a precipice
In form bursting bliss
Of consciousness
Purity & porosity
Enables continuity
Of the pulse divine
Love does assign
Focused attention
Without oscillation
Resolute fortitude
Amplifying magnitude
Of bliss electricity
As a singularity
Of our being witnessing
Beauteous blossoming
As the divine draws near
We alone hear
Our silent scream of delight
As bliss within does ignite
Each lifetron simultaneously
Rapture renewing continuously
Mind & body thus vaporise
To embrace surprise after surprise
Give it any name
But we are no longer the same
28-July-2020
Inevitable that our past
Indulgence in many an unholy repast
Brings now ego borne ferality
Seeking to penetrate our open porosity
Having no fear we do not resist
Our emptiness within offering no target
Grossness seeking an anchor
But there being no corresponding rancour
Onto which it may attach
Past karma whizzes by leaving us unscathed
As ordained the arrow penetrates
However flies by harmlessly unable to permeate
There being in our presence
Nothing else save the elixirous blissful fragrance
As a mist of bliss
Identity vaporised in the divine entwined caress
The external inconsequential
Ensconced in love beholding the divine miracle
The flowing continuum
Observed in dynamic stillness from the fulcrum
As the spacial void
In & within the flow of life we are always overjoyed
Dharma
Annihilating karma
