What is the void as in no-thingness
Wherein Shiva resides
As the pulse within in our emptiness
In resonance we abide
Awareness & sentience of no-mind
Limited self vaporises
What upon empty space has a bind
As we behold surprises
It is form that being limited may feel
Magnetism within rising
Cognisant of ecstasy in full appeal
The life current vivifying
Meditating thus in continuity
Unifying with Shiva a certainty
We may if we wish, tweak this meditation
Assigning initially to the void a colouration
The masters propose the colour blue
Dwelling upon it our stillness we renew
Slowly allowing the colour to fade
Whereupon we enter Shivas formless glade

In focused stillness slow
We look at our left toe
Then employing visualisation
Affirmation imagination
We see God consciousness rising
The magnetic fiery heat amplifying
Our body reduced to ash
In a searing flash
Holding thus our single pointed attention
Keeping fiery toe as subject of concentration
We merge therein
In stillness sanguine
Taking this practice deeper
Shivas fire as the vaporiser
The entire Universe thus disappears
Nothing remains, we alone appear
As the void of no-thingness

Getting to the ending
Without any beginning
Is this practice of meditating
For instance we are in Shivas heart
Wherefrom we never did depart
It is the fructification of being
Without the process of becoming
If yet trapped in lower mind requiring movement
A navigation in time to measure accomplishment
We may rest in stillness with this recognition
That the here & now is conclusion of our meditation
There being nothing that we need to attain
We rest in silence, desires to rest lain
Ensconced in a bliss mist free of stain

As the rod of living pulsating light
Humming with energy does magnetise
The elixirous divine current of delight
Manifests joy within we cannot describe
Imagine polarities within in divine union
An intimate lingering lovers caress
Fusion causing a slow motion explosion
Renewal of rapturous bliss climax
As one of the limbs of Shivas attributes
Divine bliss liberates & captivates
Love in love with love reflexively resolute
The seductive dance within elates
Thus becoming a transmutation heavenly
Hollowed out empty form ignited
As the explosion renews within continuously
Bliss hypnotic holds us delighted

Now that you are on the Path of Kabir, what truths will you find?
Where spring, the lord of seasons reigneth, there the unstruck music sounds of itself,
There the streams of light flow in all directions, few are the men who can cross to that shore!
There, where millions of Krishnas stand with hands folded,
Where millions of Vishnus bow their heads, where millions of Brahmas are reading the Vedas,
Where millions of Shivas are lost in contemplation, where millions of Indras dwell in the sky,
Where the demi-gods and the munis are unnumbered, where millions of Saraswatis, goddess of music play the vina,
There is my Lord self-revealed, and the scent of sandal and flowers dwells in those deeps.
—?Kabir, II.57, Translated by Rabindranath Tagore

Thump, thump Shivas drum,
Good and bad through body run,
Footprint stomp on primal ash,
Crazy head will kill for cash.
Body mind and soul will flow,
Back to ether it must go,
Crazy head, hand with a gun;
Disturbs our cosmic equilibrium.
Crazy head who wants much more,
Ignorant of times before,
Shivas drum has just begun,
To start the world, again, re-run!
