As the attainments of others never assure one's own success
So their deafening failures shouldn't hold back one's progress

Weighed and Found Wanting
By: Tom Wright
3/27/2006
The greatest attainments in the life of man
Takes rest on the lightest side of the scale.
Things penetrated only by our imagination
Are quickly weighed and also found to pale.
Burning yearning for connecting
With God’s luminescence
Ego cravings deselecting
To imbibe bliss essence
There is no code to crack
Nor attainments to hack
For God has got our back
Prayer searing
Burning yearning

Quietus
Tamas cajoles us to stick with routine,
whilst Rajas as the cauldron of desire,
seeks attainments which are as yet unseen
and so we oscillate until we tire;
then Satva gentles our heart’s raging fire.
The gunas three twirl our ego around,
though the light of our Self is never bound.
Memory recalls epiphanies gone by,
which although are but signposts along the way,
the fact that they’ve appeared, we cannot deny,
interfering with heart’s spontaneous play,
which would if it could, let bygone moments die,
so instead of holding such thought forms at bay,
we embrace and release each impulse received,
no attainments sought, no cause to be aggrieved.

fox pudding country--
oh my default performance
at manual bat!!!!!
(2)
profundity dung
preaching lard mop alchemy--
bum in Atlantis
(3)
putting my fortune
into charming herdsman's romp--
a tainted stuntman
(4)
putrefying glut-
ton's another monthly corpse
taunting attainments
(5)
pignut putty fumes
from slothful melting acorn
rot haunt iguanas
lonely heart tremulously beseeches
the inky black void
the universe responds, bliss fills us
delusion’s destroyed
a verse begins to be formed in mind
heart distils emotion
presence draws by resonance elixir
of love’s magic potion
lower mind would have us so believe
in attainments unreal
save holding God’s hand like a child
nothing holds appeal
within darkness too, we see the light
it’s glow self-luminous
we’re now way past the stage of fear
bliss rise is continuous
