Short Tamas Poems

enslaved by tamas guna after birth ~
we sail not through life bubbling in carefree mirth...

The untended plant
withers away, leaf by leaf ~
a time of indifference.

Why do we falter,
poised at the divine altar,
blaming it on gravity?...

Unforced error, due to stupor
Tamas Guna holds sway
Be a winner, not a loser
The divine entwined way

Love suffused awareness 
One with the That oneness
Dispels stuporousness 

Ego tremor
Unforced error

Beholder, vapour
witnesses stupor.
Magnetism form spears;
Tamas disappears.

Thus feeling complete,
soul negates defeat,
for save bliss throbs dear,
there is no one here.

No sooner we exit stagnation 
Arising from mind-body association 
Our consciousness expands
Enabling us to clearly understand 
Integral wholeness
All one as oneness
Completeness 
Radiating blissfulness 
As active awareness flowing
Is-ness of being-ness glowing

Of Gunas three, Tamas holds sway,
cajoling consciousness to rest,
though the child in us wants to play,
of zest and zeal we’re dispossessed.

Heart contracted and soul’s stance stooped,
we have been by lethargy duped,
yet like the Phoenix we may rise,
embracing each breath in surprise....

we notice our body getting tired 
with lethargy engulfing feeble form
bliss pulsations yet remain vibrant
to this strange paradox we conform

as is inevitable tamas yields to bliss
there is nothing we do in this of course
in the human experience we as witness
observe thus the power of God’s force...

conduit open
awaiting energisation
tamas shaken
wondrous joy ignition

love magnetic
drawing in the current
bliss ecstatic
innate native element

inner silence
merging into the void
love dalliance
being-ness overjoyed

we surrender
our identity in totality
silent thunder 
bliss throb perpetuity

denial of what is as is unfolding
clinging to that that never was
glue of ego spawned identity
we see these tamas spirals
attempting to anchor us
in fear and darkness

our nonchalant eye
entwined with heart
ever bubbling with joy
opts not to trauma bond
with such sunken vibrations 
judging nothing celebrates life...

moment to moment
we detect lethargy
of the tamas guna 
and are astonished 
how gravity confines
the light of our being
in dungeons of darkness 
to fulfil needs of feeble form
wherein at this time we dwell

as of choiceless choice 
we may yield or overcome
the cravings of our ego
either which ways
we are free
the difference however
is the state of consciousness 
are we asleep or are we now awake...

Lucid feeling within void of cessation
with purity of loving intent
throb of presence innocent
though no object as recipient remains

Reoriented thus is-ness of being-ness
both fearless and exuberant
with bliss it’s native element 
feels turbidity experientially in stillness 

Satva in permanence becomes Tamas 
in as our default orientation 
our reflex now loving elation
with renewal of bliss ignition continuous

The
Gunas
out of which,
Tamas stupor
requires to awake,
in shift of awareness
pausing at Rajas aspect,
whereupon we address our fears,
mirroring desires and attachments,
until Satvik stance becomes permanent.

This vibrational ascent is our choice,
attained by looking softly inwards,
melding ego with glowing heart,
as our total surrender,
ever aglow, vibrant,
centred in the void,
devoid of fears
and desires;
our soul,
free.
