Renunciation

Look at body-mind as a car we drive,

from which upon death we will disembark,

so we renounce goals for which we did strive,

sailing in the void on an upward arc.

This world is a dream, so it’s unreal,

therefore to which object should we then cling?

Shifting to the heart, we being to feel,

throb of bliss magnetism that makes heart sing.

Divine aligned, mind fixated on God,

objects of the world holding no allure,

at our slow motion awakening awed,

our childlike presence is pure and demure.

We flow with ease, mode embrace and release ~

There are no demons we need to appease

Absolute Consciousness

having been, seen and therefore known

the truth of consciousness full blown

as substratum of existence

etch if you will, our words on stone

there is no space, hence no distance

beheld when we shed resistance

seen in plain sight with our soul’s eye

recognised with God’s assistance

consciousness, the absolute I

is so dense even light can’t ply

energy intense tightly packed

omnipresent, so feels each sigh

each pulse vibrationally tracked

creation here-from is exact

wherefrom the universe appears

as God His will does so enact

State of the all quiet

relinquishing feeling of thought ownership

silence is our default orientation

innate vibrance of consciousness our worship

the void of cessation our meditation

bliss in permanence is then our heart’s flagship

obtaining the power of bilocation

doing nothing yet as all doings are done

recognising clearly God and we are one

4

Light that lights all lights

By whose command do thoughts arise in mind?

Wherefrom arises the breeze of intent?

Who lights the lamp of love, to make heart kind?

What’s the source of the force for soul’s ascent?

Mind of mind, eye of eye and ear of ear,

is verily God, Who dwells in our heart,

immediate, intimate and so near,

recognised when bliss ignition does start.

Sense of separation is delusion,

caused by meanderings of wayward ego

and silence releases our confusion,

whereupon all attachments we let go.

Once with omnipresence in alignment,

we go beyond body-mind’s confinement.

In simple words

Contemplating as a thinker thinking,

self-appraising rate of our vibration,

we dwell not in awareness unblinking

but ego distanced from God’s creation.

It’s not about knowing but becoming,

whilst resting in tranquil, blissful repose,

synced with the gong of Om within drumming,

witnessing how we so metamorphose.

If we see God as another object,

flawed and deluded is our perception

but with ego dropped, bliss rising unchecked,

one with oneness, we evade deception.

Melding with the energy field itself,

beyond space-time we transform as the Self.

6

Paradox of awakening

Thought precedes action, intent comes yet before,

arising from murmurs of a restless soul,

feeling incomplete, though each pore is a door,

to imbibe agape love, that heart may feel whole,

yet foiled by ego that always keeps a score,

so negating God’s light, we make do with dole.

He who wishes to ascend does not exist;

When the false falls, we transform as a bliss mist.

7

The roots

look at the world as an inverted tree

the myriad forms here branches and leaves

in heaven are the roots which we don’t see

wondrous is the magic God Himself weaves

to find out who we are, we must reboot

detached from outcomes, mode embrace-release

that thus doing nothing, we reach the root

transformed as love and light when desires cease

in form immanent and yet transcendent

exuding fragrance of bliss magnetism

we are fully love and light resplendent

God’s grace illumining mind-body prism

such is our soul’s journey without movement ~

descent and ascent for self-improvement

8

Screen of awareness

God is the witness of every cognition,

being prior to spontaneous intent,

source of each and every life pulse transmission,

magic that causes heart to grant love consent,

potent breath sublime, a ceaseless emission,

steadying life forms through descent and ascent.

Though mind cannot know God yet we can become,

one with oneness as the sublime cosmic hum.

Jivanmukta - liberated while alive

We’re seeded as one, polarised as two,

hatched from the cosmic egg, then truly born,

feeling in heart, each and every bliss hue,

that thus in timeless time ego is shorn,

whence light of Self is the glow we adorn.

Having been, seen and so known who we are,

eternal light, shining like the North Star,

what’s imbibed must be assimilated,

else we’ll continue playing below par,

feeling as yet from God separated.

Unbroken awareness of light of Self,

seeing God in all objects manifest,

no residual desires on our shelf,

in midst of movement, poised always at rest,

vagaries of fate laughed off in light jest,

the liberated soul always feels whole,

as a non-doer in his ordained role,

radiating love and light at all times,

holding firm focus thus, his only goal,

heart’s rapture rising betwixt bliss beat’s chimes.

Fruit of knowledge

Immersed in this matrix of space and time,

bemused by desires, we’ve drifted afar

but if we listen, we’ll hear God’s bliss chime,

revealing to us who we truly are.

Made in God’s image, we are living light,

eternal, at peace and feeling complete,

awareness self-aware, vibrant and bright,

standing erect, mirroring God’s heartbeat.

Sin stems from ignorance but when truth’s known

we then see clearly that we all are one,

repaying debts of love owed, we atone,

our aura luminous, like yonder sun.

Ego exhumed, we become the vast sky,

as light eternal that can never die.

Universal Self

God is the flame Who lights all lights,

wherein the truth when we cognise,

beyond space time, peace that delights,

is our Self, which we realise.

Back to form, to see God in all,

dwelling deep within each form’s core,

entwined with gong of Om’s love call,

within heart resounds bliss beat’s roar.

When sense of separation ends,

meaning we transmute as the flame,

no one descends, no one ascends;

this lucid dream seen as a game.

Mirroring God’s blissful heartbeat,

essence of presence feels complete.
