Ashtavakra Gita 1.3
“You are not earth, water, fire or air Nor are you empty space Liberation is to know yourself as Awareness alone the Witness of these”
Here we are We no longer spar With matters of loss or gain Equal, as of now, be it sun or rain True it is, kundalini has risen Yet did we truly wisen Sushumna ignited Heart delighted
Seat of our soul That makes us whole Beckons us from the heart Where bliss ignition renewal starts We sail through earthy illusions Tranquil , free from confusion Revelations intermittent Yet heart is content
Both light and sound Within and around resound Reverberating like soundless thunder As we imbibe bliss elixir in rapturous wonder Teleported in a continuum of bliss delight Renewing within through day and night What to say, touched by God’s hand Open secret we alone understand |

what stands, in emptiness?
what calls, to the void?
what feels, a phantom limb?
out on the perimeter
beyond all markers
too far to turn back
there is freefall
a beautiful absence of image
but the opposite of blindness
no ground, no parachute, not even the rush of the wind
no end to a descent that never had a beginning

Ashtavakra Gita 1.18
“That which has form is not real Only the formless is permanent Once this is known you will not return to illusion”
Setting aside speculation
We make void, our orientation
Taking consciousness as aliveness
Recognising delusion of separateness
Why then negate this offered experience
So we celebrate play of illusions in innocence
In, within but not of the the turbid world
We meld with bliss currents unfurled
Moment to moment, love entwined
Vaporised, nothing to be divined

1.19 “Just as a mirror exists both within and without the image reflected, the Supreme Self exists both within and without the body”
1.20 “Just as the same space exists both within and without a jar, the timeless, all-pervasive One exists as Totality”
The starting point is to rest mind Ego recedes, leaving thoughts behind That that remains is a stillness continuum Consciousness aglow at mind-body sensorium Whereupon we meld with the bliss current God’s boundless energy omnipresent At the optimal time, touched by His hand We become the oneness itself to understand That God alone is, in-dwelling each form He is the life as magnetic heat warm Both void and manifestation, His essence Our innate aliveness, in truth is but God’s presence Clear truth known if we become a rippleless lake When head-heart align with love, we awake Our earth life purpose is then fulfilled Bliss and wisdom within instilled |

ty for the kind word.  I'm really impressed by how you're playing with the shape of the words here, and the subtle irony that evokes relative to the Gita's theme of appearances. ---- this body of Christ she knows no bounds no seeing the view from outside of the grounds the cage always empty the air always clear how could you have lost what can never be found? |

2.21 “I see no differences or separation Even the multitudes appear as a single formless desert To what should I cling?”
2.22 “I am not the body I do not have a body I am Awareness, not a person My thirst for life bound me to a seeming of life” When we, this feeble mind-body entity Exit stagnation, reclaiming tranquil serenity Slowly, the false drops away, we cease to sway We are ensconced in blissful rapture, night and day Our hollowed out form becomes pure and empty Magnetised by thunderous bliss in continuity We slowly recognise interconnectedness Knowing by grace underlying oneness
Here, within this reflected universe Divine aligned, we sing the love verse Identity vaporised, fears and desires cease Devoid of attachments, we flow like the breeze In but not of this world, as a beacon of love and light We see everything through nonjudgmental sight In childlike trust accepting life flow as it is Aglow within the throbbing bliss fizz We seek neither material nor ethereal There is nothing here, save the divine miracle Each coordinate of the Ferris wheel has equal appeal Only that that does not come and go, being real We play out our earth role in as ordained Unfettered, unbound, soul unstained |

really like that one uss. ----- what are these scents, these sights and these sounds? all the mind does is spin round and round witness the humor, the slapstick churn but stand in compassion for that which does yearn when the infinite void is the place you call home there is no real notion of being alone all that men chase, it races on by a shimmering shadow that flits in your eye rejoining the river you laugh at the rocks but not in the way that the people-peeps mock celestial fire and cosmic stream the endless dance at the end of the dream

3.07 “Strange that knowing lust as an enemy of knowledge, one so weak and nearing death should still crave sensual pleasure”
3.13 “Why should a person of steady mind, who sees the nothingness of objects, prefer one thing to another?”
3.14 “He who is unattached, untouched by opposites, free of desire, experiences neither pleasure nor pain as events pass through” Taking inspiration from the enlightened sage Even whilst lower and higher minds battles wage We have on the one hand animal cravings of a ghoul Whilst on the other, divine impulse that makes us feel whole Thus recognising our feeling of mind-body ferality We rotate sense polarity to reclaim serenity For to imbibe wisdom in definitiveness We must merge in totality with That oneness Whereupon though we know, there is oscillation Between equanimous meditation and turbid agitation In timeless time, boundaries between form and void blur Head and heart aligned, melds with love, as nodes within stir Responding to ego cravings as of body need, not greed Priority shifts to love and light as bliss throbs breed Whereupon though we renounce not any delight Each act is surrendered to God day and night By consciousness transmutation we become free Breezing nonchalantly through life in our each entrée In time stretched stillness moment by moment, love entwined Following the scent of love and playing out earth role as assigned |

5.1 “You are immaculate, touched by nothing. What is there to renounce? The mind is complex—let it go Know the peace of dissolution”
5.2 “The universe arises from you like foam from the sea Know yourself as One Enter the peace of dissolution”
5.3 “Like an imagined snake in a rope the universe appears to exist in the immaculate Self but does not Seeing this you know: “There is nothing to dissolve.”
5.4 “You are perfect, changeless, through misery and happiness, hope and despair, life and death This is the state of dissolution”
Simply stated Our heart elated In time stretched stillness Melding with the That oneness We recognise that the one is in all Thereby desires dissolve in a bliss squall Here, within this reflected universe Our soul sings the love verse Even as life dream plays Bliss in our heart stays
The aspect that seeks Is ego full of energy leaks A bubble of thought imaginary So we abide in silence sedentary Moment to moment, thus divine entwined Living life internally, thus nothing to be divined Vaporising lower mind, becoming a bliss mist Imbibing soma nectar by ceasing to resist Mind-body empty shell magnetised In timeless time, God realised |

8.4 “When there is no “I” there is only liberation When “I” appears bondage appears with it Knowing this, it is effortless to refrain from accepting and rejecting” When we be in a continuum of silence Thought rested stillness, vibrant innocence Identity disappears, the void and we become one Likewise, when lovers entwine hearts, ego comes undone As also when we’re transfixed by a sunset beauteous Rise of mellow blissful joy currents is fortuitous We are, at that time, in our native element Devoid of ego thought sediment
Employing thought as an instrument Default fulcrum the vibrant bliss current Heart centric, as we so align with love divine Essence of presence for God-connect does pine Empty mind-body shell, is by bliss magnetised Resting judgment, nothing weighed or sized Flows like the breeze with effortless ease Hermit mode, embrace and release |

9.1 “Opposing forces, duties done and left undone— when does it end and for whom? Considering this, be ever desireless, let go of all things, and to the world turn an indifferent eye”
9.3 “Seeing all things as threefold suffering, the sage becomes still Insubstantial, transient, contemptible-- the world is fit only for rejection” Earth life manifests sharp contrast Leaving even fearless hearts aghast We are here to energise our potential That we may conjure our love parable For in the domain of light our soul rests Facing adversity triumph earth life tests On reaching exhaustion get to recognition That desire cessation pathway to liberation So ceasing thinking, we meld head and heart In the void of stillness we feel bliss ignition start Our emptiness magnetised by bliss in fullness In time time we merge with the That oneness We are then in but not of the external world In silence we celebrate as soul is unfurled Spiritual heart, here now within our form Enlivened by divine bliss currents warm Layer by layer we see identity vaporise In boundless measure does bliss rise Negating nothing exiting stagnation Flow of life itself is our meditation |

10.8 “For how many lifetimes have you done hard and painful labor with body, mind and speech? It is time to stop” Shhh! Read this one and pause For it is wisdom discerning the cause Of our suffering, feeling of incompleteness Arising from wayward stuporousness Truth this: we are not mind-body Fears and desires shoddy
Let’s admit we have a split personality Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde rotating in continuity Ego driven lower mind fuels cravings of the flesh Spiralling thought forms that freedom enmesh Whilst conscience whispers love vibrations If we listen, we awaken bliss sensations
Silence and stillness shows us the way In tranquil thought rested awareness we pray Oscillations slow down, vibrant is our soul presence We reclaim innate innocence and luminescence Empty mind body vessel, with love resonates Each node within form, to bliss gyrates
We are a receptor and God the doer The doing is all done so let’s move slower We are as He so in truth there is no separation Reality of oneness recognised in deep meditation Oh hermit, this dream life is a reflected reality Womb of silence reveals truth in clarity
Path simple; just align head with heart When desires cease, bliss ignition does start Consciousness is then in but yet not of the world As moment by moment we see bliss unfurled We shine in full glory as the living light Obtaining by grace, spherical sight |

11.6 “I am not the body, nor is the body my possession— I am Awareness itself.”
One who realizes this for certain has no memory of things done or left undone. There is only the Absolute.” Innate vibrant bubbling innocence Dwelling in fleeting world of transience Oscillates awhile between joy and sorrow With regrets of past and fears of the morrow Until so reaching the point of exhaustion Whereupon enters void of cessation Looking towards God for a miracle Ecstatic bliss renewal continual
Abiding in thought rested stillness Our emptiness magnetised in fullness Head melds with heart with love aligned Soma nectar flows through paths assigned We cease to be a doer knowing God the mover Layer by layer delusion drops, our thoughts slower We do nothing yet the doing is done anyway As to pulsations divine we gently sway We are the created and God the creator We see truth clearly, needing no translator Mind-body but an instrument for life experience We stand erect heeding subtle voice of conscience The false falls away as ego does slowly vaporise Pristine presence delights in offered surprise Nestled in tranquil calm, we feel complete Suffused from head to toe, bliss replete |
