Stillness
Presence in stillness
Noise external received by the senses Contracting thoughts also take their chances Bouncing off crystalline spherical perception No point of entry for dualistic deception The domain of inner stillness is rippleless innocence Energised by divine entwined expansive presence Movement of images are watched with equanimity The core untouched, always retaining its vital pristinity Call it all time stillness or any time meditation Presence without thought, divine love fructification Such is the default position of unified consciousness A continuum of alert stillness in free flowing be-ness The body self void is filled with the nectar divine & magnetised By unified non self presence, Universe energised Outer & inner both become one, in the staid, deep stillness Awareness just is, as it is, in a state of expansive wellness There is neither any doing, nor any seeking Save presence alive & aglow within, in motionless being No egoistic clutter, no calculation, no computation Simply engaged as That, in a continuum of ecstatic elation As the That essence, now occupy the body vehicle The That being the stillness itself, egoistic force is null Inner stillness within outer movement, the game is yet played As Universe ordained, zestfully though detachedly engaged |
The shifting stillness fulcrum
Dynamically aware unfettered consciousness Motionless in silently shifting stillness Movement is of the current, not our mind Free floating, unresistant, dissolved, aligned Alertly still & trustingly unexpectant Fragmented narrow thoughts decadent The exalted ineffable divine essence Imbibed automatically by soulful presence Inverted image, apparent reality being illusion Worldly knowledge known to be delusion Inner wisdom ignited within stillness accentuated Effortlessly, as a nondoer, divine-centre gravitated Stillness being nothing but freezing the external Disowning all instruments resident in the ephemeral Movement is at the periphery but the centre is still Self merged in the Universe, as a unified will There is neither any coming nor any going Save an observer attentive to divine energy flowing In just being, becoming, transforming magically Awareness without self, blossoming automatically |
Oxymoron: am still
Am not it, so who is still? Save egoistic will That separate self Devious elf! Dissolved yet distinct In a boundary-less precinct Awareness devoid of thought Divine love begot! Not stillness then but dissolution No self, so no conflict resolution In being, becoming, the That presence One with Universe manifested divine essence! The vessel magnetised Divine love energised Am of the whole, in the now, complete Dissolved in stillness, with joy replete What is stillness then, save alignment within? In the continuum of now, at each moment we begin As ordained, invariably as a non-doer receptor On occasion, a divine-entwined transmitter! |
Stretching stillness
Stretch as in time But time dissolves No thought, no chime Self control devolves Movement imperceptible Not as in linear sizing Subtly perceptible Magnetism rising Presence observing Unfettered, free flowing Joyfully accepting Surrendered allowing Love being the enablement Unreservedly sharing That Universe endowment In connectedness bestowing Wills unify, spirit caring Desirelessly Nonjudgmental pairing Outpouring love ceaselessly Stillness be alive It’s movement heightened fragrance Elixir of life deep in its hive Manifesting as divine radiance No struggle in extended stillness For there is no struggler Presence imbibes the essence Universe is itself the adroit juggler Automatic unfolding In the now Wonderful beholding Within; if we but allow |
Stillness within the flow
Relaxed awareness Consciousness still Continuum of be-ness Voids within fill Automatically The seed germinates Felt within ecstatically Nectar divine precipitates The humming divine energy All encompassing omnipresence Singularity, convergence, synergy Embraced in innocence By just being In aligned oneness Unseekingly seeing Within flowing stillness |
The off-button
Flurry of thoughts; Passing through Not mine; Curious to their origin Familiar patterns; Stale brew Stillness within; Calm & sanguine Fearful thoughts; Feral desires Attachment driven; Whose? Mind is still; Yet the brain tires Awareness staid; Ego does confuse Here it is! The thought off-button! Allowing fulcrum shift! To the still centre! A divine gift! Thanks a ton! Door within open! I enter! |
Stillness: Back to the basics
Nothing new in the electrochemistry It no longer is a scientific mystery Waves Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, Gamma & Epsilon Descending from buoyant ecstasy to a persona forlorn Zodiac signs & rainbow colours assigned to chakras renamed Esoteric yogic techniques, exponents aplenty, all self-proclaimed Fiery verbal duels, by many an argumentative eristic Each it seems is the ultimate mystic Leaving profundity to theorists whose verbosity we acknowledge What matters is assimilated wisdom, not vicarious knowledge So we go in within, alone, in meditational stillness, upon a virgin path Each moment in the time continuum, a holy sabbath What we seek is expansive consciousness & joy eternal And what is eternal is obviously not embraceable in the ephemeral So we chop off perishable egoistic attachments, fear & desire And straightaway plunge our non-self into the divine fire How? In unseeking stillness within ... deep within Where at each moment we anew begin No conflict, no violence Effortless stillness, rippleless silence No agenda, no seeker, no doer We are still, yet there is a mover The flow of the Universe within into which we dissolve Emerging from which we automatically evolve What do we gain & what do we lose? Irrelevant, for we are not, yet desirelessly choose What we lose is our sorrow generating gross contaminant Gain being ineffable, exalted, joyous divine love enablement There is no way; our choice itself is the way Save unendingly effusing love, no rules to obey Thoughts sublime, words kind, actions benign Self, Soul & Spirit thus align Trust the Universe, plunge into its loving stream We need to wake up now, from our narrow dream Upon lighting a candle, darkness is instantly expelled Surrendering to the divine, ignorance is automatically dispelled And that is all there is to it Doable if we do & never ever quit Simpler the truth, it seems the more elusive it is So perplexed we are by life’s jigsaw quiz |
A stillness koan
Expanding bubbles within bubbles within bubbles Circumference nowhere, yet centres multiple Free flowing in the current, although the self is still Awareness still, yet expanding within unified will |
Unconditioned stillness or humble stillness?
So, as much as we are able, we still our thoughts & our body Having previously cleansed egoistic fears & desires shoddy Plunged into meditation thus constituted we are yet graced By the exalted, ineffable divine love embrace Yet, how still is our stillness in terms of its pristinity? Does it not contain some memory linked egoistic vanity? If not, why at each moment in time are we not surprised? To what measure then do we truly allow the Universe to be our guide? If the stillness we engage in be coloured by past perception Our cup not empty, the limited stillness becomes a deception Although we yet receive the divine grace since love judges us not Conditioned stillness may perhaps leave us feeling a bit short As in any experience, in meditation too we anticipate its trajectory Inevitable, since we recall the past experience through imagery What enables, also disables, constrains Boon becomes bane It appears then that abandoning pursuit of unconditioning, we choose humility While knowing that we know, the humble know that they know not the entirety And totally surrender Beholding unfolding within stillness in childlike wonder *** End of contemplation for this moment Until we are presented with a truth more potent Until then engaged in staid stillness We be to become in a continuum of be-ness *** |

Hey... That ripped me to the core. I dig it.. At some point We slow it down What is it? At the core. |

*** Although the word is not the thing The essence of your core gives me wings! :smile: |
Life can be frustrating..
The core never melts down. Only upholds the external venting...:wink: |
Quote:
*** Yes: the core does not melt but are we at the core? The external venting arises from ego seeking more We are at each instant that as where we choose to be at Can we in the choiceless choice always be That? |
Quote:
"That" becomes the ego's struggle? That holds the spaces. That is indifferent. We vent all over the place That remains Us. Unpurified? |
Quote:
*** Touché :smile: I’d replace ‘indifferent’ with ‘nonjudgmental love absolute’ but yes.. no word play, I get the core! :smile: |
Yes, nonjudgmental but not! indifferent.:hug3:
I like it.. Thanks... Blessings eternal flowing from the core. |
Enlightenment is right there, just over that little egoic hill..:biggrin:

Stillness : promising nothing, granting everything!
In stillness, Universe-connected, divine-unified No theorem remains that needs to be derived Love is just love, unconditionally giving & agendalessly unseeking The reward is the divine-connect itself, embraced by our being So stillness promises nothing & we too seek nothing And yet we receive an abundance of divine grace all encompassing For as long as our orientation stands still Within stillness, in, as and one, with the divine will To get to this orientation, we must first transform by choice Walk the talk in reality, high in deeds, low in voice A step at a time, erasing our deep rooted negativity Let’s call it the first step towards curing our chronic insanity The stillness is The divine gives But to receive, we must first create space within By removing age old toxins Abdicating the egoistic throne of thorns Love be the sole garment that adorns Our consciousness In free flowing be-ness! |
Essence of stillness
I Am for I am not, the visible face If ‘I’ be naught, going in within, we embrace ... Subtle divine fragrance, exalted wisdom essence Seamlessly imbibed by our pristine presence Within stillness |
Ripples in our stillness
External ripples often seek to vilify & agitate ... Our stillness within where we intuitively meditate Nonjudgmental stillness interferes with the ripples not The potency of unnoticed ripples thereby becomes naught Life experience increases the degree of turbid difficulty We may chance to face an uncompromising gross entity Grateful we must be to the Universe for the offered lesson But observantly detached to the ripple creating person There being no permanent enemy, irritant or detractor Outpouring of love being our sole energising factor We engage as ordained, then completely exit, feathers dry Spontaneously empathetic in embrace if the ripple creators cry Key lesson : engage as needed for self defence with gusto, not anger Let the coarseness of our past be an unwelcome stranger Carrying no baggage in the now when the event is of our past Our rippleless stillness is in the continuum that must enduringly last |
Shift from conscious thought to awareness in stillness
Fragmented thought being of the self and hence limited Awareness, divine-entwined, free, unfettered & unlimited To access the infinite, we must choose to be present therein Self surrendered, dissolved in the divine current within Employing logic to voluntarily choose direction Without egoistic deflection Beginning with thought, moving to awareness We flow in the continuum of expanded be-ness In silent stillness Allowing divine embrace Our attention rippleless Ascension by divine grace |
Stillness : equal eye
All points on the giant Ferris wheel To the still consciousness hold equal appeal High assumes significance only relative to the low Ecstasy in movement within, oh so slow! Employing free will Persona still Divine love empowers Grateful acceptance of both sun & shower Each moment : embrace, imbibe, release Unexpectant, always pleased Universe bestowed equal eye Free flowing consciousness, without the ‘I’ |
Observing chakras in stillness
Chakras activation, though not even remotely the object of focus Happen to awaken naturally within in silent stillness without any fuss Stillness being the orientation, awakening a divine blessing In as a free flowing being, we are in each instant automatically becoming Accentuated selfless awareness in rippleless still observation Each chakra then displaying a different vibrational coloration Based upon its inherent Universe structured prismatic filtration Higher the receptor fulcrum, subtler the awakening manifestation Stillness instilling a continuum of effortless Universe connect Being thus, we are joyful, blissful, expanded and may choicelessly select There being no actor, no doer, no seeker, we are an unfettered experiencer Will entwined with the divine, we be to become a present moment seer Love enablement being the reorientation, the transformation, the visible effect The chakras tingling & surging, just a happening, a byproduct Observing, witnessing, just being, in stillness deep within Reclaiming unity with the source, timelessly at each instant we begin |
Stillness: Observer mode
Observer-observing-observed from backstage Observed, being the uninhibited actor on stage Both us, observer dynamically still Observed, being watched, now without self-will Being entwined with the observer, thoughts in tandem So acting in unison, actions no longer random Effectively a slow down to stillness Ego temporarily motionless So far, so good, all seems tranquil owing to the observer-anchor But what happens when the observer sleeps, in deep stupor? It happens when our still-attention wavers The ground beneath our soul then quavers! The reflex responses of the observed again manifest The Phoenix rises from the ashes, who we cannot resist For we are at any moment only as high or low as that Where our attention chooses to be at |
Stillness: Anxiety antidote
It is rush hour traffic and I am getting late Cars ahead judged to be moving at a pace too sedate Not patiently but rather in observational agendalessness I wait ... An opportunity! In the continuum of be-ness within, I meditate! Within staid stillness |
Stillness : Betrayal
The agitated, externalised consciousness shrivels when betrayed By a loved one ... with whom self-serving expectations are bound The boat is rocked, there is darkness at noon, tranquility is swayed The root cause of disorder in our life is an egoistic orientation, unsound Stillness recognises not betrayal, having in its pristinity no matter to do so Stillness is vibrant presence: unexpectant, alive, unclinging & ceaselessly loving Thoughts, fears, desires, attachments all disowned, distant, ebbing & slow When betrayal meets stillness, momentary regret arises perhaps but no misgiving Ego invariably self-servingly seeks, narrows, deludes & bisects Either enmeshed in past-regrets or future-fears, never in the vibrant present Stillness nonchalantly observes, outpours love, unifies & accepts Free flowing & dissolved yet distinct, within the exalted divine current The stillness continuum of divine-connect Knows only unconditional love & warm embrace Nonjudgmental, empathetic, mindful & honestly direct Always One with the Oneness, face to face! *** Epilogue: A flower is trampled upon by an unknown By a soul gone astray Seeds of love within the flower deeply sown Yet for the detractor pray So exalted love is the flowers inner wealth That even when condemned to decadence With its last dying breath It pours out loving fragrance |
Stillness within conflict
Naked aggression By the harbinger of tension On a matter not slight Where he is wrong and we right! When kind words & warm smiles Prove to be futile We reluctantly take up arms To defend; not inflict harm! There is a storm in the sky Yet the hurricanes eye Is still That is free will! War in stillness, we engage & release While the acts to be done may not please Yet we engage exuberantly as ordained We suffer not but are momentarily pained! The battle may be gruesome But whatever be the outcome When the swords are sheathed We disperse love as bequeathed! What is over is over & now dead memory Why rekindle it by making a summary? Embracing the now continuum, the all We hark our inner divine call! In stillness |
Revelations in Rippleless Stillness
We as the Universe connected consciousness eternal Resident in the delusional ego domain ephemeral Discover that the body shell we occupy is a void Which only when divine love energised is buoyed In rippleless stillness, all embracing intuitive cognition Our consciousness expands to a magnified proportion And our body energy receptors then align With the staid pulsation of the divine The divine energy epitomising pure love most exalted Our presence alive therein in stillness with thoughts halted The divine love attribute, we : Engage, Imbibe & Assimilate With the Universe harmonised, our body senses, an interface It is in the continuum of rippleless stillness That we absorb the exalted divine essence Restructuring our core permanently Automatically, effortlessly & gently |
Singularity within Duality
Life cognised now, concealed behind the egoistic veil New horizons appearing within, as we continue to sail With an almost imperceptible shift in attention fulcrum In stillness, our consciousness & Universe entwine as one |
look at the moon in wonder!
Once while trekking on a mountain I chanced upon a magical fountain! The water seemed alive, aglow and frizzy It's delightful nectar sent me into a tizzy! Then my thoughts threw around me a dragnet And reeled me in like a magnet! As soon as my attention did waver That elixir of life seemed to have lost its flavour! |
I told you to bring the scotch...:wink:

*** :smile: :hug3: |
There comes a time
Alerted by the chime Within At each moment we begin Anew Renew Our consciousness The sea of be-ness The mirrors fall aside The divine within & beside All interpretations cease Direct seeing does please Limited analysis is paralysis Undergoing a catharsis We dissolve the self to embrace God as love, face to face In stillness |
Still & fulfilled
Flurry of activity In which immersed Engaged in with levity Bubbles of joy dispersed Periphery moves Am at the still centre To the music we groove Conversation a light banter Agendaless doing Outcomes of no consequence Nonjudgmental viewing Aura aglow in magnificence Stillness the default status Life is a breeze No egoic hiatus God is so easy to please! |

*** Thanks but you know better Thought matter It’s orgin Is not virgin :smile: |
Single eye
I see The single eye It approaches In stillness Implants, enables Unadulterated wisdom Singular vision In stillness The void within fills With love divine Which we become In stillness Love we were Love we are Embraced in joy In stillness The bubbles of ignorance Which never were Burst noiselessly In stillness |
Quote:
That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. :smile: |

*** Easy sharing But the pairing ... Imbibing Absorbing Assimilating Resonating ... Just kidding! :smile: |
Kindergarten tales: Frog in a Pond
A frog, confined in a small pond Of which it grew very fond Fear of freedom Confined it to its narrow kingdom The swirling river adjacent Ever present Invited the frogs presence In loving innocence Restrained by fear of the unknown Pond a seeming secure zone A self made prison Of egoic froggy-vision One day a snake vicious Seeing the frog so delicious Entered! The frog didn’t hesitate or quaver Without thought, jumped into the river! Thoughts frozen, in stillness supreme Free flowing, surrendered to the stream Embraced a never seen world so magical! Delighted to observe its own inner joy amicable! Free flowing, unfettered & unthinking Ecstatic, expanded & trusting Ineffable joy & inner wellness Imbibed & assimilated in intuitive be-ness The frog thus evolved, in stillness! |
