Life comic-tragic
In the world of magic
As long as there is association
With lower mind & body combination

Recognising that we seek expansion
In an unending continuation
Where lies the summit
Is there any limit

Contemplating thus we may see
Mirrorlessly
That the Universe is our own effulgence
Limitless is our magnificence

Shiva the magician
Maya the illusion
Lower mind the delusion
Our choice: freedom or stagnation

Self illumined & shining
Or in darkness stumbling

This practice asks us to recognise
In a continuum of awareness realise
That on one hand we have the external ephemeral
And on the other end of polarity the internal eternal

It is no test
Yet we may not rest
Shifting from Nirvikalpa to Savikalpa
No enigma
One being awareness of thought, mind begot
The other awareness of energy behind thought
Abiding then in thought free awareness
We unify our being with the That Oneness

Shocking consciousness out of stupor
To get to divine realms upper!

Immersing ourselves in both pleasure & pain
Rotating sensations with nonchalant disdain

Dwelling not upon any one extreme
Flowing through sensations as in a dream

In stillness sanguine
We determine

The centre between the two!
Therein abide and self renew

This practice takes the aid of sensory organs we treasure
Rotating, recognising & resting at midpoint of pain & pleasure

Where does the sensation arise
Having arisen, how does it rise
Having risen, how does it subside
Having subsided, where does it hide

So is it then, the complex made easy?
Which layer of hue makes us light & breezy?

Recognising the pulse
Present everywhere at once
Of separation & union
Darkness & illumination
In rhythm with the play
In joy we gently sway
Thus knowing that limitation
A fleeting illusion
Thereby why do we feel contained
Or imagine our soul as stained
We expand to ensoul all forms
Imbibing the bliss mist swarm
Our inner sentience
Bubbling with innocence

Aglow

[Unseeking Seeker]

All objects recognised as one
Likewise for form from the worm to the sun
Being a reflection
Of the one creation
Just as there is one light
Prismatically refracting for our delight

In this definitive realisation we abide
In contemplative stillness reside
Until thoughts are still
Clear & distilled
That our awareness is omnipresent
Momentary delusion making us insentient

***

[Unseeking Seeker]

***

Beginning with perception
Of seeming separation
We infuse empathy to feel
With full uninhibited appeal
Including each nuance subtle
Through dispassion spherical
The pulse of joy & pain
The wax & wane
In each & every other being
By resonance so feeling

This practice not mindfulness
Or pretended kindness
But rather singularity of awareness
Unifying with Absolute consciousness

***

Sitting comfortably
Attentively
Without thought
Mind-body begot
As of our will
We are still

As soon as an urges begins to arise
We let it awaken but block its rise
In suspended animation
This being our meditation

For an unending duration

***

[Unseeking Seeker]

***

To have some fun
All past knowing undone
We employ synthesis
Of devotion & self-hypnosis

Shiva having absolute freedom
Ruler of the Universe as His kingdom
Omnipresent, omniscient & omnipotent
Full of love & light blissfully radiant

We assimilate this as our devotion
Then shift by auto-suggestion
Having merged with Shiva we are one
All powers of the Father are ours as His son

We thus remain within this wave of awareness
Tranquil & blissful & one with the That Oneness

***

[Unseeking Seeker]

***

Wave & ocean one as are flame & fire
We are both the void and bodily desire
Recognising unity between void & manifestation
Unfettered & unbound we flow in blissful elation

Ceasing mind-body identification
Ends all limitation
We are both the transmitter
As also the receptor

Presence within form the meditator
A divine entwined co-creator

***

[Unseeking Seeker]

***

Upon getting to physical or mental exhaustion
Put this practice to test
Wherever we may be we enter into meditation
There & then rest

It looks simple but are we as such spontaneous
Is our devotion both unwavering & courageous

***

[Unseeking Seeker]

***

Employing limitation to exit limitation
Is the practice of this meditation

We wish to know something but the truth is evasive
The knowing elusive yet our search all pervasive

We go into the awareness of searching
Rather than limited ideas precipitating

That awareness which actuates the search quest
In that void of silence & stillness we rest
