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 *** |
