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.”
We now enter still waters deep
Rejecting all knowledge we so far chose to keep
The reason we invariably tend to self destruct
Is owing to sole dependence upon the mind body construct
Whilst we are endowed with the power of discrimination
We choose to be blind to reality being caught up in stagnation
Though knowing that in this world of duality everything has polarity
Only the few detached rotate images viewing their sphericality
Simply stated to exit the evident confinement
We need to bring about inner alignment
In thought & word & deed
Employing the mind-body as our steed
First we must recognise the coordinates of reference
Before plotting path of preference
Let us then begin by taking the opposing view
That the mind body is the all with thought senses & sinews
We immediately see that it is a cage bound in narrowness and limitation
Our divine connection through conscience promising boundless bliss & elation
Seeing this polarity we have on one hand the external ephemeral
And on the other the unknown but seemingly limitless internal eternal
We know we are awareness independent of senses and thought
But we are now swamped by fears & desires all ego begot
Our dilemma then akin to a drug addict
In denial of truth even if succinct
Awareness survives death of bodily form
As does Divine Love felt within as magnetism warm
The truth then clear yet the realisation elusive
For as long as we dwell in symbols and illusions allusive
No sooner we choose to internalise our consciousness
We reclaim our freedom as formless awareness
All we need to do is to use our free will
To exit delusion by keeping our attention still
Allowing our cup of joy to overspill
