Verse 18.13 revisited on 21-January-2022
18.13
“The yogi who is liberated while living
has no duties in this world,
no attachments in his heart
His life proceeds without him”
When boundaries blur
There remains no ‘other’
The manifest is God alone
Even this body, we do not own
The thoughts we call ours, inspiration
Drawn into form as of heart’s resonation
Being breathed each moment by God’s grace
Knowing this the hermit slows down his life pace
Detached from outcomes, he lives in the void
In the continuum unending by love buoyed
Abiding in calm thought rested stillness
Ever entwined with the That oneness
Single pointed remains his attention
Bliss suffused, life a celebration
