Seated anywhere we visualise there is no support
Our body restful & independent of matter holds its fort
Whilst knowing that we are seated
We recognise not the chair that has so facilitated

Attentive thoughtlessness
God connectedness

Riding a horse or driving along a bumpy road
We follow swaying body rhythm getting to the centre
We cognise intuitively without letting lower mind goad
At the centre of our movement is where Shiva enters

Within

If we chance upon a blue sky cloudless
We simply gaze upon it in meditation continuous
Oblivious to all else including our bodily form
Imbibing in stillness the elixirous bliss swarm

Our skull expands
Encompassing all of space
Love & light the energy band
Bestowed by grace

What then remains
As skull and sky merge as one
Singular focus lower mind slain
Nothing to be done

We go in deep
Into waking, dreaming & deep sleep

Recognising singularity
Astonished at duality
When bliss does us smother
Who is the other?

We thus contemplate
God being in all states
What is the source of awareness
Where resides memory in consciousness

Between the differentiated states of being
Or in the void of cessation of breath flowing
Or the one becoming two to climax in union
Let the pause of eternity be God meditation

Slipping gently from state of waking to dreaming
Where falls the tumbler if awareness be unblinking
Likewise who is the mover, the cogniser in the void
Which aspect is disconcerted whilst yet overjoyed

The web of maya having layers enticing stagnation
Each revelation we behold yet bound in limitation
When the cogniser of experience himself disappears
No questions remain as Shiva Himself appears!

On a moonless dark night it is raining
We gaze into the black void and begin meditating
The rain pitter-patter a rhythm consistent
Holds our attention as does the inner sound current

We then melt into the void

A believe it or not meditation!
Trance like auto-suggestion?
Let us see ...
Mirrorlessly ...

We are in a dimly lit room
Frivolous thoughts we gently broom
Sitting in silence, aspect innocent
Of the faint room light cognisant

We then initiate an intent marked with purity
To close our eyelids and mediate in continuity
Upon the void of vibrant darkness within
Imagination rested, yearning for God recognition ...

Our eyes are yet open for intent is not yet action
We immerse ourself in the gap to bestow traction
That that in our wholeness prayerful
We close our eyes in a trance meditational

Our restful attention is peaked, poised & alert
Lower mind rested the darkness is our consort
We remain thus imbibing nuances of the void
Our heart ignited and as always overjoyed

No one remains within to choose exiting this meditation
For having melted in the void at Shivas own suggestion
He Himself alone may choose the moment of closure
The inky void His heart radiating love beyond measure

When finally our eyes open we remain yet in darkness
For what else remains having merged our consciousness
Yet if we become aware of the dimly lit room light
The tantra practice asks that next time we get it right

Are we yet a bliss mist
With no identity that resists

Whether by accident or design
We employ body sensation to align
With the divine

Striking any body part to generate pain
Dissolving therein would not be in vain
The void poignant pure & free from stain

Let the zenith of pain be where is our attention
The peak being the void of our meditation
Wherefrom Shiva manifests bestowing benediction

This is the meditation of induced astonishment
Fulcrum of consciousness nestled in contentment

Save for the wily fox
There is no paradox

To get to what we want
Here is Bhairavas prompt

Take the manta AUM (ॐ)
At the moment of intent the silent hum
The first alphabet ‘A’
That would propel bliss to hold sway
Remains unvoiced in the pause pregnant
That that left unsaid a silent sentiment

Holding attention thus in a continuum of astonishment
Fulcrum of consciousness remains nestled in contentment

Of inner silence

Getting to the ending
Without any beginning
Is this practice of meditating

For instance we are in Shivas heart
Wherefrom we never did depart
It is the fructification of being
Without the process of becoming

If yet trapped in lower mind requiring movement
A navigation in time to measure accomplishment
We may rest in stillness with this recognition
That the here & now is conclusion of our meditation

There being nothing that we need to attain
We rest in silence, desires to rest lain
Ensconced in a bliss mist free of stain
