Think about earth as a playground
Where we spend some time for learning
Sky above and feet on the ground
Vibrant heart and mind discerning

Here we do become, love enabled
Think about earth as a playground
Freedom when ego disabled
Our soul is then, no longer bound

Does this simplistic truth astound
Self-imposed is our delusion
Think about earth as a playground
Fun unbound, free of illusion

Love alone real, as we know
Let not lowly desires confound
Heart aglow, consciousness mellow
Think about earth as a playground

Quatern

[Unseeking Seeker]

Continuum of tranquil calm
Thought rested stillness
Cessation of volition
Rippleless awareness

Ever deepening quietude
Aliveness vibratory
Time stretched silence
Devoid of memory imagery

Subject-object relationship
Distorted reflection
The canvas is contorted
By interpretation

This-ness here now reality
Childlike surrender
Imbibing each nuance by touch
In an aspect of wonder

[Unseeking Seeker]

Name, a label, for mind-body identity,
which across past lives, we have had many,
as also gender rotation, for an experience spherical,
so this time around, now assimilating our earth life sojourn,
given pseudonym humbly confesses, there is much more to learn

Of traits and quirks and leanings determining innate reflex response,
how may we affirm validity of erst urges we now look at askance,
save that for most part we reside in thought rested vibrancy,
benediction divine, stretching bliss enriched continuum,
each enlivened node within form, our sensorium

Our family tree has myriad branches and leaves,
yet relationships do shift with time, so what may we believe,
prismatic reflections by us seen, honoured, embraced and released
as present becomes foggy past, stored in unreliable memory
whilst tender touch vibrational holds true in continuity

As attention oscillates between form and formlessness,
integral truth of void and manifestation is interconnectedness,
with God alone as our saviour, our heart immersed in fervent prayer
we recognise that presence of soul in body signals attachment,
so we accept what is as is, content in the bliss current

Reduced is fear and diminished is desire, yet ego pursues,
fearful doubts of failing to illumine consciousness still renew,
with Maslow’s triangle of human aspirations an accepted reality,
we wonder why it takes so long for us to choose to surrender,
dismayed at seeing pain, suffering and hearts asunder

We desire that man and nature co-exist in harmony
treading gently on earth, lovingly, tenderly and mindfully,
all hearts in resonation with love, entwined with universal mind,
free of superstitions and narrowness, seeking Gods light,
each being radiating their unique auric hues bright

What may we say of where we live, for who are we
as we embark moment to moment on a blissful spree,
be it for the moment encased in this human material form
or as our true self pristine pure, a being of living light,
doing Gods will, by His grace, each day and night

Our name? Spirit unstained. We are That!

Poetry form: Bio

[Unseeking Seeker]

recognition of our true constitution reveals
we are not merely limited mind-body combine
our soul being encased in five sheaths or coverings
of which the first and grossest is the material organism
the second our pranic energy field, which keeps body alive
third our lower analytical mind or what we call as our left brain
fourth higher mind, which is free from doership, loosely called intuition
fifth our bliss sheath, love essence, joy, empathy, compassion, innate divinity

possibly owing to an aberration in the distant past, our ego became manifest
being simply delusion that this mind-body identity is the all there is to us
self-hypnosis, if we will, urging us to maximise fleeting joy for the ego
stifling voice of conscience and inner polarity of mind and senses
thereby making our soul a prisoner in earth vehicle ensouled
head and heart misaligned, setting karmic force in motion
which simply stated, is deluded hearts unfulfilled desire
causation of reincarnation until all ego desires cease

undergoing cyclic pain and joy in the world external
on reaching point of exhaustion, meld head with heart
stopping movement of thought, abiding in pristine silence
desires and fears rooted in transient attachments renounced
thereby embracing emptiness with our attention poised in stillness
simply looking at thought forms appearing and disappearing in mind
assigning no ownership to them, feeding them not, whereupon they fade
holding our peace, in timeless time, we are graced by bliss explosion within

astonished and awestruck at the fortuitous happening we are disconcerted
knowing not what the sensations within us signify and wary of the energy
pervading our form like warm waves of the ocean lapping up the shore
radiating from inside out, amplitude rising, as we fear for our sanity
at which stage we may choose to accept or block the magnetism
either which ways, the currents resume when free will chooses
our acceptant spirit in an aspect of childlike trust a catalyst
holding us still in the flow enabling bliss in permanence

wisdom downloads and divine experiences follow
layer by layer self-imposed ego blockages drop away
mists clear and we get glimpses of the underlying reality
graced one day by God’s touch revealed in soft white light
accompanied by a message, confidential and known to us alone
which even if shared cannot be understood by other fellow travellers
such is the beauty of this truth, an open secret, well hidden in plain sight
marking a permanent shift in our oneness entwined in-form consciousness

each peak attained but being a new beginning, having seen God face to face
assimilation of revelations takes time to be etched upon the fabric of soul
as we oscillate between the outer and inner worlds enriched by bliss
in but not of the world, recognising that mind-body is an object
with unchanging awareness the subject, empowered by God
who is the one in all and so as we each be so breathed
our core slowly veers towards the singular life force
as we be to become one with God consciousness

devoid of mind, ritual, religion or any dogma
unbound essence of presence yawns and stretches
all embracing, non-judgmental, empathetic and blissful
recognising that each soul embarks upon its own unique path
at the ordained time, all getting to roots of the singular realisation
pointed out in fact by all scriptures but yet accepted only when known
seen and felt directly by each earth entity upon letting go of their delusion
plunging fearlessly into the vibrant void of no-thingness in unbroken awareness

Free verse

[Unseeking Seeker]

how still is our silence, hermit
if we yet calibrate merit
searching, discerning and seeking
inadvertent acts, soul stifling
far cry yet, tranquil calm perfect

Quintilla

[Unseeking Seeker]

Prejudice dark, discernment light
So let us not mix up the two
Distinguish between black and white
Whilst we let not toxic fumes spew

The jaundiced eye is judgmental
Prejudice dark, discernment light
Let then our love be radial
Yet recognising wrong from right

Never disembark from loves flight
Vibrant thus, in stillness sedate
Prejudice dark, discernment light
Wary of thoughts that agitate

Heart aglow, fused with mind mellow
Hold still attention, with clear sight
Go with the flow, yet always know
Prejudice dark, discernment light

[Unseeking Seeker]

we bow down to hearts exalted
helping souls to be uplifted
that we may rise, become as He
there are no others; all is we
all are one; none may be faulted

[Unseeking Seeker]

No exit plan made, since none is needed
Mind-body but a form, we here encase
Never distanced from source, if love heeded

Reins of thought, to ego not conceded
We amble through life, at an easy pace
No exit plan made, since none is needed

Moment to moment, by conscience pleaded
Childlike innocence imbibes divine grace
Never distanced from source, if love heeded

Mindful eye discerns fears to be weeded
Detached, thus no lower desires we chase
No exit plan made, since none is needed

An open heart, is with bliss throb flooded
Divine light radiating from the face
Never distanced from source, if love heeded

Oh hermit, please be not love denuded
Embrace and release! Life is not a race
No exit plan made, since none is needed
Never distanced from source, if love heeded

Devoid of senses and thought, what remains
Consciousness self-existent manifests
Vibrant, pristine presence, pure and unstained

How do we awake, again and again
What is the source of our breath that persists
Devoid of senses and thought, what remains

Wherefrom springs joy, though desires to rest lain
Where grow roots of our conscience that assists
Vibrant, pristine presence, pure and unstained

What is the anchor, holding soul in chains
Boundless bliss beckons; why do we resist
Devoid of senses and thought, what remains

Illusions birth delusion, boon now bane
We can, if we choose, become a bliss mist
Vibrant, pristine presence, pure and unstained

High time we exit, cyclic joy and pain
Let us open our heart, unclench our fist
Devoid of senses and thought, what remains
Vibrant, pristine presence, pure and unstained

[Unseeking Seeker]

Lament not, oh illustrious lama
Simply be still, surrender to Gods will
Distracted not by ego brouhaha

Divine aligned, heart cleansed of erst stigma
Bliss suffused form, with nectar overspills
Lament not, oh illustrious lama

Soul eternal, fleeting our amnesia
Hold steady resolve, ascending uphill
Distracted not by ego brouhaha

Bliss ignition within, our nirvana
All dark voids within, Gods love and light fills
Lament not, oh illustrious lama

Earth life saga, may be free if trauma
Living vibrantly, distanced from evil
Distracted not by ego brouhaha

Ohm mantra, annihilating karma
Receptive souls shaped upon the anvil
Lament not, oh illustrious lama
Distracted not by ego brouhaha
