Non-judging
All embracing
Non-discriminating
Ceaselessly outpouring

Here the mind centric ego narrow
Regrets of yesterday, fears of tomorrow
Seeks to dismiss love as impractical
Befuddled by hearts radiance spherical

Love not a trade seeking reciprocation
Nonchalantly uncaring even for recognition
Detached from the turbid external ephemeral
Is ever aglow in the tranquil internal eternal

Love then not an intellectual knowing
It is a becoming of free will so choosing
An endless blossoming
Of our soul ascending

Love has many colourations
Bubbling joy, empathy, compassion
All rooted in our innate pristine purity
Ecstatic in bliss renewing in continuity

Within

Great poem, UnSS -

The thing of it is (1) that 'head' is 'mental' = 'seeing' (perception) = not e-motion-al.

On the other 'hand' (of Life), (2) 'heart' is 'e-motion-al' - it can be 'positive', 'negative', or 'neutral' (though. for emotional preference 'reasons', some get caught up in perseverating in one mode or the other)/

(BTW, this second statement gives the 'lie' to Robert Adams' proclamation that there is only 'consciousness', nothing else, that is unless you choose to play shell-games with words, since e-motion is clearly (for anyone who chooses to use the 'eyes' in his/her 'head' to actually 'see' that is) a FACT of Life.

People are indeed (as stated in your poem) able (if they so choose, that is) to attain 'mastery' (that is, to become the 'Captain' of their heart's ship) by focusing their head's 'attention' on and thereby 'discerningly' heart-electing to optimize and augment their heart's Love and Joy process.

'Attention flow' doesn't then just 'start', however. The flow of perceptions and ideas of one's 'head' was, is, and always will be operational. It just 'starts' then being heart-'focused' in a 'disciplined' way so as to enable said 'heart' to break up of the 'prison' of its prior conditioning and electively evolve further by making better choices in so as to optimize and augment its Love and Joy process.

Dems my prose-aic words in relational response to your beuatifully poet-ic ones - Grand 'Seeing' one.

Heart the centre
Where bliss does enter
In silence & stillness feel
Loves boundless appeal

Chakras: three below three above
Anahata central, the abode of love
Wherein within our true home
We hear the unstruck sound ॐ

Hi-Ho Un-whatever-you-aren't -

I am familiar (by way of word of mouth) with the conceptual system you present. If that is what you believe and so expect to be (the case), then that is what you will experience as being (the case), as demonsrated by example in the following video : https://youtu.be/Ua-_wzfu-sc

I, on the other hand, believe and so experience things differently in case you hadn't noticed or, if you have noticed, don't wish to interpersonally acknowledge and engagingly relate to (BTW, since your 'response' followed my post addressing the content of your poem, I assume your words were 'aimed meward. BTW. I may of course be wrong about this as I have a great of trouble understanding Advaita-folks' 'confoundedly' - in my view, that is - non-relational way of quasi-relating.)

Hi David!

It’s quite alright for you to keep amusing yourself! Be assured that in time, all will resolve itself, as soon as you begin listening, instead of imposing. In any case, as you would have noticed, argumentative eristics have no takers.

Oh! You needn’t listen to others though if the ego doesn’t allow it. Simply rest thought and go in, go in, within, in silence & stillness, in childlike receptive innocence. Alternatively, you can reach for another beer and be as you are for the moment. Doesn’t really matter.

Remain blessed

As though I need his 'acceptance' of my doing so - as he continues to 'amuse' himself (talk about the phenomenon of 'projection'). Such 'condescension' is exactly the kind of thing I mean when I reference 'quasi-relationship'.

I appreciate the demo, UnSS.

That is most peoples approach to the matter.

The spiritual people start singing - I wanna know what love is, I think I can show me.

Taking responsibility for the matter of course.

That’s the secret to it Stop relying on others and do it yourself lol. It worked for me. How can you love someone else if you can’t love yourself, anyway?
