Stillness

[Unseeking Seeker]

Stillness: Observer mode

Observer-observing-observed from backstage
Observed, being the uninhibited actor on stage
Both us, observer dynamically still
Observed, being watched, now without self-will
Being entwined with the observer, thoughts in tandem
So acting in unison, actions no longer random
Effectively a slow down to stillness
Ego temporarily motionless

So far, so good, all seems tranquil owing to the observer-anchor
But what happens when the observer sleeps, in deep stupor?
It happens when our still-attention wavers
The ground beneath our soul then quavers!
The reflex responses of the observed again manifest
The Phoenix rises from the ashes, who we cannot resist
For we are at any moment only as high or low as that
Where our attention chooses to be at

Stillness: Anxiety antidote

It is rush hour traffic and I am getting late
Cars ahead judged to be moving at a pace too sedate
Not patiently but rather in observational agendalessness I wait ...
An opportunity! In the continuum of be-ness within, I meditate!

Within staid stillness

Stillness : Betrayal

The agitated, externalised consciousness shrivels when betrayed
By a loved one ... with whom self-serving expectations are bound
The boat is rocked, there is darkness at noon, tranquility is swayed
The root cause of disorder in our life is an egoistic orientation, unsound

Stillness recognises not betrayal, having in its pristinity no matter to do so
Stillness is vibrant presence: unexpectant, alive, unclinging & ceaselessly loving
Thoughts, fears, desires, attachments all disowned, distant, ebbing & slow
When betrayal meets stillness, momentary regret arises perhaps but no misgiving

Ego invariably self-servingly seeks, narrows, deludes & bisects
Either enmeshed in past-regrets or future-fears, never in the vibrant present
Stillness nonchalantly observes, outpours love, unifies & accepts
Free flowing & dissolved yet distinct, within the exalted divine current

The stillness continuum of divine-connect
Knows only unconditional love & warm embrace
Nonjudgmental, empathetic, mindful & honestly direct
Always One with the Oneness, face to face!

Epilogue:

A flower is trampled upon by an unknown
By a soul gone astray
Seeds of love within the flower deeply sown
Yet for the detractor pray

So exalted love is the flowers inner wealth
That even when condemned to decadence
With its last dying breath
It pours out loving fragrance

[Unseeking Seeker]

Stillness within conflict

Naked aggression
By the harbinger of tension
On a matter not slight
Where he is wrong and we right!

When kind words & warm smiles
Prove to be futile
We reluctantly take up arms
To defend; not inflict harm!

There is a storm in the sky
Yet the hurricanes eye
Is still
That is free will!

War in stillness, we engage & release
While the acts to be done may not please
Yet we engage exuberantly as ordained
We suffer not but are momentarily pained!

The battle may be gruesome
But whatever be the outcome
When the swords are sheathed
We disperse love as bequeathed!

What is over is over & now dead memory
Why rekindle it by making a summary?
Embracing the now continuum, the all
We hark our inner divine call!

Revelations in Rippleless Stillness

We as the Universe connected consciousness eternal
Resident in the delusional ego domain ephemeral
Discover that the body shell we occupy is a void
Which only when divine love energised is buoyed

In rippleless stillness, all embracing intuitive cognition
Our consciousness expands to a magnified proportion
And our body energy receptors then align
With the staid pulsation of the divine

The divine energy epitomising pure love most exalted
Our presence alive therein in stillness with thoughts halted
The divine love attribute, we : Engage, Imbibe & Assimilate
With the Universe harmonised, our body senses, an interface

It is in the continuum of rippleless stillness
That we absorb the exalted divine essence
Restructuring our core permanently
Automatically, effortlessly & gently

Singularity within Duality

Life cognised now, concealed behind the egoistic veil
New horizons appearing within, as we continue to sail
With an almost imperceptible shift in attention fulcrum
In stillness, our consciousness & Universe entwine as one

[Unseeking Seeker]

look at the moon in wonder!

Once while trekking on a mountain
I chanced upon a magical fountain!

The water seemed alive, aglow and frizzy
It's delightful nectar sent me into a tizzy!

Then my thoughts threw around me a dragnet
And reeled me in like a magnet!

As soon as my attention did waver
That elixir of life seemed to have lost its flavour!

There comes a time
Alerted by the chime
Within
At each moment we begin
Anew
Renew
Our consciousness
The sea of be-ness
The mirrors fall aside
The divine within & beside
All interpretations cease
Direct seeing does please
Limited analysis is paralysis
Undergoing a catharsis
We dissolve the self to embrace
God as love, face to face

In stillness
