Ashtavakra Gita : contemplations on random verses

[Unseeking Seeker]

19.3
“Where is past and future,
or even present?
Where is space, or even eternity?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Verse revisited on 23-April-2022

Sans thought flow that marks time
With stillness blurring boundaries of space
All that remains is the magnetic bliss throb sublime
Inner eye beholding divine light, soft white, by His grace

Having chosen to experience sharp contrast of duality
We celebrate even our illusion of seeming delusion
Recognising each exhalation our form’s fatality
Divine centric awareness has no confusion

With each breath intake the world appears
Sans thought interference, we just feel by touch
Melding with the flow, on exhalation it all disappears
For the offered dream experience, we thank God very much

As the one chose to become two and the two then so many
Our expanded consciousness recognises but oneness
Thus all we see but a burst of thought epiphany
Wherein we’re aglow in vibrant blissfulness

[Unseeking Seeker]

19.4
“Where is Self?
Where is not-Self?
Where is good and evil,
confusion and clarity?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Verse revisited on 17-May-2022

Beginning with bliss kinetic
Magnetism in linear movement
Entwined with soma nectar ecstatic
Purring ignition renewal continual vibrant

Rapture then crystallises within organic form
Each cell of mind-body is centred in space
Rippleless peace neither cool nor warm
Fulcrum from where outpours grace

One with oneness in waking state
Both the manifest and space are one
Fullness in Absoluteness potent yet sedate
Presence melds with source of the central sun

Freedom beyond understanding of mind is ours
Magnetism assimilation, to a silent Om-hum
Beyond all opposites, inner being towers
Consciousness a flaming sensorium

[Unseeking Seeker]

19.5
“Where is sleeping, dreaming, waking,
or even the fourth state?
Where is fear?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Verse revisited on 09-June-2022

Timeless continuum of here, now, this
Peace rippleless, humming with bliss
Holds steady internalised attention
As ever present divine orientation
Wherein heart thus, void-centric
Radiates loving intent concentric
Be it in waking or dreaming state
Magnetic bliss throbs within gyrate
Each life pulse embrace and release
Flowing gently, like the morning breeze
Dreams within dreams do thus renew
Witnessing linear time flow continue
Aware that we’re breathed by God
Of cause, not effect, overawed
Witnessed from fulcrum of stillness
Be it day or night in vibrant blissfulness

I was confused here - are these your words? Cuz, wow. :)

Thanks Miss H … yes, the first version was on 23-Aug-2019, reflected upon again, later. Self-evident, of course, since attaining requires an ego seeking attainment, whilst the bliss mist is void-centric.

19.6
“Where is close or far,
in or out,
gross or subtle?
I abide in the glory of Self”

Verse revisited on 02-July-2022

Manifestation of space and time
Within yet apart from cosmic chime
Screens the play of seeming separation
In an enigmatic dance of vibrant celebration
Where polarities orbit the invisible source
Recognising love as life’s sole resource
Unerring guiding souls back home
Within the reverberation of Ohm

Vibration recognises no distance
Unless the ego entity offers resistance
Consciousness is omnipresent across space
For where is it where we may find not God’s grace
Seeming duality is but a play of prismatic delight
Playing out in slow motion from That one light
Recognised on cessation of heart’s desire
As we so transmute to become His fire
