Non-Dual Existential Truth: A POEM

Image
POEM  No gods to fear, no idols to embrace, Worldly dreams will fade and leave no trace. Creator, creature, not a separate pair, Only one Self, beyond all worldly care. You are the Witness, endless and so bright, Pure Consciousness, the infinite, true light. No form describes, no words can truly tell, This silent knowing, where all spirits dwell. All is one Self, serene and ever free, The boundless Being, eternally. No maker here, no thing to make, Just awareness, for goodness sake. It watches thoughts, it sees the deeds, Untouched by wants, untouched by needs. No me, no you, a single stream, The Self beholds the waking dream. The world we touch, a vibrant, fleeting show, False idols, books, where restless spirits go. This spinning wheel, this life of joy and pain, Is but a dream the busy mind will feign. Seek not afar for God, a distant light, Your true self waits, divinely pure and bright. This worldly grip, a shadow we embrace, Will vanish when you know your inner space. You are...

Radical Non-Dualism of Ashtavakra Gita

Image
Short Note on the Ashtavakra Gita's Non-Dualistic Existential Truth The Ashtavakra Gita presents a profound Advaita, non-dualist view of existence. God, or existential truth, is not a distinct entity separate from one's inner true self, which is pure awareness. Existential truth represents the absolute, formless Self or pure consciousness, Atman, present within each of us and surrounding us as the absolute oneness. INSPIRED POEM The world you see, a dream so grand, Is but the Self, in every land. No separate God, no distant throne, You are the Truth, you are the One. Formless and vast, beyond all name, Within your heart, the cosmic flame. The universe is you, and you are all, No rising up, no destined fall. This fleeting form, a transient gleam, You are the Self, the endless stream. The mind's illusions, fade away, You are pure Being, night and day. No duality, no wrong, no right, Just conscious presence, burning bright.

  THE GLORY OF THE GITA: QUOTE OF MAHATMA GANDHI AND ODE TO THE GIA QUOTE ON THE GITA The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind, and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of random desires and undisciplined impulses. ~Mahatma Gandhi Ode to the Gita's Humble Way Oh, Gita's whispers, soft and deep, A secret knowledge, secrets keep. Of work we do, with open hand, No thought of gain, across the land. When worries rise, a tangled knot, What's right, what's real, we've clean forgot, The Gita's voice, a guiding star, Shows us the path, no matter how far. So shun no task, however small, Just give your heart, and give your all. With spirit bright, and purpose true, Your duty calls, for me and you. This wisdom flows, a timeless stream, A living truth, a waking dream. It binds us all, in every place, Beyond all bounds, with gentle grace.

  UPINISHADIC APHORISM न अल्पे सुखम् अस्ति  ~छांदोग्य उपनिषद Anything that is limited is woeful ~Chandogya Upanishad THREE COUPLETS The world's wisdom, a narrow, confined stage, Our words, but a flicker, a fleeting page.

THREE HAUKU Worldly knowledge  That's limited play of words - Alp Namaiv Etat! Our words are finite And, finite is false, woeful Be not slave to words! Awakening dawns When mind's still and quiet – wordless - Wowed by infinite

  WORLDLY CONDITIONING THROUGH DESIRE TO BECOME SOMETHING IS ROOT CAUSE OF FEAR: INSPIRED COUPLETS AND J KRISHNAMURTI QUOTE J Krishnamurti Quote  If we can understand the question and problem of desire then we will understand and be free from fear. ‘I want to be something’ – that is the root of fear. When I want to be something, my wanting to be something and my not being that something creates fear, not only in a narrow sense but in the widest sense. So as long as there is the desire to be something there must be fear. (~J Krishnamurti)  INSPIRED COUPLETS Fear's a thought within your head, From what you hoped or others said. Both boldness, fear, from world's decree, Taught by all you hear and see. Boldness fights the fear inside, The world makes these two side by side. Look as is, be calm and true, Just to be, not to be new.
