Kaivalya
After other nad’s go,
Even the finest fades;
The mind dissolves,
Into ‘unmani’,
Beyond all divisions.
Only awareness lives,
And the Seer passes,
From Anahat,
The unstruck sound,
Into sublime silence;
Realizes the Holy
He always was,
And abides in the Self,
Just One,
With no ‘other.’
Kaivalya,
The alone-ness of the Seer,
Is not loneliness.
It is Perfection!
********
And Us…
Many understand this,
But, like me
Get lost on the way,
Till the touch of one such,
Re-centers the mind,
And we become,
Mumukshus again.
Sincere sadhaks,
On the path,
To becoming Siddhas
……
……
Till we stray,
As we do,
Again & again!
And so it goes,
Our travelogue,
From life to life,
Amid the clamor,
Of our noisy world,
While the Seers,
Wait a-smile…
