dear soul, be well...

like the sun that goes behind the mountains 

but does not disappear

this is the way of mind when it comes into play

it covers over the beauty of all 

it moves about in the alleys of impurity

it is what the sages call the restless way 

for it does not stay still

it makes the world appear with what is called 

vasanas or impressions that come like reflections 

with desires being the fuel to keep the 

rising and falling appearances in motion...

pure consciousness though, remains clean, without these vasanas

for this is what gives potential to rising appearance 

but remains unaltered in the mix 

the sage is the one that has set this to rest 

in himself 

and does not harbor any movement in his mind 

to him,

all is seen as merely shakti and shiv in union

not divided ever 

not appearing as two...

thoughts have died away within this stillness that is so 

very filled with glory and love and light 

this same freedom is in all hearts..

it has not been removed ever as it cannot be 

because life comes within it ...

but it does not have any attachment, whether there is 

playing out or not ...

this pure consciousness remains detached and serene 

always...

this is why Shiva rests still as the ground under Kali's feet

this stillness is like sleepless sleep...

where one is totally awake, yet not involved in the transient play...

it is like a pot containing space that has broken apart 

and only space remain...

pure consciousness is pure and boundless like this ..
and the jiva (or separate soul) upon awakening to his true nature
loses all separation in the vastness that is...

this is timeless, continuous without end or beginning ...

without stain or sorrow as there is no personal story remaining ...

this is called atman, brahman, nirvana... total blowing out of mind ...

total and complete... without rising and falling drama...

so much worth every step...

so much worth continuing forward, no matter the cost..
so much worth letting go of the drama
and opening up to what is here as it is ..
this is the beginning....

dear soul, be well.,..
