she rises





when mental waves die 
what is known is that
Kali is the *all*
the seen and the unseen
the pure life force
and is not something to be seen outside 
she is the heart of hearts 
indeed
she is the center of the wheel
and the wheel
and the whole thing
she is not to be left out of the world 
or the mind 
or the single essence 
how can this be?
when her energy is in all hearts 
and in all things 
and there cannot be life without it 
she is the moon in fullness 
and in shadow 
she is the moon on the head of shiva
and the moon in the heaven
and the moon in the rising of truth
like a moon she rises and rises 
to be not hidden any longer 
away from souls that sleep
and he will wake then and know her
as being his own soul
that has no name or face 
but is undressed and perfect 
glowing in the heart 
as his own soul

when mental waves die 
life is not as it was thought 
a life that has within it a burden
of *doing*
this is not right at all, dear souls 
it is like carrying a heavy sack on
your back that is not needed 
so cast it down and let the mind be 
naked 
without this heaviness
then it will be open and free
like God is 
he knows what to do 
and he will do it 
and do it rightly 
for he is pure intelligence 
know this friend 
and be of good heart 
and be of clarity
and stillness

when mental waves die 
there is nothing that needs protection
for what and who is needing protection?
this is very false indeed 
there is not anything to fear when the heart 
is open and rejoicing in the one 
what could be lost?
if one knows well that he is not a body or 
a mind 
and that all comes from the
very same source
which can never, ever die 
what is there to fear?

when mental waves die 
the time of sorrow dissolves 
like a wave into the ocean
but the ocean never knew of the wave 
that felt itself apart 
not ever 
because the ocean is always as one 
and knows this well
so what else is there to know?

when mental waves die 
Christ is not understood any more 
as a story that is to be inspiring or 
feared 
he is enlivened as truth in the heart 
and is known as the source from which
all springs 
not a story of a persona that came to do this 
or that 
he is understood as a one that pointed the way
to the heart 
which is only grace working to bring the shadows 
down 
and lay to rest the motion of thought 
which is dark truly
as it calls the soul to be apart from the light 
which is always and forever here

  4. Namaste Guru Siddhananda,

    Thank you for pointing the way to the stillness that knows no fear. In periods when it feels expanded, it is easy to see stillness and movement as one. Difficult to see mental waves being one and the same as the ocean when identified with it. So thank you for pointing to the way of the heart.

  5. namaste, when thoughts are in motion, it can be all consuming -- there cannot be clarity this way… it is only within stillness that clarity arises, and only in stillness can realization of the SELF be … not with intellectual understanding, insights and all of that will it come, not ever -- may stillness reign in your life .. shanti om
