world dissolves

god-light reduces the mind to a slow running stream

little by little 

that washes into the universal ocean consciousness in which 

the individuality fades, dissolves there and does not rise again

to be made into something that is separate in identity to the 

one perfect source

god-light reduces the thought stream

soaks the mind in the beauty of love, light and stillness

and then the world view that one was so believing to be true 

and right or wrong or whatever understanding 

dissolves 

then, to that one that is in stillness, the world of duality 

no longer revolves inwardly to produce 

the manifestations of this and that

and to that one, all wrongs are righted and flowing with 

nothing but love, light and stillness... grace 

to that one there is no other or world that is real in the way 

of being solid, lasting, with something that creates suffering 

which does not mean there is no suffering in the world 

but within that one, there is stillness which brings peace 

everlasting and joy inside the heart, mind, soul

as the root of suffering (duality) has been destroyed

the world will carry on whether one is still or outward 

with it's activity always, this will not end 

it is the inward that is the making of beauty, pain, or any other 

happening 

so this is why the sannyasi (or the celibate renunciate) leaves 

the world, let's go of it and all the drama 

keeps life simple, (this simple life can be seen reflected in
the more traditional path of a wandering monk)

the mind is to not be always going outward and looking for entertainment 

and looking for something to feed it, confirm it, create out of it, 

spin on constantly

one is to simplify their life to the best possible in order to make the energy

and time to be inward in prayer, mantra, attention to the moment 

for even though many in the world desire peace, if there is no working 

towards it within themselves, it will be very difficult to maintain

and very difficult for these cycles of uprisings, divisions etc.. to come 

to a halt

we should take a lesson from the earth mother 

she is always in her best form within stillness

she does not hold judgement or harboring of emotions 

she does not protect herself in a shell

she does not put her reality onto anything else 

she does not have any worry, hurt or anger towards anything 

or anyone 

she does not commit sin, hold pride, revenge or vanity

her plants, animals, sun, moon, rain, mountains, rivers 

and oceans are the same inside 

all of her life is the same inside and what makes it otherwise are 

attitudes that one harbors, defends, keeps turning on 

this is the making of the dissension on the outside

and yes her energy is being drained due to choices of humanity 

that are not in alignment with pure intention, love and care 

yes her energy is shifting in accordance with the moral (or lack of 

moral) climate that is present 

yes her energy is being drained (or helped) by the actions and deeds, 

of humanity

what can be said, we do not live in a bubble and our actions move 

outward like a wave to be felt by the whole 

but we have this awareness to see clearly like the sun

we have this awareness to see what is here that is eternal and what 

is not lasting and should not be attached to 

we have this awareness to look, see, feel, taste, touch, hold, love 

with a heart of openness, joy, and love 

and we have the choice to use this awareness rightly...

for even with all of the chaos now, we need not be so caught up 

in it (which does not mean we don't act and speak out when the time

is right)

but we can use the time to go inward, to feel deeply this moment as it is 

in it's purity 

to taste it, touch it, pray into it, love it, hold it, breathe into it, sink into it 

for inside there is something other than what is seen on the surface 

and it is worth all the efforts made to be within it
