One, two, Infinity

In this realm of space and time,
causality governs reason
and answers don't die.
Rather they lie
covert in questions,
unveiled by the passage of time.

Discovery is inevitable, 
for curiosity is the bread of the hungry mystic.
Satisfaction, is there in anything?
Satisfaction is there, in only thing, and that is Everything.
May I accept a small token as an answer,
for a question that asked me who I was?
Or may I pass that token to the answer
who questioned me if I was?
Am I?
I think I am.
I think therefore I am.
But maybe I am not?
But then I never asked that.
And I never sought.
Satisfied forever as the bliss of infinity, 
I forgot,
the knots of bondage,
be it chains of iron or gold, 
the one who is caught is caught.
Am I?
I think I am.
I think therefore I am.

Maybe for a single moment,
that some call eternity, albeit of a temporary kind,
I wasn't satisfied,
when I came,
to this plain,
and felt this pain,
of separation, same
as the one one feels in being human.

Could it be, 
that which came and went in a spree,
was it... the answer?
Unacceptable.
Transmutation is only an apparition,
A seed for the next question,
and the quest for the next answer.
Does it ever sum up?
answer + answer = Answer?
Whole is not a sum of the parts.
Whole stays Whole
Infinity stays Infinity,
whether you subtract one or two
or anything you may construe.
Truth never stopped being true 
for a single moment,
failing which perhaps
the Universe itself would collapse.
But its longing is the seed of the human heart.
That which was at the start,
and never stopped being apart,
from that which it was
from that which it is,
and from that which it remains. 

Does constance exist?
Does the moon ever clearly reflect in the lake?
Who would know?
A mind perturbed 
by pebbles thrown to disturb
its calmness, to test if it is real.
Reality is not the one in question.
Reality is not the one of doubt. 
Its true nature, was of the fascination,
within and without.
Does constance exist?
Does Constance exist?
That is for one to find out.

Baba

Time is such a factor of time,
perplexed by the drunken upheavals of Divine nectar

Mine, is an existence such a short one.
And bereavement serves such a non-purpose,
of falling into troughs of uncertainty, and losing track of it.

Each time I fall,
I rise,
and wipe some dirt of uncertainty off the clothing of my physical being.

He has given us such a sweet vessel of surrender to dive into.
The mind and spirit are nourished by the wealth of the Infinite
that the eyes do not see.

His body of boundless magnitude
An ocean of bliss
That He is.

Where Maya does not play her dirty game
Only sweet love remains

daivi hy esa gunamayi
mama máya duratyayá
mam eva ye prapadyante
máyam etam taranti te


But still we pass through temporary stages,
Play five, act two, stage three, exit left

What thoughts and actions are the plays of the Divine mind?

The art of seeking joy through a dream
The joy of seeking art through a dream
The dream of seeking joy through art
The dream of seeking art through joy
Oh boy!

Does my life begin and end with such meaningless words?
Or is there a meaning in meaning, meaning what?
To whom?
To someone or not?

The realm of meaning itself lies in the source of unbeknown causality.

What a miracle,
That You manifest such a miracle, as us
But while still remaining, of us, within us.

How mysterious could you be...
That truly is your identity,
which you once revealed,
The Being of eternal mystery.

Baba.

His one sweet sight and I float free


His one sweet sight and I float free

Unfolding visions I was made to see...

Dripping baths of honey where He led me unto Me,
when I crawled out of the dungeon of my shadow mind that He lit for me to see,
and crumbled to my knees
under the burden of my ego's separation,
a game of falsehood,
that my Beloved threw at me,
and ensnared me!
Only so I may long to be free,
from the bondage that is 'me'.

The game, that only when I lose, may I see,
the Truth that is He,
the He in me.
