is That which Is -
this play of myriad
forms and faces,
colours and shapes,
smells and sounds.
This mysterious creation
that captures attention -
ours, towards herself
every single moment -
is also the place
for deeper recognition
of our true self -
That is Witnessing all this.
The experiences
of Pain and Suffering,
of Loss and Missing someone -
How different these are
from the experiences
of Pleasure and Happiness,
of Gain and Company!
And yet how so similar!
This experiencing of
That which Not Is -
as true, for ourselves -
Is that that fuels
this colourful cinema.
But the essence is
not the experience
but the experiencer.
True Myths, and
Existant Dreams -
Not that need to discard -
but, the way we cling to
our bound beliefs -
Unwilling to let go
and explore beyond -
Is that that sheathes us
from the Infinite Oneness.
Of Opinions and Arguments,
Of Judgements and Reactions -
our lives have been jailed
in that that we believe
that we know to be true.
Yet, if we allow ourselves, then
At the Moment of Withdrawing
from all the actions and efforts,
in that lap of silence,
we touch a space
that is untouched -
That which Is -
Our true self!
