BEYOND THE SEPARATE SELF

Post by Pravin Kumar » Sun Apr 08, 2018 10:16 am

Poem based on chapter two of 'Beyond The Separate Self'.

Our Life is a Continuous Flow

Our life is just a continuous flow
Of experiences which come and go.
Each of these only has elements three,
Thoughts, sensations and that which these ‘see’.

The first an ephemeral object-pair,
The latter the seer, ever aware.
The former arise, exist and subside
In Awareness in which they ever reside.

So deeper than this material body/mind,
Is this sub-stratum so refined.
This conscious constant subjective core
Of which we can be ever sure.

Awareness is forever still,
Perceiving these objects as they mill…
Utterly silent, without a sound,
In which that thought and heard are found.

Within this there is perfect peace.
For body/mind and objects cease
To indicate what, or who, we truly ‘are’.
Thus our contentment they do not mar.

When we identify with this deeper level,
Emotions and feelings will not bedevil.
Witnessed scudding across the ‘sky’
Of Awareness which we can’t deny.

Just watch them as they come and go,
Exhibiting a spectacular show.
Content, peaceful, ever at ease,
For what commences will always cease!
