Purpose and Meaning

All is Consciousness, at rest or at play,
The former Awareness, the unmanifest,
And creation, cosmic energy that may,
Be ‘seen’ in motion, ere returning to rest.

When awake ‘we’ can truly play the game,
With no-self we joyfully participate.
When ‘asleep’ we cannot do the same,
Identified as an object that is separate.

When the world is met with a still mind,
With no reference to an individual seer,
Its wonder and beauty we can find,
Needing no extra purpose for us to cheer.

As an instrument of Consciousness can
Creation experience and enjoy,
Mind/body is more useful than
A discrete object, or a cosmic toy.

All conscious beings fulfill this function,
Through which Awareness can participate,
And spontaneously live with no compunction,
Allowing Consciousness to Itself relate.

Amazement, awe and gratitude,
Are outcomes of seeing the world this way,
As Awareness without personal attitude,
There is no separation from the play.

It is only when identified with body or mind,
As a unique, separate human being,
Extra purpose or meaning we need to find,
For existence ‘as it is’ we are not seeing. ---------------------------------------------------------------

A poem based on a chapter of 'Fundamental Questions'.

I write (and read) these posts, based on my meditations and contemplations, as much for my own benefit as for that of 'others'. For this helps to keep me 'awake' in this illusory, and impermanent, world ... our perception of which is based purely on our physical, and mental, configuration.

For more poems, articles, photos etc. see the comment on the photos.
