OM
Om, the first emanation,
Om, the object of all meditation,
Om, the tongue of every revelation,
Om, the truth beyond contemplation.
Om, the mystic flame
pervading the whole creation,
every word and chant,
the resonance that forever haunts.
Om, the celestial eyed,
the all-creating Spirit,
the ear of every psalm
the eye of every vision.
In every swell heave Om,
in every sound hear Om,
in every speck see Om
in every breath breathe Om,
Om, the fire,
Om, the fuel,
Om, the flesh,
Om, the cross.
Om, the wick, Om the oil, Om the light,
Om, the soul of everything bright,
Om, the yearning of the ocean-tide,
Om, the love-longing of the bride.
Om, the night of nihil,
Om, the dawn eternal,
Om, the deathless flame,
Om, the all-redeeming pain.
Om, the golden egg of origin,
Om, the dream of creation,
Om, the dance of dissolution,
Om, the beginning, Om the termination.
Om, the root, Om, the fruit,
Om, the seed and sprout,
Om, the all-creating Light,
Om, the morning star of night.
Om, the lonely tread of the lone,
Om, the pilgrim of the unknown,
Om, the triumphal march of time,
Om, the Song of Song sublime.
Om, the Truth of Truth for ye all to know
beyond suffering, beyond every human woe,
Om, whence come all beings and things,
Om, where do they go borne on the swing.
Om, the formless first,
Om, the causeless cause,
Om, the wordless word
whence have flowed the entire.
LIGHT I CRAVE
A diviner am I
of the demi-dark mystery--
it slips in and out of me,
making my fingers burn.
Every time I try to open the door
some invisible part in me slams it shut
my cries get caught in whirls,
I taste lime on my tongue.
My gaze is fixed on the sun,
all around is darkness,
light I crave.
With moon I walk
stars I talk,
my vision--
timeless worlds.
My self-loom has woven them all.
SUMMUM BONUM
The abyss that separates, he from I
not real but brewn
in caverns of illusion,
no he, no I, Truth is one,
divisions and dissension
but the play of illusion.
To rend this veil
be the sun
fixing gaze firmly on the one
beyond shadows of delusion.
The highest boon, His grace,
the highest aspiration, the Truth's realization,
the summum bonum, the union with the one.
Love opens the mystery's gate
frees you from sansaric whirls,
makes you one with self eternal.
SELF'S LIGHT
When all lights go off
the Self's light is awake,
when utter darkness prevails,
the lamp of self never fails.
Amidst lightning flash
wheel of fire whirling,
in golden letters effulging
the divine commandments.
The rule of right,
the kingdom of truth,
the dawn of peace shall come
when everyone joins the ministry of love.
BUDDHA -CHRIST
All revelations
flow from world's travails,
all crescents and crosses.
Lotussed cross,
the key to life divine,
the arc of grace.
Buddha-Christ,
the heroic bringers of light
from the tyranny of soul-killing might.
Truth on cross hanging,
Yet the felicity of it you will know
through crucifixion and resurrection.
I AM SELF
Deathless is my spirit
by no fire singed,
no water wetted,
no wind dried,
no weapon slain.
I am Self
all-pervading,
knowing all,
seeing all,
beyond words,
unfathomable, unbounded, forever free.
I AM LIGHT
Racing heavens ever attuned,
heart-throb of galactic glens
where lord-borne cattles go grazing,
I am the wombing void.
In my musical scale many a near and distant sun,
in benighted chaos
orchestrate the musical band
on eternity's symphonic scale.
My live orchestra is hidden
in dense forests of stars
in frenzied flight of flaming skies
in giddied motion of whirling galaxies.
I am fire of life in ashen gloom,
the symphonic song of spheres,
the aching mystery of black holes,
the timeless void of creativity.
I SHALL COME AGAIN
Reverberating the galaxied resonance
of serenading heavens--
countless earths, star systems and suns,
in gloried splendor I forever dwell.
Freed from tearing travails
my soul takes wings
and soars to celestial heights
where silence rings and sings.
None there to disturb my sleep,
enchanting the silence deep,
reflecting on what liberates
I raise a stair to the ultimate.
A whisper from infinite:
"I shall come again
to hew a heaven on earth
dear me! keep aloft your spirit
let it be not put out."
"I am not alone
many others before me
in different tongues have sung
of family of one earth.
My mission,
to sow seeds of this timeless truth
on the earth entire
to awaken the new dawn of spring.
HIRANYAGARBHA
Hiranyagarbha,
the cosmic womb,
whence sprouted the first seed.
Million billion suns,
galaxies, star sytems,
neotic universes beyond count.
Elemental forces churning the ocean
in haze of stellar dust
of galactic clouds steeped.
draw the nectar-filled bowl
from the syllabled silence
of the primordial deep.
On naval-born lotus-stem
radiates in astral form an angelic being
hymning the song of creation.
Unmanifest seas,
invisible skies,
uncountable universes
set to orchestrate
flutes, violas, guitars
on space-time's musical scale.
ETERNALLY AT WORK
I am reality
indivisible
eternal
the first
beyond mutation.
The immanent
the beginning less
Shiva in Nat raja pose
keeping motion and rest
in eternal balance.
Eternally at work
weaving webs of macrocosms
in dark luminous silence,
fixing them onto cosmic scales
of ageless cataclysms and quietitudes.
I unfurl scroll of space
create calligraphy of the night sky,
expand and shrink at will
from luminous universes into black holes
by my own vital heat and galactic cold.
Shrunken spheres and frozen suns
sunk in the depths of primordial gloom
from sleep of nescience I rouse
to set them spiral in appointed orbits
in eternal void of space-time.
I am the fire that moulds
the amorphous mass into glittering gold,
from sphere to sphere moving
tuning up scales of eternal guitars
heaving in musical swells in oceanic space.
I AM LIGHT
I pound granite mounds and cratered rocks,
pulp pyramidal mountains into translucent stardust,
mould and monitor macrocosms and star systems
to set them whirling in space-time.
The salver of infinite little lamps
in circles moving,
spangled heavens
in galactic fires glowing.
mystic flashes reveal unseen beyonds
the starlit creativities of infinite meanings
in depths of silence hidden
in void of eternal space time.
I am Light
reddening rim of skies beyond count,
the quantum and momentum of suns and moons,
the nativity of dark dissolutions and neotic dawns.
Before I enter the everlasting night
I conceive and shape
new orders of creation,
I am the hiranyagarbha.
THE PHOENIXED VISION
At my baton burgeon to life
cosmic seas and macrocosms,
frozen firmaments on pulsar wheels
the teeming galaxies on the run.
I am life that blooms
in multi-hued shells and shoals,
in sea beds and ocean caverns,
flora and fauna in varied climes.
I am primordial being,
the minstrel-bard of spherical chime,
the rehearser of mystery sublime
of stellar spaces and voids.
I am the phoenixed vision
of proto-epochs and proto-dawns,
the perennial revelation
of crucifixion and resurrection.
OM
Om
the outermost unseeable unseen,
the world-line of racing electrons on the run,
churning out creations upon creations.
Om,
the trinity in one:
all that is,
has been and shall be.
Om,
the all-mothering reality,
the primordial Being
the light-bliss of Creativity.
Om
The many-splendored Gayatri,
the Song Celestial of the yajna rites
reverberating in everyone's being.
I AM ETHER
Above, below
right, left
behind, in front,
here, there, everywhere
in time, any point in time, beyond time
I am Ether, the all-pervasive Akash.
Om, the One and only One,
the golden egg, the seed,
the autogenic effulgence
of the self-manifolding One,
the eternal unseeable unseen
the sole reality, the Brahman.
THE BRAHMAN
Om, the light Eternal,
whose spark informs
every being and thing.
Om, the Origin of origin
wherein abides the whole cosmos
and the universes of becoming.
Om, the perceiver and perceived
the hearer and heard,
the knower and known.
Om, by perceiving Whom you perceive all,
by hearing Whom you hear all,
by knowing Whom you know all.
Stepping on stair of time
moment to moment live, Om,
the nth-dimensioned, Om.
Om, the light-sound continuum,
the effulgence of a million suns,
the Home of Brahman.
All is Om, All is Om,
the All-Pervading All-Self,
the Brahman.
