When Enlightenment Rings

Everyone can be...or already is enlightened....just has to be reminded. I did what i could....you could too.

When recognition of your perceived reality as being illusory dawns,

When pipe-dreams shatter and nightmares don't matter in early morns,

When you know the Moon to be your teardrop and the Sun is your Crown,

When you know you have really risen after having fallen down!

 

When you give everything you have without ever holding back,

When they mock you and stab you, your clothing - just a tattered rag,

When Fairies carry you on strings of ethereal ether,

When you think you are dead while you live ....as if its better!  

 

When swine march on all fours bedecked in garlands of Pearls,

When relaxed you are watching the  War of the Worlds,

When Lazarus rises forth from the depths of his Tomb,

When you emerge again from another Mothers womb.  

 

When you know that I am and then I know you are too,

When they know that  we are as we know they have to,

When she is really him and yes they too are us,

When he too is you and the Shark and its jaws.  

 

When viruses thrive in your body and your solar plexus trembles,

When planets are your Cells and black holes are your ulcers,

When cunning Cancer is you and tumors grow a plenty,

When acceptance is hope then faith is hardly scanty.

 

When parallel Universes merge to form your multi-Godly body,

When the Matrix declares submission; only then you're ready,

When alien galaxies  dance at the nod of your luminous head,

When the discoverer in you unveils the obvious secret.  

 

The creation was you and the creator too,

Fragmented and scattered like droplets of dew,

You tied the dark  blind-fold over your own two eyes,

While the third eye of Truth they had  cleverly disguised.  

 

You chose the same  path that you now are walking,

Falling then  running while  laughing  still coughing,

Love then thy neighbor as you love to love your ownself,

Cause they are all you got when you weep at their doorstep.  

 

Bodies are just vehicles when the soul wants a joyride,

When you are the darkness, there is no place to hide,

So bask in the pure light if only for a while,

And laugh and be merry and go out in style.  

 

No Heaven outside you, no hell there be  neither,

You are your own sister, brother, father and mother,

Purgatory is not a place ...just a frame of a scared mind,

a rough tool you created to while away your time.

 

When the biggest sin is to fear your own fear,

When freedom seems distant  and bondage is near,

When superstition is not  just another fancy old word,

Then  tension will ail you when  peace is a black- bird.

 

And when the Cosmic rays you once long beamed,

When they do return back to their loving master as in a dream,

Filtering through the Crown, passing through her brow,

Gushing down his throat and round the Heart Chakra they  flow.  

 

Then resting a while at solar-plexus and travelling to your navel,

The tail-bone starts quivering... The Truth about to unravel,

When everything becomes one and you become everything,   

 And harmony prevails when Enlightenment rings!

Disclaimer: This poem that I have written is a conglomeration of my personal thoughts and views. I wrote it for me....to remind me what I stand for...in the face of dejection, rejection, apprehension, gloom, prevailing-doom, desperation, frustration, depression, unlawful-possession, lust, fears of biting the dust, in moments of failing strength, in times of sheer distress, in shadows of untruthfulness, in a crowded crowd, in a full bus, in pangs of maiming hunger, in fits of killing anger, in arms of fake solitude, in dreams of human gratitude, in dark tresses of vanity and attitude, while losing my latitude when finding my longitude .......all this and more...from now to ever before....its for me.
If you believe yourself to be separate from me and have objections to my writing.....then I am sorry for hurting your sentiments and feelings.....knowing fully well....I have hurt myself!
