MEDITATION

MEDITATION


Empty vastness, just nothing,
Large vacuum all around;
Silence total, yet, serene,
But for occasional sound

Of a bell ringing somewhere,
Or, the chirping of a bird,
Or, the rustle of a leaf,
Or, a hymn from distance heard;

Empty mind, fully alert,
Free of all the entrapments;
Enabling a flow inwards
Of purest divine currents;

Sensing pervading presence
Of a cosmic consciousness,
As if between nature and
Me there’s a unique oneness;

Enjoying eternal bliss,
At the height of elation:
This unique experience
Is truly meditation.
