__Remembrance of God must be continuous,
Like the flowing river or falling rain,
Allowing no distraction that can be caused
By mental discord or bodily pain.
_
The mind must be lost in total awareness
Of the holy feeling of a Divine Presence,
Oblivious of external worldly stimulii
That compete with it for existential sense.
_
"He only exists, I can sense no other",
Must remain the feeling of the heart,
"He only exists, how can another?"
Be the movement of one's thought.
_
Even the stark 'I"ness of the knower
And of the sensor, must recede,
Leaving only the sole object of feeling
And of knowing to intercede.
_
The flood of feeling of Holy Presence
Must sweep the mind and heart away,
Leaving the naked feeling of "I"ness,
Overwhelmed by Divinity, to stay.
_
"It" becomes "You" for the searching "I",
Its object"You", the "I" now gains.
When "You" recedes with vanishing thought,
Only the mystic integral 'I" remains.
_
Thought has now vanished, so has feeling,
The subject and the object are only One !
Can there exist any, to think or feel ?
Holy "All" remains, now that all is gone !
_
Bliss flowers as the remnant "All",
A peace that passeth understanding,
A contentment, supreme satisfaction,
Temporal affairs not withstanding !
