Body Less



At times I feel
I do not have this body at all
It has no mass but much above it
A little air flows quietly beyond any boundary,
It is omnipresent in the atmosphere
And present among countless air units.
Like each dropp of water in the enormous ocean
Ingredients of all of them are same, equal and identical
It wanders in silence for a while
But, its journey never ends there
It climbs up and up
When it surpasses the atmosphere
It lands up in a no man’s land
Absolutely vacuum and contains nothing
Where every thing is indistinct,
Having no mass, no weight,
But has immense potentiality
And incredible strength
It gathers momentum in rest
Amidst all formless beings
In complete tranquil.
It becomes a part of the entire whole
A naught in a void.
That is the ultimate kingdom of truth,
Its eternal dwelling place,
Totally vacant, a thoroughly
Empty patch, border less
It is not affected by any hue and cry
Or din and bustles around
It rests in abode of peace, pleasure
And fulfilment with whole lot of such beings
And enjoys being one with the total ‘HE’
It depends on ‘HIM’
How long it has to dwell there
Then comes the time to move once again
It leaves the serene land of Lord
And enters in to the atmosphere,
Again that naught assumes a litter power
And it gets converted to a tiny air particle.
It marches down ward and takes a form before landing
And descends on earth with complete form,
The whole being gets arrested and confined in a skeleton.
All forms wind, water, soil etc. exist in one form,
One body consists of all of them.
It appears in a certain form
And formlessness has no difference at all
It is same for one and all
When I comeback to the visible world
And realise my physical existence
I am not my body; I am a body less creature
As all others are visible in nature
I can exist and exit at my sweet will
In this mortal cell and cease to ponder over
The worldly affairs, until I am liberated once again.
