I sit in meditation - thought has ceased;
The growing silence deepens under will;
Discursive mental pressures are released;
And mind is centred, wide awake and still.
Inner responses cease their constant play
As each disturbance yields to will’s fine force;
All trace of movement gently ebbs away
As what is cognate turns towards its source
Direction lies beyond what is unknown;
The darkness is translucent clear and full;
Subject and object disappear in one;
Being is fully present, and is all.
At this, experience recedes in rest
And what I knew, no more is manifest.

and English Poetry

Wonderful to read the Vendatic Philosophy in PH.................Yes only one is real.........and perhaps world is illusion.........And when one become one with 'That' i.e when a dropp merge in ocean, it too become the ocean....And the person who see oneness everywhere, where is grief, joy, hate or love for him.......After efforts of countless lives person realize that all that exist is God and such man is difficult to find..........Bhagvad Gita.......Good Write..........Inspiring........
