The Sacred State Of Being Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

It is like fitting your foot into a perfect sized shoe
The sacred state of being is a natural fit for all us
This is a one size fit-all phenomenon deep inside our being
You just have to allow your being to be cleansed of all acquired knowledge
It is these excess stuff that make us unfit to occupy the cubicle of being
Acquired knowledge is great, don't get me wrong
But every now and then, you have to be the fibre of being
Let the nakedness of the spirit be your sole occupation
You have to shed all material yearnings, desires, fears, identities, expectations
And all attachments
You have to be unborn inside the womb of existence
And experience the sacred state of being
This is the garden of the spirit where all else is non-existent
Just for a little while, the body, mind and soul exist as one branch of existence
Not troubled by emotional fluctuations and the oscillations of thoughts
Not torn apart by the forces of uncertainty, selfishness and wickedness
The spirit is submerged in the most beautiful existence, the ocean of being (or awareness)
This is the realm of nothingness where you are not defined by physical characteristics or mental disturbances
But you are impossible to define because all the tensions of life have been erased
You are now a spiritual being with nothingness as your only wealth
This is the bowl of peace, freedom, happiness, hope and Love
It is an existence that is dimensionless
Not defined by space-time
Or any of the other invading forces from outside the known world
Not touched by the winds of fear, uncertainty and hopelessness
It is the stillness and the sacred Silence within
This is the sacred state of being
It is the realm of God, the Illuminated Light
The ocean of awareness and the everlasting life
