Two New Enlightening Poems, by Shree

Ever-Present Self-Effulgent You Are

Ever-present Self-effulgent you are

Mind cannot know this, close nor far.

You try to think and make it true

But the thoughts can never lead to You.

They come they go

Sometimes fast sometimes show.

They form your personality

But thoughts have no truth or reality.

In deep sleep you are still there

Even though your thoughts are nowhere.

So how then can you remain free from thinking?

When the mind’s job is to keep on linking?

The waking state forms with all events,

In deeps sleep dissolve all its contents.

When you know the ever-present Being

That Being is Self-effulgent and it’s all you are seeing.

When the forever free remains

You know this and never have any pains.

The thinker you are, not the changing mind’s state

The thinker or Knower is your pure Self-effulgent fate.

The Waking State is but a Dream:

All is One Self–Pure Being

When you dream where did you go?

You are lying in bed so how do you know?

The same you is the dreamer the one who was awake

Now you are sleeping but who is at stake?

You create all figures, forms and scenes

They come from you so they are the same Being’s.

The Pure Consciousness that you forever are

Creates the show like an engineer creates a car.

In your dream many characters appear but you alone are

In the waking state you are your own movie’s star.

If everyone was the same

And met your preferential game,

Then the movie of life

Would not be joy, with struggle and strife.

All would be the same

And not this truly intriguing game.

So the Pure Consciousness that we all are

Creates this puppet show for our own enjoyment.

All is one Self without the personality flaw,

We enjoy all the characters that we have created

From the same source it is never belated.

No need to change anyone only your own mind

Seeing your own Self everywhere forever, your kind.
