To be in a state of defense is a simple way to avoid.

Sometimes everything
has to be
inscribed across
the heavens
so you can find
the one line
already written

AFTERNOON
The "Infinite In-Between"
Cradled in the "Infinite In-Between",
like the space between words, or
the breathless pause between thoughts,
that space of Stillness of Being -
Pure Awareness unfolding ItSelf
within me...
Cradled in the "Infinite In-Between",
like the space between words, or
the breathless pause between thoughts,

I bow before the Mystery,
the limitless, boundaryless Infinite
Beingness that just IS;
that lives ItSelf through/as this body-mind.

I cannot help myself.
I must bow inwardly before the Ineffable
that fills this being...
The pull of "The Beloved" is so strong...
I must bow inwardly before the Ineffable
that fills this being...
The pull of "The Beloved" is so strong...
I am prostrate within - unable to move;
not out of some false sense of piety,
or self-negation, or false effort to attain -
but out of sincere and genuine adoration
for that which can't be named or spoken,
but which is Alive within me.
My Heart kicks in recognition...

but which is Alive within me.
My Heart kicks in recognition...
It is the Nameless that calls to me, from within.
The deep Presence of the pureness of Existence...
The Living, Breathing Being that "I" am;
not the surface persona of thoughts, perceptions,
and feelings... but the deepest Essence of Being
ItSelf invites me inward to ItSelf...
How could "i" resist...

I willingly succumb, collapsing internally into the Formless,
and find myself fluidly suspended in Its Breath,
Cradled in Its Rhythm,
Dissolved in the purity of Being beyond being;
the quintessential "Infinite In-Between"
of untainted Knowing Awareness.

Note: the phrase "Infinite In-Between" just rolled out onto
the page in the Silence the morning that I wrote this
- and then the poem emerged.
I know someone will tell me there is
no "in-between."
I understand.
Sometimes the words just
come as they come, prior to mind or definition.
In this case
there is no particular "meaning" for the phrase
"Infinite In-Between"
except my experience of it that morning
as described in the poem.
My only "intention" in writing is to inspire,
as I am inspired to write.
May it do so,
no matter if your mind wants to argue with the words.:)

They say in the literature that one who sees the way in the morning
can gladly die in the evening.
Die before you die, so that when you die you need not die.
There is a great quote from Kabir:
“If you don’t break your ropes while you are alive”—that is,
if you don’t break the identification
with your body and your personality while you’re alive--
“do you think that ghosts will do it after?”
The idea that the soul will join with the ecstatic
just because the body is rotten,
that is all fantasy.
What is found now is found then.
If you find nothing now,
you’ll simply end up with an apartment in the city of death.
But if you make love with the Divine now,
then in the next life,
you will have the face of satisfied desire.
So plunge into the truth.
Find out who your teacher is.
Believe in the great sound.

In other words, do your sadhana
so that you can break the identification now.
Then, at the moment of transformation,
you can just go.
If you have fear, you will be met and guided and protected.
There will be beings that are there,
who are on other planes,
available to give meaning to this transformation for you.

From Sadhguru:
Devotion is just that you have demolished all of these boundaries of self-preservation;
you are just flowing to the maximum extent that you can flow.
Whatever you are devoted to,
once you dismantle the concrete structure of who you are,
suddenly the quality of what you are devoted to will just reflect upon you,
and that quality will become you.

and that quality will become you.
I have seen this being demonstrated in such dramatic ways.
Whether it is a writer, scientist, sportsperson, housewife,
or just about anyone who is absolutely devoted to what he is doing,
there is a different kind of quality about that person.

It is not about being devoted to somebody or something;
it is just that it is the highest level of perception.
You can imprint yourself with what you are seeking
because you opened yourself up completely.

If you can bring love into your breath,
into your step,
into every act that you do,
not towards anybody or anything;
if you can just bring the longing
to merge with everything around you,
then creation will lead you on to the creator.
A devotee has no other goal
except to dissolve into his object of devotion.

People with any kind of intelligence
usually try to stay away from devotion.

A devotee knows things that you cannot even imagine.
He can grasp things that you have to struggle with
because there is not much of him within himself.
When you are too full of self,
there is no room for anything higher to happen.
