Timeless Truth!

If only we could all live from... "A Knowing!" That whatever we've been given... "And art still about to receive!" Shall Be Far Greater than, Any Loss that we've felt within... Then we'd live through these Motions of life! "With Perfect Equanimity & Peace!" . In Choosing to Play "Our Victim Games"; We've Bargained The Self; "Which is Nothing But God!" . A Mind that's healed... "Can Alone Heal!" . Three poems written on three different time lines, that echo The Eternal Truth! That we can go beyond all our emotional & physical pains if only we'd stop associating ourselves from the stories of false self, as a victim. To A Knowing that we have all come from a single force, call it God or whatever name, one believes in.
My Guru, Sri Satya Sai Baba, would give this metaphor and I'd quote here, "While proceeding along the road, you can watch your shadow falling on mud or dirt, hollow or mound, thorn or sand, wet or dry patches of land. You are unaffected by the fate of your shadow, is it not? Nor is the shadow made dirty thereby. It does not worry in the least where it falls or what it wades through. We know that the shadow and its experiences are not eternal or true. Similarly, you must get convinced that ‘you’ are but the shadow of the Absolute and you are essentially not this ‘you’ but the absolute itself. That is the remedy for sorrow, travail and pain." . And though it's easier said then done, but through my chronic pain, where my muscles & tissues & nervous system have weakened due to some autoimmune disorder, the name of which I don't even know as its difficult to diagnose, and so most doctors are unable to help. I had to but go inward & rely on these timeless wisdom. That no matter whatever pain this body bore & emotional traumas of mind, I experienced, it is all a shadow. For while shooting the video of Coco & I walking, one can see some peoples footsteps walking over our shadows & it does not affect us. This timeless wisdom sets me free that this human body too is a shadow and whatever I experienced or am still experiencing does not ever affect my true self, which is come from God and is God! And so I'm walking towards this journey...where I can choose to identify myself with my past, with pain of my mind & body and feel like a victim, or Choose to identify myself with my true self, that's God and in that alone, truly begin to heal. .
