Becoming Me

Namit Arora Avatar

A charming story of creation (mostly a modern retelling of a Hindu one; might have been better without the final line, “but even then…”).

  1. Monism is extremely difficult to capture in words because languages have been developed through the operation of common sense, which does not enquire into the nature of the self and simply accepts the dualistic view as given.

  2. Humming Birds—
    The thought arouse
    like a renegade moon
    in my murky mind —
    “All manifestations
    of apparent existence
    are already self-contained
    in perfect Essence.”
    Wow, so now
    only real goal:
    Realize the Source
    being love drunk
    in the tavern
    within our heart cavern
    of Old Brahmic Town.
    The shriaz grape
    already has
    vintage wine,
    plucked off
    umbilical vine—
    even dances with Dionysus.
    Folks, why spin the spokes,
    headin’ out nowhere true?
    Difficult today to practice,
    but what really need do?
    Would the strawberry
    struggle to sprout legs
    and venture to the market
    to find sweetness, or
    the jasmine moan for wings
    to seek fragrance beneath the moon?
    Did Christ want a church
    when he declared—
    “The Kingdom of Divinity Dwells Within.”
    Sweet dear Kabir knew
    the shade & songbirds & swings
    already exist in the chestnut,
    and inside all these countless clay jars…
    well, Infinity.
    Just be agile & transparent
    as hummingbird wings,
    serenely focused sippin’
    on seven sweet spots
    & be love drunk
    on your own lotus nectar!
    As this talking human head
    already has Shiva/Buddha/Beloved
    smiling in Sunflower Sashahara Star
    emanating Supreme Samadhi.
    Believe & perceive all phenomenon
    as Absolute Consciousness
    blissfully dancing alone
    upon it’s own Lila stage—
    every particle; a World
    simply spinnin’; to The Word.
