FINDING
SOLACE
A bad
case of blues,
Or searching for meaning or liberation?
Then
practice meditation
The
anguish, the distress, the pain
Wanes
when you efface the consciousness
Of all
the images corporeal
Close
your eyes or let them open
Shut
your ears or converse on your own
Slough
off limbs and trunk,
Dim
intelligence,
Depart
from your form,
Leave
knowledge behind and become identical with the divine light of power
The
animated flame grows brighter and stronger
The
yellow beams subdue all at the mental altar
The
divine pull and power
Steadies,
unifies and calms the core
Communion
with the realm higher
Inward
looking at Prana, feeling the breath
