The medicine of mantra bravely swallowed,
repeating sacred syllables with faith,
the ebb and flow of breath-waves gently followed,
the mind stays fixed, awareness soars in space
of true immortal Self, eternal Being -
Infinity’s deep essence to embrace.
The seer has dissolved, there’s only seeing;
without a hearer, pranava perceived
in silence simply listening and freeing
from Maya’s spell – the mission seems achieved.
The sound of Om as guide to liberation,
divided soul in Wholeness, Peace retrieved.
When bija-seed is brought to germination,
eternal Self abides as contemplation …
Author notes
bija … seed syllable
mantra … mystic formula
maya … illusion
pranava … the mantra aum (om), the primal sound

Ah, without even the "spoonful of sugar"
of musical note, the medicine goes down,
and maa entrances her readers lovingly
into her peaceful meditative town.
Leaving the scene in silent contemplation....
Kudos, dear maa,
love and hugs to you,

I really do need to make more time to read my faves. I've missed reading your works and how they take me back to where I need to be, allowing the thoughts to flow and the energy. This one makes me feel like standing naked in the grass and feel the wind rush over me. Transcending me. Awesome write.

I love a well penned Terza Rima and I love coming to your house to read your poetry. This poem like all your work gives me a feeling of inner peace and a realization that I am blessed with a supernatural power to create and achieve spiritual beauty. Thank you for posting this as it is more than just a poem to me and many of your readers.
Love,
