Unbound Eternity

Tick tock goes the clock, the pendulum swings from left to right,
Wonder over the pair of opposites, good and bad,beautiful and ugly, sadness and delight

Tick tock goes the clock, the pendulum swings from right to left,
Wonder again how everything has an opposite; big and small, right and wrong, skillful and inept.

Now a question I ask!
Nay, let’s call it a leisurely task!
Imagine that all you are is a mask!

An accumulation of memory, prejudices, thoughts and fears,
All perhaps concentrated, stored in the organ you call the brain; located between your ears.

Your perceptions and all your definitions,
Your thoughts and all your emotions,
Your fears, gripes and all your and hesitations
All color the World in which you see so many commotions.

Think! Question! What observes the wearer of the mask?!
Who is the one who judges every pair of opposites, every action and every task?

The mask is your filter, the world you see is Your creation,
It shows a World in time, where everything ultimately ends in destruction.

Yet something beyond the mask, the filter there is something that must exist,
This We must explore; I vehemently insist,
You might refute the premise, you might feel angry or with a million other ways try to resist,
But in this quest, I urge you to persist,
Somewhere along the way, you will discover that Time does not exist!

A conclusion you will come to, there is no past, except in Your memories,
Neither is there a future, full of promise and hopes of exploration into unchartered territories,
They are all in your mind, all mere stories.

You only exist Here, you only exist Now is the only logical conclusion!
Other theories are Your masks attempt at generating and keeping alive this delusion!
Prod a little further! I urge you! Question the entire illusion!

Notice that there is a Observer in You, observing all this,unmoved, unalloyed, unmixed,
On Here and Now it stands affixed.


It observes everything, always, in all situation and circumstance,
Yet it remains happy, unmoved by the vagaries of chance.

Stay with the Observer for as long as you can, the call has been made,
Fear not you traverse this alone! You will receive all possible aid!
Mighty Companions stand ready to walk alongside you on this path; it is ready and laid!

Soon You and the Observer will merge;
You realise that All the Universe is One, even if it appears at different points to diverge,
The boundaries between You, the Observer & the entire Universe will purge,
And Reality in all its Oneness, Beauty, Love and Infinity will emerge!
