Vipassana Musings

A part of the self died
And dissolved moment to moment
To make way for the raw and pure
Free from aversion, free from the lure.

Mired with labels, a notorious pride
I folded my hands, worked my mind
Let go of the I and the mine
Only to find peace in the universe inside

From sutta into bhavana (intellect into experience)
From theory to practice,
Arose the moments of clarity
Oh! Everything is within us
The power to counter all polarities!

The distance between reaction-response
That freedom to make a choice
All it takes is a deep look within
A complete surrender to the now
So elusive, yet such a simple knowhow!

The journey has just begun
The first step taken, the first of many more
With folded hands and deep gratitude
Bhavtu sarvam mangalam! (May all beings be happy)
