Awakening

How can you tell

That you have awakened?

 

How can you sense

The truth within?

 

How can you trust

That you are illumined?

 

How can you know

The unknowable?

 

When the heart yearns for HIM

And the mind surrenders to the soul.

 

When thoughts stop interrupting

And only tears of love flow.

 

When time stands still

And you are swept away in the flow.

 

When love also wanes and with it the breath

Thoughts stop. Feelings ebb away. The body dissolves.

Only nothing remains

And in it – everything.

 

Know then, that you are in the oneness with him

Know then, that you are the nothingness immersed within.
