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.
