Blank tranquility
silence,
The weight of my consciousness
Lifted
The chatter of endless thoughts
Now a low hum
I fill my chest with air
And exhale knowledge
The third eye crusted shut
With years of flouride and impurity
Now beginning to see again
though I am not worthy
Of the majesty it will eventually
Bestow upon me
I will find bodha,
I want to experience
The absolute truth
Sitting with Gautama beneath his Pipal tree
Bathing in his wisdom
For he knows my suffering,
And the long path I have traveled
To understand it
And become a higher being
Rasasvada is my only escape now,
Until I become truely enlightened
Sanskrit translations
Rasasvada - Feeling of bliss in the absence of thoughts, happiness in meditation
Bodha - Truth, enlightenment
samadhi - advanced state of meditation; absorption in the Self; Oneness; the mind becoming identified with the object of meditation
