Lotus of Ramana Reveals Fire

[Guest guest]

i made my way up the mountain of fearlessness

by way of the one who would not hesitate

when everything gave the appearance

of aligning just right

to bring the Heart to Bliss-burn,

a bright spiritus burn -

 

fana.

 

Everything's been consigned to the flames.

No house, no kin or property to claim.

No past, no future for vasanas wanting anything from me.

Timelessness collects nothing, lays no table for later.

There is no way of saying What's Loving us.

 

What looks out of these eyes is also

looking back.

 

The mountain, you, fire, kin, fearlessness,

later, never, everything, eyes, me, b -

 

Bliss-burn.

Grace-rain.

 

Awakening last night to thermal-meltdown,

body temp-gauge out of whack once more,

these hands burnt and itched with fire-bites

like an army of pranic red ants were crawling through.

Touching You to taste Shiva tasting Shakti,

the electrification-magnification of the eyesight

of the Serpent shot currents of blessed fire high

into the pulsating night-sky of the spine.

The spine-tree reaches into infinite vast emptiness

teeming with all life, all existence forever.

So much purification going on across

the Perfect, Clear Tableau of Body-Mind

removing the mask of Lovely Light

so playfully laughing at Itself,

that You began to tremble and chill

with the Great Love-Sickness

of Mother bringing Home the cure.

 

OneHeart holds Itself up in Love, wide-open

and streaming with Light teeming as creation.

OneHeart pours in and the Heart-Sea

disappears as It re-appears again and again

as OneHeart shining

in all

 

of

 

 

This...

 

This that we are now.

 

 

 

"True surrender is love of God for the sake of love and nothing

else, not even for the sake of liberation. Love itself is the actual

form of God. That is pure bliss. Call it pure bliss, God, Self, or

what you will. That is devotion, that is realization and that is

everything. The experience of not forgetting consciousness alone is

the state of devotion which is the relationship of unfading real

love, because the real knowledge of Self, which shines as the

undivided supreme bliss itself, surges up as the nature of love. Only

if one knows the truth of love, which is the nature of the Self,

will the strong entangled knot of life be untied. Only if one attains

the height of love will liberation be attained. The experience of

Self is only love, which is seeing only love, hearing only love,

feeling only love, tasting only love and smelling only love, and this

is bliss. God does not reside in any place other than the Heart. Be

sure that the heart is the Kingdom of Heaven."

...."Reality is at once being and consciousness.

To know that is to be that in the heart, transcending thought.

 

That which is bliss is verily the Self.

Bliss and the Self are one and identical.

That alone is Real.

That alone is the real truth.

That is the heart.

 

That which is the source of all,

That in which all live, and that into

which all finally merge, is the heart.

 

In the interior of the heart-cave (there)

shines alone the one absolute as the "I - I",

verily the consciousness - Self.

 

What is called the heart is no other than the absolute.

 

Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart or Seat of Consciousness,

it is all the same.

 

The beloved heart alone is the refuge for the rising and subsiding

of the "I".

 

The heart is the center of all. That from which beings come

into existence is said to be the absolute. That is the heart.

 

The absolute is the heart.

 

The Self is the heart.

 

The heart is the center from which everything springs.

 

The heart is the "Kingdom of God".
