A LAMP IN A WINDLESS PLACE

The Mind & Heart of God

Poems

by Raymond Reichman-Israelsohn

A lamp that does not flicker in a windless place,

To such is compared a yogi of subdued thought

Practising Union with the Self

Bhagavad Gita (Maharishi Translation)

The Yoga of Maditation (Dhyana Yoga)

Chapter VI,Verse 19


It is the very essence of the challenge of this work to explain how something, including the desire for something, can arise out of ‘nothing.’ How finity can arise out of infinity. If we seek the explanation we are destined to meet at the fulcrum between the two. We will share our experience searching for the heart rather than the mind, yet we will be using the mind to do so. The mind is the only tool at our disposal in the search and in the process. And the irony and the paradox is that we will be using the mind to eschew the mind in our search for the pure heart of desire…mindless desire.
