A LAMP IN A WINDLESS PLACE
The Mind & Heart of God
Poems
by Raymond Reichman-
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
From Chapter Five | Spirit and Soul
God and Man
So we have Creation, in the Mind of God and in His Body -
Finity exists within infinity. Infinite energy is omnipotent, God’s omnipotence. It can do anything, be infinite and finite at the same time, omnipresent, and omniscient. If we are not to lose sight of this axiomatic essence and remain cognizant of truth, we need to continually remind ourselves that seeming opposites, seeming duality of subject and object and their seeming separation and finity are no more then infinity’s illusion. Created by infinity’s omnipotence for the purpose we have already reasoned. If we lose sight of this essential truth, then in that moment of loss, we begin to see our object as ‘separate’ from our subject/ego infinite Self. We begin to invest our own notional object with an unreal ‘reality.’ We eclipse our own infinite knowledge and unconditioned nature and unconditioned intellect. We render ourselves ignorant. Our unconditioned intellect becomes conditioned to a new mental paradigm of duality, separation and relativity. We see what is in reality no more than our own mental conditioning as ‘reality.’
