My thoughts were rudely interrupted by Simran

Poem:

My thoughts were rudely interrupted by Simran. It is cool when you are thinking and your thinking is interrupted by thoughts of God. The normal way is you do Simran (say your mantras) and then you have spurious worldly thoughts. But if you do all day Simran ( repeat your mantras throughout the day) or do a lot of meditation, then you will find the reverse. You are thinking during meditation and Simran intrudes upon your thoughts. I get a kick out of it when it happens. Thoughts are just plain vanilla and simran is more energetic and a lot better. William James says in conclusion: “there is something wrong about us” and the “solution” is by “making proper connections to the higher powers” That’s what meditation is. It is the solution. It is like doing physical therapy. You stick you head into the standup MRI and refresh your head. You have to have radiation. You fix your gaze upon the third eye and then just say goodbye. My poetry should point to the steps and be helpful like Rumi. Life without Meditation is just tragic. Mindfulness meditation is good for the masses while Surat Shabd Yoga and sant mat is good for the elect and passive. In Mindfulness meditation you take a ten day course. In Surat Shabd Yoga it is for ten years. Simran all day long is very good for a beginner it will really help his practice. It is strange that after 42 years of practice it is still the same for me like I am also just a beginner. I am supposed to be a bodhisattva not just a stream-enterer I must be lazy and do not practice. I can become enlightened some of the time. It helps it I sit at three. An advanced mystic can become self sufficient. I am beginning to think my actual physical needs are a whole lot lower, I could meditate instead. But people don’t understand it. If you go to the graveyard and practice being dead they think it is morbid instead. It is the truth that is sublime not some stupid rhyme. If you are looking for the holy grail look inside. The human body when it locks into position becomes like a church. You can worship alone and feel like you are home. You can have brain replacement surgery where you learn how to take care of your back and knees and keep them pliant, flexible and buoyant. You can develop a personality with altered traits the same way so it is pliant, compassionate, flexible and buoyant. Buoyancy starts with inspiration and is psychological. It starts in the head and creates trickle down instead. If you sit up straight it is more likely to open up the gate. It is never too late, you should not wait until you are reincarnated. The recordings of my piano pieces are final because I am a never-returner. No one understands me but they are welcome to come to my funeral. I will be more understood after I am dead. If you want to make meditation work than you should give it a lot of tries, like you were starting an old car. God eventually gets tired of his game of ignoring you. On the days God is ignoring me I pray to Tuka instead. He understood him and is a great poet. Five hundred years after I am dead they will dig up my poetry under the ice in Finland and find that I had a connection to Tuka.
