coronavirus

poem:

You can become dependent on meditation sort of like drug addiction. Periodically you can need recharging. Once a day is not enough so twice is better. You can recover easily if you fall into a five o’clock slump. You can salvage at least your Soul if your Life has been wreaked. Exercise can keep you operating with verve and spunk. You can continue to make your days count. You can learn a lot if you continue to read books. Instead of feeling slighted you can feel new might. 7pm is another excellent time. By recollection you can again become collected. An amateur leisurely approach is not acceptable. Foul weather can be hard on the spine but by going within you can still enjoy the sublime. After ten years of waiting you can get enlightenment for your birthday. The solutions to the body’s problems and the body’s world is just to go out. Mystical experience is self-explanatory. To celebrate Kirpal Singh’s birthday you can just read his instructions. You can have a desire for astral plane air similar to someone who is under water which will help you get there. Flax Chia and Hemp can be your three pillars of power provided the amount is minute. Instead of lying about - you can rebuild your muscle strength. Thoughts can be thought of as similar to passing clouds. You don’t have to be Mohammed and sit in a cave to have a break through. Meditation time can accumulate like an athlete’s practice time. Instead of worry about the coronavirus you can rebuild your immunity level to that of a child. Just by practicing your death you can develop more style. You can in effect be an American Transcendentalist Philosopher with Sophia just meaning withdrawal. If you have spurious sparks that is just incidental. This is not a Haiku because I am not Basho. You can be an esoteric library researcher and still play tennis and volleyball the two are not incompatible. You can rise above just being a quotationist philosopher (one who just quotes the sayings of others) by just doing Simran. Three times a day is sort of like realiZing the Trinity. Just sitting could be like being in heaven according to Dogen’s Thesis. You do not have to hang around the zendo to get up your own get up and go. You can be a fixed rate practitioner. You can listen to the ocean instead of making a lot of commotion. The mind has to be constantly redirected or it does not have one. You can lower your stress by meditation and thus improve your immune system. You can start to teach like Pythagoras and pay your students. You can travel to other states of consciousness before it becomes too late.

You can develop the where-with-all to grant to yourself the ultimate gift.
