The golden opportunity

Poem:

The fact remains that every day is a golden opportunity to touch upon the Sublime. Why not just begin Now! You could set a first priority just for five. All you have to do is say five charged words and not move. Apparently you have to manage your traits to get to the right states. Whether corona virus is a threat or not, you can just stay home all morning and meditate and take the opportunity. You can just recharge your brain instead of always complain. You could clear out the cobwebs that constitute your veil. While others continue to create a big fat mess you could just continue on the straight and narrow and just declutter. You could just work on finishing and not starting. A minimalist is often as rare as a mystic. You can flatten the curve of your busyness and stop creating so much new karma. Sitting in posture can be considered an accomplishment. You don’t have to be half way there if you are at least started. You can realize the privilege of being human. You can live in a monastery of just One. If the doorway to the other world is in the present? Why aren’t you in it? The proper habit inly only comes with development. You can do Simran until you are full to the brim. You can develop devotion with any song that includes the words Sat Nam. You could be at the cusp between life and death not knowing which way you are going so it might make sense just to meditate. You do not have to commit to prostration all day just for an hour. You could reach enlightenment before your appointed hour. You could distill philosophy to the simple axiom of just not moving. You can just concentrate on a single point and take it to be everywhere. You can sink deep into the event horizon.
