The unknowing cloud

Poem:

When your remembrance of God is complete you will have completed your mission. You can do Simran without intermission. Thoughts of the world are only worth pennies on the dollar - it is better to concentrate on your guru. Meditation is the ultimate in fixing. You can use your third eye as an escape hatch and regularly withdraw. The bliss is worth it you will no longer need sensual pleasures. The sunset can be your entertainment. Sensory pleasures are superfluous and become unnecessary. The expectation that things will last long is not a good one. You can develop very good prayer knees and still not be very faithful. The times may have changed since when we still had Elaine. You may now just eat breakfast in solitude. Worldly things are now viewed with disdain. The crown jewel and opposite of narcissism is mysticism. Your third eye could be your assembly point for going to Mecca. Life is in reality a spiritual event you can go to in your third eye to zoom in. Vigilance can be your principal engine. You can just stay in position. You can lockdown your brain and just withdraw without explanation. The music of the spheres can be your principal indicator of direction. The rumblings of God can make you more humble. You can sit on the floor like a yogi to make it more formal. If you just did Simran or Dhikr for a long time and then just plugged your ears you could become the Sultan ul Azkar in no time. Complete ascent up to Sach khand is the goal not to a half way house. You could get your doctorate in specifying where to find nothingness. You do not have to keep putting logs on the fire. You can let the size of your family decline and just empty your mind. Early is good for the birds. Spirituality is something that can be done everyday until you become wise. Returning to evening meditation is a good way to transition. The words of Swami Shiv Dayal Singh is a great way to harvest the truth. You could assemble a great list of classics and just call it school. You can make your permanent home in the deep recesses of your third eye. Eventually your Guru will arrive with a big turban. One way to properly observe life is to withdraw from it. With a great amount of Grace you can decide for yourself if you are released.

A course in mysticism might include Evelyn Underhill, William James and Aldous Huxley. You could read the Cloud of Unknowing and realize you did not know it. The main thing is not to be a scatterbrain. You can become less thickheaded by not eating and sinning. If you were more of a chaos theoretician you might understand life better.
