Kundalini

Incredible though it seems, it is a fact That Prana and pure consciousness react On one another to produce the myth Of this stupendous world we battle with. Then consciousness a wondrous aspect wears, So lofty and sublime that all our fears And doubts about ourselves dissolve at once, As if illumined by a hundred suns Of knowledge to be assured the Vision seen Is That which will be, is and e’er has been; The Source Eternal of all that is known. The world of that too by which it is shown The mind and process by which this is done: The whole scheme of creation in but One. In this amazing radiant Presence all The staggering worlds, which awe us and enthrall, Become a ghostly shadow seen at night; A far-off melting cloud in sunshine bright, While mind, with ego vastly whittled down, In mute astonishment sees itself drown Into one all-enfolding Life sublime, Only pure consciousness, devoid of time And space, one all-embracing world of love And joy not found on earth or heaven above. —Gopi Krishna, The Riddle of Consciousness (Location 120)
