Atmānanda- Laharī

The eye (I) of the cyclone   It is calm and quiet at the eye   It is calm and quiet at the I Waves of storms surround the eye Waves of thoughts surround the I Swirl of wind encloses the eye Breath of air is included in the I Body of the storm acts around the eye Body of Jiva acts in the presence of I Pressure of the wind changes around the eye Perception of the senses changes around the I   Meter measures the chatter around the eye Mind perceives pain and pleasure around the I   The silent energetic matter is the eye   The silence beyond energy and matter is the I  

Free fall Flowing with the mind Falling with the wind Leaving behind the tree Finding the path free I am not a lonely leaf I have no fear or grief I am not small but all I enjoy the free fall I transcend the time and space I dance to the tune of the cosmos I “as though” fall in the fall I “as though” spring in the spring I wave at everyone in style I change colors to bring the smile I exist in the present That is life’s present Swami TV talk Upadesa Saram  Nov11 2022

Witnessing Awareness Consider the possibility I am not the body I am not the mind I am not the senses I am the witness Living is then entirely incidental The stranglehold of living Is slacken by this perspective Body is the field where Pleasure and pain happen I am aware of the field and the happenings They do not happen to me I am aware of the body I am the witnessing awareness The door to higher personality Is now open widely I may slip back and forth But this vision is to be held I am free flowing awareness Free and limitless whole I am I know Limitless I am, I know I know that I am I know that I am limitless Based on Swami Tattvavidanandaji Guided meditation 09 2004
