Celestial Embrace

Posted on Updated on

Celestial Embrace

My arms wide open

 My thoughts, and

 My covetous eyes

To Embrace

The Vast, Blissful, Universe

The Irresistible long wait

The Coming and Going

In My Apprehension, to

Forget and Dissolve, to

Unveil the screen Amid

Being in the midst for Millenniums

 Was in Aplomb, to

Be one with You, now

You have come as My Consort

As if the outcome of my Penance

Quintessentially in form

Is that in Disguise?

In Flesh and Blood, with

The Warmth of your Body and Heart

The Petrichor emitting from your body

I Snuggled into You

Our bodies Entwined

The Texture of your skin

The Nectar from your lips and tongue

The Essence of the Divine

Compassion on this Terra

Your Voice, Speech and Language

A Celestial Music

Your presence a Fervour, Aroma, Incense

Your Human embrace

Makes me feel

Am no more being Human

In your Being, Infinity and Bliss

I would want to Disembody

 I feel Embodied, in

 Your Celestial Embrace

The Following are some Video clips which do find time or reserve time to listen to them. You can as well book mark them while you read this post. Of the hundreds of videos available on You Tube I have taken efforts to select only four of them, I like the first one most, there are some beautiful stunning images over there. Please see to the images and the music is wonderful, I am sure everyone of you shall enjoy them. You cannot see them at a time, but do find time, they shall give you a soothing feeling. I am thinking to insert another one or two for your joy.

      Thanks for that Tony!
      Even I did learn that while finding better words for the poetry.
      But I am not satisfied with your comment as you have not expressed anything about the lines of the poetry. This is the first time ever I am expressing it to anyone. As I am always delighted about your comments.
      You are an experienced and spiritually inclined person, so words from your side shall be fantastic I know. Could you please reread and re-comment, that shall be amazing.
      Blessings

        You’re a hard taskmaster sir!! So sorry, only just read your comment. Ok I know, ’twas a paltry thing of a comment, really just for sake of making contact & acknowledging your work. Truth to tell I was, and still am, in a mood where….. I read this, but even though I experience a depth and stillness in meditatation now, many mornings, but then in the day I am flat, uninspired, as if living two separate lives. I’m not worried about it because several teachers in the lineage that I follow say that a person practicing Kriya, any quite intense path, will have things thrown up out of their minds all the time. So I try to stay a little detached when I remember, and wait for the storm, or the dull drizzle, to pass. To have people on the other side of the world, such as yourself encouraging me is a godsend!! I will reread you work, and the Rumi poem that Anam has just posted and perhaps my mood lifts. Thank you Shiva.

          Tony!
          I do not understand how you recognized that trait in me that I am a Hard Task Master. Yes when it comes to tasks I am. As I play with the mind but embrace with my heart.
          Yes I do know that many do that – ‘sake of making contact and acknowledge thing’.
          When I visit blogs only if I like I put it and most times I comment sincerely. Anyways
          I would perhaps want to say something which you have expressed about two separate lives. I think somewhere you are taking it wrong. It is all the game of the mind which plays on our lives. So understanding it better would make the path less obstacles free. Yes the Kriya and other practices do make so. At the time, turn the mind or keep it busy the other way – make it to WITNESS, that shall work and give you better and fruitful results. One more thing Observe and Witness again the mind itself, make it to listen to YOUR commands, as the Master is YOU.
          So come again as your mood lifts.
          Love and Regards,
          Shiva

      This is wonderful. It is the same with me. When I read something aloud and that too when it is important you get to know it better.
      Oh! before publishing this post I took about a week or so to complete it in all respects, I did read it aloud many times over and that was Music as you said. Listen to these videos when you have time, the first one is great. The others keep them for the night while sleeping.
      I think I shall sleep well today with all the comments pouring.

    Hi Shiva I shall return to comment more at another time, as it is late here, I’ve had a busy evening but wanted to stop by to read your poem before going to bed. It is of course very deep and thought-provoking and there is more to say. I am going to listen to the the first video as I go to sleep tonight, I find it so very soothing and the flowers are so gorgeous opening up as they do! Another poem where you have put your heart and soul into it and it is reflected! Have a wonderful celestial day!!

      Actually that is so when our Puranas and Mythology tell stories of the Lords and their respective Consorts.
      They have been studied and have been thought so to put them in prose and poetry forms.

      So Shivangi, every line, every word here is so very important. If I start to explain it, it may end up in volumes. You just keep reading the lines slowly and try to know the intrinsic meaning.
      It talks of a human or a being in broader terms, who is in the midst for years and years, for lives and lives, for millenniums and millenniums. It speaks of Bhagavad Gita – what Krishna told to Arjuna, it speaks of Krishna and Radha – the greatest love epic of Bhagavatam. It even speaks of Moksha – Transcendence, Salvation, Benediction, Liberation and whatsoever you want to call it as different schools of thought have given different words.
      What more shall I explain and how so shall I.
      You keep in touch and may ask.
      I am happy to know you had a Celestial experience. I think after this reply to you, you shall have better and profound experience. It goes like that. More so after your feelings.
      And all the best to you.
      Let blessings shower on You.

    an embrace couldn’t have been described more beautifully than this…. sometimes i wonder one life is too small a time to see and feel everything. we waste half of it trying to find ourselves and the rest of it trying to be one with the universe. Myths and stories of eternal love somehow get lost in our cynical approach of life. sometimes i envy the kids I teach and marvel at their innocence. Growing up has made us so cynical in our approach to life that we often miss out on the beauty within and search for it outside….

    Ranjini after I read your this wonderful comment I once again felt like going to my poem and read it and read it like someone else has written. I myself was feeling so good about the embrace – a Celestial Embrace.
    How many lives we bring we shall tend to do the same. Better know things fast and get out of it. Hugs!
    Thanks for the Award presented. I accept it and shall write.
    I am not allergic to Awards, you can see the Awards posts I have written. Only thing is I shall buy some time. Though they consume hell of a time it is a pleasure. Many do not reply back or show a different attitude towards it. I need not say much you just read those posts of mine.
    Please read “Distant Heart”
    It is in rhymes. I am sure you shall enjoy it.
    Tomorrow is Color Day in our town. Here in Karnataka Holi goes on for five days. Each place chooses their day, ours is fifth day.
    I am getting some exciting inspiration to write about Holi I spent during the past days. Let us see if it comes out to be a Grand Post.
    In regard to the guest post I have no idea, let me think over that.
    Showers of blessings to You.
    Shiva
