Poems by Grand Master - "Dadaji"

Do You Ever Meditate?

You fix up time, regular and punctual

And you plan to meditate.

You take a bath, become clean and fresh,

And you get ready to meditate.

You select a corner dark and cool

And you desire to meditate.

You prepare the seat - soft & clean

And you wish to meditate.

You bring the flowers fresh and fragrant

And you decide to meditate.

You burn incense and rich perfumes

And you aspire to meditate.

You sit in Asana, straight and still,

And you try to meditate.

You chant, breathe and concentrate,

And you think you meditate.

And with all these preparations and plans of mind,

Do you ever become free from thought to meditate?

Do You Ever Meditate?

Meditation

Meditation… Meditation…

It is not the focussing of attention.

Nor is it narrowing of Consciousness,

It is not the thought in its exclusion

Meditation… Meditation…

It is not the glorified experience

Nor is it a flight of wishful will

It is not an enforced silence!

What is true Meditation?

It's a perception of mind's entire movement,

An aloof attention in the present,

Witnessing without any one witnessing

A Total Experience of the Moment!

Meditation… Meditation…

A transparent flow of Internal Energy,

Without any hindrance or deception,

With tranquillity and clarity.

Meditation… Meditation…

An experience of Enormous,

A moment of total fulfillment,

A creative timeless Existence,

That is true Meditation;

that is true Meditation!
