Tapasya


What language is spoken in dreams?
Should you speak to the Divine in words? Who and where is He?
The end of the quest is the end of the question.

He is the one true Listener, the giant ear in the Heart.
Speak to him with all your being….humbly, sincerely, lovingly.
Wait patiently for His answer.
When He begins to speak, every cell, every atom in you will hear.
Then all your speaking will end.
So will all your doubts and questions, your suffering, your pain , your misery.
This is how the axe of Grace will descend upon your neck: sadhana ends when the sadhak disappears!
Now you will be perfect and ecstatic silence; as you sink in the Heart cave,
you will be bathed in that loving, healing, compassion,
you will dissolve so gladly in that transcendent bliss.
So what happens when you merge at last with the Self?
Does tapasya end?
The tapasvin disappears, but Jeevan mukti is merely incessant, joyous tapas,
natural, blissful, involuntary and impersonal tapas.
This total, self-effulgent, perfect tapas is jnana, is bhakti, is Brahman.
This is the true power behind all that exists.
