The One

Periyar Tiger by Meenakshi S.

There is a place of infinite beginnings, where gods are born.

Smaller than the smallest, yet greater than the greatest, it has no name...though whispers of Tao and Brahman are heard in that silence.

It is everywhere and nowhere, the invisible heart of everything.

It is a secret spring of energy, the power of becoming bubbling out of the depths of being.

Gurgling  mysteriously between the formless and form, it is  the breath of breaths, the life-force, the divine ecstasy.

Here the rivers of knowledge and devotion and action all have their source....and also here is their final confluence, the ocean into which they dissolve and disappear.

From this fire of waters, dreams of creation rise like many-coloured smoke....yet this is the unchanging ground of forever, the heart of now and always.

This is home.

Out of the infinite depths of absolute peace, bubbles of truth-consciousness-bliss rise inexorably towards the surface, towards expression in the dance of dimensions  that flings endless galaxies across space-time.

Siva-Shakti dances in creation and destruction.... perfection arising!

Aware,conscious, intelligent energy spins atoms out of emptiness and creates the infinite universe.

This energy and this emptiness are equally divine;  everything is built of God-stuff, sparks of eternity.

Thus the Real is hidden at the very heart of the illusion; the veil appears and disappears, only the substratum stays unchanged.

There is only One.

Everything is One.
You are It!
