The state of purgation is of pain and effort. Self takes to this way by discipline and mortification. I like this sentence. People can not indulge their own desires, restraint can be happy, thank you!

The awakening of self is surely to liberation. According to the great teacher Swami Vivekananda it is a direct action to free the soul, to take the torch to the gloom, to clean out what is behind, to shake it up or even defy it and to march onwards piercing the gloom. That is the goal-the superconscious. I enjoyed your philosophy. Congratulations.

Dear, dear Tony, So very delighted to see you on this page as the Poet of the day. And it is a poem after my heart - the mystical philosophy! India is full of such mystical philosophers who derive great bliss of their deep love for God. The awakening of the Self happens in three different ways, through knowledge (Jnana) , Karma (Action) or Devotion (Bhakti) . The ancient mystics chose any of these path, thought they say pure devotion or love is the sweetest form of awakening the self through complete surrender. The awakening of the self to the consciousness of divine reality is marked by intense feelings of joy and exaltation. The divine bliss or Ananda is experienced by few exalted souls. May you be blessed with this divine beauty and bliss. Tony- a wonderful poem! You deserve all praise. A full 100 for you!

I felt the beauty while reading the poem. It is indeed an amazing experience to feel this Presence Some people have never felt this (not uncommonly because of willing refusal) They miss out on a great feeling. I often compare it to love. Some people may not feel love and deny its existence. So is with what is described in this poem. Once we feel it, we KNOW it is true Excellent poem, my friend. Congrats

What a bunch of hooey. Please explain what is meant by Divine Reality or the Divine Beauty. I have never experienced such a thing. I know my imperfections already. I was born and I will die. I bleed and I excrete. Day by day I tend my garden and endeavor to rid it of the weeds that ineluctably grow. Why, I ask, can a man who pretends to speak of the unknowable with earthly words be intimated by a dirty unbeliever such that you would censor his (my) words? Blasphemy, I say. If what you write is unassailable then why worry about what a petty, unwashed poet such as myself might write in disagreement. Your insecurity reveals how little faith you put in what you profess. Bah.

tony, i definitely relate to the first and second stanzas. perhaps you've now read Accepted as I Was from my little book I Heard God Speaking. what a profoundly joyful experience to realize God sees us as we are- deeply flawed as we are- and know God accepts us. -glen
