WHERE THE CHILDREN OF THE LORD KEEP AWAKE

WHERE THE CHILDREN OF THE LORD KEEP AWAKE 

Night draws on its veil and covers consciousness. But the children of the Lord are wide awake when the children of the senses sleep. So in alternate bands of light and shade this interference pattern stretches across the world of men, undulating life with its rise and fall. Most men sleep to God who is ever-awake though, awaiting the ripe hour of the slumbering soul's waking. Meanwhile, the drama continues with its blossoming and withering following seasonal changes through life after life till one crystal morn the dream breaks releasing the soul unto the limpid spaces of pure freedom. The sun shines unhindered, its radiant darts piercing through the dispersed clouds of desire that had thus far obscured vision. The seer, seen and sight have unified in a flash of dissolving oneness, the Self manifesting to reveal its self-brooding for eternity. The dream has been smashed but returns with altered character to place the perceiver within the ambit of space-time once more without being able to bind it anymore with the tentacles of Maya. Such is the saga of the seer's life.
