Benediction

Mystical poetry shrinks to word-size expressions/the subtlety of meaning of something that introduces itself to the awareness of one's eternal self-Soul (Divine Revelations).
I appreciate Sri Aurobindo's take on this topic: "To the mystic there is no such thing as abstraction. Everything which to the intellectual mind is abstract has a concreteness, substantiality which is more real than the sensible form of an object or of a physical event. The mystical poet can only describe what he has felt, seen in himself or others or in the world just as he has felt or seen it or experienced through exact vision, close contact or identity and leave it to the general reader to understand or misunderstand according to his capacity."

I wrote several mystical verses many years before I received directive from within to check Aurobindo's work - in 2009, the year I began scribbling here - and despite my earlier conviction his writing wouldn't make any sense to me, I was quite surprised when I discovered: 'I already know this, because THIS happened to me!'
I am definitely not comparing my writing to his, because, well, he is Aurobindo. . .and then there is the lil' me who didn't study world's mystical traditions and had zero 'spiritual' ambitions. Still it 'happend', because my eternal self-Soul was ready in this incarnation to fulfill her 'ancient plan'. . .via the Grace-bestowed Path, when
"A hand from some Greatness opened her heart's locked doors
And showed the work for which her strength was born." - Sri A quote from Savitri

I wrote BENEDICTION May 1st, and it is my pleasure to share this poem in Spirit Speaks.
I published it in Facebook / Logos Speaks group open to public, May 1st.
Benediction is a literal description of That which unveils its Mystery / Ultimate Truth of Divine Nature in all its aspects without uttering single - this is why we call it 'Divine Revelation'.

BENEDICTION

Within the Heartbeat of Creation a symphony of Celestial rhythms
Paints fractal blooms weaving
Tapestries of unbridled passions' creativity
Upon the Loom which existence is woven.
It's footsteps echo across galaxies, leaving stardust in its wake. . .
It paints nebulae with hues of desire,
Igniting novae in the distant realms.
In its fervor it births galaxies,
It's alchemical infusion of chaos and creation cradles memories
Like ancient manuscripts inscribing Epochs in the annals of eternity.

Codes sublime announce the graceful unveiling of the Godhead in the soul of Humanity
Joining its depth to His height. . .
Guided by the Ultimate Motive in service to Truth these Celestail Charriots,
A beacon of Spirit's hope calling to itself
The Bearers of its Light to discover in their innermost Within, the Kingdom of Heaven.
Oh! seeker of Truth, stand before the Benediction with reverance
Let your gaze pierce the veil of illusion,
Find yoursel within its embrace and
Glimpse the Ineffable, the Hearbeat of Creation. . .
Which shows that the mental image of the phenomenal world as
Two aspects of the One Sonnet-Reality
Sweeping you off your feet. . .
And face-to-face meeting the All-Embracing vast Being, your True Self.

*Codes Sublime & Celestial Chariots signify 'Divine Revelations'.

Divine self-disclosure is the revelation of the Divine Beloved in all its aspects and beyond aspects. Sri Aurobindo reminds us that spiritually mature beings have a moral duty to:
"bring down heaven on earth for ourselves and mankind." +
"Philosophies and religions dispute about priority of different aspects of God and different Yogis, Rishis and Saints have preffered this or that philosophy or religion. Our business is not to follow after any aspect to the exclusion of the rest, but to embrace God in all His aspects and beyond aspects." +
"Pranayam and Asanas, concentration worship, ceremonies, religious practice are not themselves Yoga, but only a means towards Yoga. For what the Yoga searches after is not truth of thought alone or the truth of mind alone, but the dynamic truth of a living and revealing spiritual experience." +
"It is only in the supermind that Awareness, Will, Force are always one movement and automatically effective."
