The Inner Guide
A Selection of Poems

by Jay Mazo

 

THE INNER GUIDE

You are no more nature’s slave
When you seek God within your soul’s cave.
God is not very far
When the inner guide shines as your star.
When you practice what the Guru does teach
The Divine will appear within your heart’s reach.
When the body and mind make no more sound
Then the peaceful bliss of God your soul has found. 

CREATION’S MYSTERY

Spirit’s transformation into matter is God’s bewitching work
Inside every atom and cell the mysterious Godhead does lurk.
The Divine abides in life but lets it apparently dissolve
It is God’s will that into Spirit life will evolve.
The Eternal becoming multiple phenomena in time is His magic The Infinite being contained in form is His fantastic trick.
When Spirit descends into matter it self imposes a limit
When creation ascends into divinity Spirit’s glory is fully lit.

BEYOND DEATH

He went beyond death approaching God as he flew
Beyond the senses he discovered where Spirit’s lotus heart grew.
He gazed beyond thought to become lost in nirvana’s silence
He stood beyond his foaming desires to experience soul’s essence.
He braved extinction in eternal nothingness to realize the all
He opened God’s blazing door by following his soul’s call.
Ego died releasing his soul’s rebirth into the Cosmic I
He achieved God’s infinite consciousness by letting his limitations die.

ONE WITH GOD

By devotion’s love I feel within I and Thee
By wisdom’s discrimination I know that I Am He.
In the heart I enjoy God’s radiant shapely vision
In the head my separateness merges into Spirit’s invisible union.
I worship what I already am concealed
In silent meditation my soul’s divine identity is revealed.
I love what I have always been
I the soul am one with God deep within.

THE ATMAN

The atman resides in the silence of the Supreme
It passes unchanged through many bodies that are its dream.
The spark of God’s presence is beyond nature’s form
Its reality is felt when divinity comes to spiritually reform.
The absolute witness exists within for all to realize
Living in mental calm you attain Spirit’s eternal prize.
The soul is God’s flame that longs to heavenly burn
By meditation the atman’s silent presence your heart will learn.

 

THE COSMIC DREAM

We exist as part of the cosmic dream
Our experiences of life give us a faint gleam.
We live by searching for the real
By inner silence God experience we can feel.
The divine quest begins with Who Am I
The answer comes when meditation opens the divine eye.
Divine oneness is our self discovery we must make
Then in God we are fully awake.

SPIRIT’S = CREATIVE WORD

I swim on Spirit’s sea having arisen from eternity’s bottom
I blow throughout every galaxy and atom.
The worlds arose out of the still Being’s cyclonic breath
The divine sound holds the secret beyond life and death.
My seawave roar cosmically rumbles throughout as Spirit’s creative Aum
From God’s voice universes divinely evolve toward their spiritual home.
Let the mind silently listen for the liberating mystic word
You plunge into infinity when divinity’s vibrating chant is heard.

EXPERIENCE SPIRIT’S SILENCE

What can we experience in Spirit’s silence?
The awareness of God’s pervading presence.
What can we see in consciousness’ space?
The outline of the Eternal’s baffling face.
What can we hear in our soul’s interior?
The cosmic sound that permeates nature’s exterior.
How can we know divinity?
By the flame of meditation which illuminates our identity.

THE COSMIC BODY

The eye of God sees when kindled by concentration’s candle
We must spiritually grow out of the mind’s earthly cradle.
The cosmic voice speaks when we become silently receptive
Our ears hear His song when we are love’s captive.
The eternal mind dreams the story of life’s finite creation
We know our source when God’s light dawns by aspiration.
The divine maker’s heart is won by our lifelong devotion
Our soul is a candle floating on Spirit’s conscious ocean.

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

Cosmic consciousness is being aware of God everywhere at once
To attain that state you must meditate many months.
When all forms melt into unending light
Then Spirit’s reality appears before your awakened third eye’s sight.
Being one with the Supreme you simultaneously dissolve and expand
You will see the world being held in God’s hand.
When by concentration your separate ego consciousness disappears
Then by Spirit’s will the liberating cosmic consciousness suddenly appears.
