The Bhaja Govindam encourages, commands and reminds us to contemplate the creator, the immanence in all things. To contemplate this is to know true joy. I realized this brings perfect equanimity in a direct path. The Noble Eightfold Path supports this knowledge and experience. It is the only way to live for those in love with the Creator, the immanence in all things or for those seeking that. This is heaven ~ to be one with Boundless Creative Being. Like starting a fire with flint and steel, the edges of the tinder brighten and fade, enlivened with breath, catching in the heart to spread into the world all around. For this to be real you have to love change and accept sorrow, it is balancing on a knife edge. It is tenuous, almost painful, a very different state of consciousness. It takes so much energy hence the need for the Practice to conserve and fund reserves and resources.
