Gap Between Thoughts

Buddha's Emptiness


Waves in the ocean
all made of water

"Catch the gap between thoughts"
Swami Chinmayananda tells students
searching and seeking enlightenment.

Patanjali's Yoga Sutra opening—
"Yoga is ceasing of the flow of thoughts."—
so this was the guidance I followed.

Paul Brunton told me "It's easier
to capture the moment before falling
asleep than the moment upon waking.

I've had over 29,000 chances
in my 81 years, but that precious
moment always escaped me.

Be alert for the Twilight Zone—
where Krishna unveiled to Arjuna
a thousand suns in the sky.

Or perhaps it's sunyata
dark Emptiness of Buddha—
the Nothingness of Nirvana.

Focus less on the form,
more on the essence—
on water not the waves.

Abide in silence behind the music,
be aware that all movies are
projected on the white screen.
