Why do I meditate?

I meditate
To know my Self
Beyond the self
To dissolve
The narrow trappings
Of ego
And ripple out
Into the absolute

I meditate
So for one second,
One instant (eternal),
I can feel the space
That holds this life,
The Reality without,
So much vaster
Than the narrow confines
Of mind and thought

Boundless Beauty,
The world beyond duality,
Without opposites

I meditate
To clear the cobwebs
Of doubt and fear,
To feel my Wise Self,
Touching the infinite.

Limitless,
Crystalline,
Twirling lightly
Through life’s
Minefields
