The Absolute
By: Sri Chinmoy
No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought; The final end of Nature’s dance, I am it whom I have sought. A realm of Bliss bare, ultimate; Beyond both knower and known; A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the One alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life, I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; My cosmic play is done.

He is best known for his multifaceted contributions to spirituality, the arts, and athletics.

Thank you for the reminder of the spiritual wisdom of Sri Chinmoy. My cousin is a long-time devotee and was a part of his core community in Queens in back in the 70s/80s. She continues to honor his memory with her musical compositions. Your post will be a good opportunity to call her today and share the poem and some conversation with her.
Breathtakingly sublime........!!!!
