Nowhere Else

"The entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe." ~Ramana Maharshi

Why must you transcend the body, when every photon of your protoplasm, lymph, blood and marrow, is woven out of transcendental consciousness? This body is a matrix of subterranean cilia, fibers of starlight, celestial beams of beauty emanating from atoms of dust, vectors of time, eternal past and future, entangled through the warp and woof of neurons in your hypothalamus, yes, the whole cosmos clustered in each infinitesimal holographic spark of your ineffable uniqueness. Sense each twinge of pain as a message from the Goddess Shakti, vibrant with healing fire. Feel each throb of anger or despair in your belly or bone, as a tremor in the love-ocean. Witness your grief, your rage, your small mind desperately clinging to names and forms, as a mother watches over her children. As the moon gazes on a thousand flickering candles. As a fertile well of blackness in the galactic core, runs her luscious caress of emptiness through the hollow of a star, through a nucleus threaded on your rosary of DNA. Let the seer clearly see, without grasping the seen. Be free in the heart of chaos. There is nowhere else to be free.
