I left the Earth for a few moments... 

and all it's opposing forces 

clash of light and dark 

suffocating snake hold of ego 

crushing, bruising body attachments 

this feeling of “mine” 

so hard to release and 

yet so ephemeral

for a few exalted moments 

precious jeweled words 

of Lord Krishna reciting the Gita 

His emphasis on right action, 

surrender and love 

transported me... 

micro glimpses of that 

unchanging, unborn,  

ungraspable form 

with all its multifaceted faces 

gleamed deep within me 

and far beyond 

the dazzling heavens 

"You have a right to perform your duty, but never to the fruits of your actions. 

Do not be motivated by the results, nor be attached to inaction."  Bhagavad Gita 2.47

"Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; 

nor will any of us cease to exist in the future."

Bhagavad Gita 2.12
