The border of power and Mind.

WARNING : DO NOT ENTER THIS HEAVEN WITHOUT FIRST WATCHING GAZ'S SAFETY FILM:
www.youtube.com/watchv=5DfDlgZ8cHM&t=29s

This is the crisis of the narrative, where the final battle between love and ego is fought. The crisis line is crossed at- "Do not try to conquer others; conquer yourself."

BEWARE! In the fourth heaven - an Almighty Power station unregulated by the Divine Knowledge and Divine Bliss attained in the final three - the grail quester can slide all the way back to the petrified might of Hell Bottom through everything he/she has ever done or been.

Even this epic catastrophe is temporary (in ultimate terms) as the Stone it makes of the Heart - or the object noun of its own very long sentence - then renews the entire process all over again. But the Guide does not recommend it.

lyrics

Tu dastgu shu ay khizr I pay khujastih, kih man
Piyadih miravam o hamrahan savaranand (Hafiz)
“O august master, lead me by the hand because I am traversing the Path on foot (helplessly) as compared with other companions who are riding along it.”

This is the highest I’ve ever been. Look! - all the kingdoms of the three worlds. And they’re all mine!
Careful, that’s Khuber talking. The possessor of all riches.
Whoo! WHOOP! … Who’s that goon flagging me down?
The archangel Michael. Saving you from yourself.
Ha! I’m Omnipotent, the sun of morning. Everything I see is a mirror of my glory. What can Old Michael do? Send his minions to turn me to stone?
Yes. Like Perseus out-snaked the Medusa. He’s holding that mirror. You’re a troll looking at the sun....

"Do not try to conquer others; conquer yourself and you will have conquered the world." (Meher Baba)

Mortal blitzgrieg’s a mere shadow of my splendour but above
More than Pure Will’s Look of Thunder, Lash of Lightning, is our Love.

“Do not once,” warned my beloved, “try to conquer other selves.
If you conquer yours, you’ve conquered there the whole world in my Love.”

On a sword-edge bridge of thought deeds - to my Love’s wish or my own:
All the power of my glory; all the sweet fire of his Love.

In a dark night, He has left me crying blindly for his glare:
Turn the hell-scorch of this longing to the blazed pain of our Love!

In an agony of passion I could smash worlds into dust.
All my flash mind is exploding, in the space void of his Love.

The Baba Lovers England, UK

The Baba Lovers are an Atlantic-transcending duo: English poet Gareth Calway and American singer-songwriter Gabriella Tal. The Beloved is Avatar Meher Baba, whose favourite poet was Hafiz and whose favourite poetic form the ghazal (a Persian love lyric). We met in India at the Meher Pilgrim Centre in Ahmednagar in 1994 and wrote a couple of songs. We reconnected online in 2016 and wrote an album. ... more
