If when you close your eyes, this world is gone, <br />An inner world comes into your purview; <br />And when you close your ears while all alone, <br />This world anew, you can better review. <br /> <br />And when your skin’s benumbed, outer world’s lost, <br />You can now look better into your mind; <br />The world inside has become yours and vast; <br />The things you yearned for, you can always find. <br /> <br />Now, when you blank your mind, this world too wanes; <br />A tranquil state prevails one never felt! <br />Without sadness or joy, trifles or pains; <br />Now, hold your breath and things will tend to melt. <br /> <br />Self-meditation makes a man feel God, <br />For, deep within his heart, resides the Lord!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-self-meditation/
