Wandering hither and thither,
I had been,
Trying to find out a way,
Out of this maddening labyrinth
Of 'Philosophy', and 'philosophies',
When the Guru entered stealthily,
Guided me,
Despite all my overt,
And covert resistence,
And said,
Forget all,
That, whatever you have learned,
Leave aside all,
That, whatever you have acquired.
For it is not your's.
Leave the doubt and the faith,
That are the two branches of the tree of 'knowledge',
-The 'known'.
And awaken to 'The Wisdom'.
For, Wisdom is not information,
It is not another escape from the Truth,
And it is ever there,
As your heart,
As the Truth of Love,
As the Love of Truth,
As the Love and Truth.
But before you discover this,
You need to remove the distractions,
Of your wandering mind,
Accept that you know nothing.
Just look with your eyes,
Wide open in wonder,
The Life,
That is within and without.
Without the intervention of the knowledge,
Without the interpretation of your mind,
That is laden with concepts, and words,
The one that out of fear and greed,
Defines the Right and the Wrong,
And the Good and the Bad.
"What about scriptures ?"
-A doubt raised it's head.
Unless and untill,
Your insight is awakened,
"You are not qualified to interpret them."
He replied.
And other's views are secondary,
Even more confusing.
And I obeyed,
I followed,
And followed.
Because He WAS the insight,
And He WAS the Straightforward conviction,
Born out of my own understanding.
Coming out from my very being.
And it was the Begining of the End,
Of my search.
