TRUTH IS PATHLESS LAND.

Where No Grass Grows ...

The Wise Say :

Wait!

The Grass Grows By Itself !

Yes! 

How The Wise Could Say, 

What Is False!

But Isn't This Also True, 

It's The Rains, 

That Usher In The Waters, 

That Help Bringing Up The Sprout, 

Hidden In The Seed, 

The Seed, Hidden In The Earth,

The Earth, Barren and Fallow,

Dry And Arid, 

Performs Great Penance, 

Undergoes Harsh And Severe Heat, 

Before The Clouds Gather In The Sky!

The Same Clouds, 

That Are Hidden in The Waters, 

That Are Streaming In The Seas! 

And The Seas, 

Though Limitless, 

Are At The Mercy Of The Sun.

Who Might Know Well,

What Might Be Penance, 

For Him,

The Penance and The Austerities,

Might Be The Way Of Existence Only!

The Existence,

That Is : Unborn, Undying, Uncaused,

Extending From The Times Unknown,

And Beyond Towards The Known!

Is By Itself!

सत्येन लभ्यस्तपसा ह्येष आत्मा

सम्यग्ज्ञानेन ब्रह्मचर्येण नित्यम्।।

अन्तःशरीरे ज्योतिर्मयो हि शुभ्रो

यं पश्यन्ति यतयः क्षीणदोषाः।।५।।

(मुण्डकोपनिषद् ३-१)
