I Offer You Flowers Of Wisdom

Rating: 5.0


Isolated from the tempestuous sights,
By the fluorescent green still lakes,
A pilgrim bows to mystical Kailash.
He came here for a once-in-a-lifetime sojourn,
To find the Flowers of Wisdom.

Trying to trace a sage that grows these sparse beauties,
Willing to share them with poor men
He looks in scary caverns, in every ashram,
In the wildest otherworldly fields.

He came from far and is unstoppable,
A rain of ash, a fall of rocks
Can't lessen his seek for a worthy
Master in flesh and blood.

This man is tired, haven't slept the nights,
His days turn dry and so does his feet and soul,
But that guide with golden keys
He still hasn't met.

Worn out, one lucky evening he lays down
And meditates,
Dissolving irreversibly into the Vacuum,
The Guru available at any time.

Now all the Flowers of Wisdom live
In his pure smile.

Thank you for your kind feedback! Divine Grace pulsates unceasingly through us all but most Beings are busy with the world of forms, unwilling to investigate where do those arise from. Rare are those which know the Immortal Essence. Aum Shanti!

Beautiful poetry about the devotee that seeks his guru in snow peaked mountains of Kailash. The poem has the spirituality of a seeker. He came from far and is unstoppable, A rain of ash, a fall of rocks Can't lessen his seek for a worthy Master in flesh and blood.... is very nice as the search ends with getting of wisdom.10+++

Many thanks for reading! Wisdom is always here, because the Self / Consciousness disperses it with Grace and Love. Namaste!

In the unfathomable ocean of wisdom, the Guru still seeks. His unending search includes a search for a deserving disciple with whom, he would entrust his legacy. That is to say, while a student is in search of the right guru, the guru is on search of disciple too.

The poem aptly portrays the guru's free flight of creativity in the serene beauty of transcendent world. A work of an intricate mind. Thanks for sharing this profound poem with us.
