Socrates, The Great Sage Poem by Tushar Ray

This message is about the famous mystic, Socrates:
The sage who used to roam on the streets of Athens
Holding a lamp in his hand
With pair of piercing eyes
Always fixing on passing faces lifting the lamp high
And nodding his head in denial as he went along!
'What are you looking for, Socrates? ' some would ask
And the sage would say 'A complete man'!
'I want to find a man in total communion'
'And have you found that to date? '
'Oh not yet, not yet', said Socrates as he walked along!
And as the legend goes his frantic search ended in vain

Essence of this fable is this:
That the Spirit, like the Sun, is self revealing
And depending on the level of self-realization in a man
The Spirit reveals itself accordingly on the man's face
Since face is the mirror of a man
That bears the Soul's accurate reflection
And self-realized souls reflect own spirit in full communion
So, the corporal body is like a thin lamp-cover to them

Such total connectivity pervades within and without us
Built on a feedback support system of our universe
That creates and sustains this vastly intricate network
And almighty Spirit-self is empowering this work
Upon realization of which we become free as the Spirit
And though living in a material body
A man becomes the Self-revealing, all-connected entity
Engaged in a vast field of Quantum creativity
Always aware of his own nature of endless possibility
Where one enjoys the spirit-self in spontaneous fun
Hence, this state is most beloved to entire humanity
And Socrates was looking for such a total man
Who like himself enjoying own-self in spiritual unity!
