Egoistic Mind
******
Someone comes with a scripture in hands,
Challenging knowledge with knowledge's stick,
He shows the lines scriptures doth profess,
As if showing torch light to find the light,
Under the dark carpet he is searching the Sun,
Can The Sun be visible with the torch light?
Ego is subtle and like chameleon
it changes it's colour,
Mind is a restless wave and scripture is wind,
Can wind help the waves to be calm and quiet?
Adamant mind is like a stinking ditch,
Fragrance of knowledge can never make it clean,
Pure knowledge is an endless field,
Conceit is a wild forest, the mirage,
God can not be known,
He can be felt only when ego dissolves,
He is knowable yet unknowable,
Mind being dead Being shines; Self-effulgent,
A tiny grass can be a mirror: the way to eternity,
A drop of joy can floodgate eternal ecstasy,
Stretching of mind is nothing
but dropping it, being empty,
The losing is having it,
Knowing is attaining.
But ego is blind and it needs challenge to survive,
It is a closed door, pretends to be a knower,
With ego knowledge becomes solid,
Unable to flow towards ocean,
Knowledge is past and it is sterile,
with ego it is plastic,
Knowingness is a river and it stops not,
Without ego it is pure,
Scripture is light hidden under the cloud,
Cloud of ignorance Covers
the light within the Holy Book,
It is holy as it is whole,
The wholeness of mind can find the root,
In the wholeness ego does wither,
Ego is nothing and non-existential,
Mind nurtures it as dear child,
With the death of mind ego drops to naught,
It is good yet impediment,
It catches hold to feet so that dance can not happen,
It is song without music.
Scripture is light with hidden harp,
Only open mind can listen to that
Hidden Harmony.
