Inner Journey

On the route to self,
the liberation,
Have faith in yourself,
the inner Joy,
You alone are not enough,
trivial,
The journey is deep and absurd,
Where to go and whom to meet?
Can a drop of dew meet the ocean?
The meeting is elusive and secret,
The drop drops to dissolve, vanish!
The sky is the root and
no one can meet the Sky,
How can you limit the unlimited,
Only the cry of heart can help,
Only flame can meet the flame,
Inner journey is deep and tardy,
It is as if no journey,
The inner is naught,
The flame is vanished to meet the flame,
Only flame can meet the inner,
Prayer is the flame, that can connect
the outer with the inner,
Outer is inner and meeting is false,
The air is to be stable to start
the journey,
The mind is airy and
the flame is restless,
To meet the inner
the mind is to be destroyed,
Without mind who can take up
the journey?
The journey without journey
is the Journey,
The sound without sound is the root,
Journey to self is nothing but
dropping what you have,
Dropping and dropping
and having nothing to drop,
Dropping the thought of self is to own it,
Dropping the mind is to own the no mind,
No mind is the sky of consciousness,
the space of undivided,
Like the light of The Moon
having no light of the Moon,
The Moon is false and illusory,
But it brings joy of moonlit night,
Mind is bondage and yet
it brings liberation,
Knowing false as false opens the way,
Inner journey is deep emptiness,
Without moving an inch
the journey begins,
The inner voice is still
and only wordless
thought can touch it,
The thought of thoughtless Muse,
The music without words, Silence!
The self is self-illumination,
radiant effulgence,
The words and mind embrace and
the route becomes the goal,
The mind as container of being,
The knowledge and peace
is the source,
Liberation is leaving
the holding onto nothing,
Ultimately leaving the
Joy of liberation.
Inner Journey is simply stopping
all other Journeys.

take a lamp you may go hither to thither everywhere at dark period but at stormy night you have to wait a while to safe self from disastrous calamity o its my path since the birth was so enlightened but after entering into the world knowledge it is in decaying to the dark even in delightful day! o if I cannot plant the light of insight into my inner path of knowledge it'll be impossible to walk on myself pavement..............//
