Know Thyself Poem by Savita Tyagi

Know Thyself



Know thyself
Rhythm of your body
Like moon's phases
It goes through a cycle
Deep with in your psyche
Rising and falling tides
Of joy and sadness
Vibrant or sluggish
Depressing or sunny cheers
Moving in and out
In rhythmic patterns
Like seasons changing
Overlapping in Nature's
Miraculous field of action
Our bodies mini Universe
Go about with ingrained blueprints
Of high and low energy
Like pendulum swinging
Influenced by outer push
But not subservient to it
Attuned to our inner world
Seeking harmony in mind and body
Reigning our inner instinct wrapped
In duality of conflicting emotions
We learn to deal and let go
Seek a higher ground
Rise above your own violent waves
To move around with more ease
In a world full of bitter discord
And ruthless tendencies.

Knowing oneself is the greatest knowledge! We humans do not have a steady mental make up! Our moods and passions keep ocillating either giving us joy or pain. To a certain extend, we can steady our thoughts and impulses and that is through self discipline and self introspection! We have to rise above our own violent waves not to be swept away...! A great poem with philosophical thoughts!
