Knowledge Is A Funny Kind Of Belief System Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In today's era of knowledge
Everyone is scrambling to know
And people are struggling to know which knowledge to believe in
We have conspirators, vegetarians, economists, politicians,
Religious fundamentalists, Scientists...etc.
All vying for the highest pedestal of knowledge
But what is knowledge?
A drop of water is full of knowledge
But many have chosen to discard this kind of knowledge
Rushing to dive deep into the fabric of knowing
To try and pry open the hard surface of the mind
It is not uncommon for people to add their contents of delusions
Into the cup of knowledge, unaware that they have created a poisonous vile
They will go ahead and pour this toxic mixture into the river of life
Do not hold knowledge in your hands and be satisfied with yourself
Empty yourself and remove all traces of your acquired knowledge
Because knowledge is a funny kind of belief system
Disrobe yourself of this delusion
And only put on the garment of nothingness
Now, you can search for the Truth (true knowledge)
Not with the eyes of logic or through any algorithms
But with the substance of your being
The mind alone is not capable of telling you the Truth
The body alone will not enter the realm of the Truth
The Soul alone will not forsake its covenant and show you the Truth
The body, mind and soul have to be together
And in unison, they are will dissolve into Silence (Stillness)
This is the path of Light
The Truth is not a specific kind of knowledge (not science or religion or culture)
It is true knowledge poured into the fabric of being
So that we can discern between what is truly us and what is acquired
True knowledge (The Truth) is not acquired
It is the substance of our being
Now you can allow your body, mind and soul to disentangle
And your heart will be the portal of knowing
This is the spirituality of knowing
Faith, hope and Love are the sacred paths of knowing
But unconditional Love is the ultimate awareness
