The Search For Self. From The Indian. Poem by Michael Shepherd
The Search For Self. From The Indian.
I read about the Self
and sought it
but it said nothing
I worshipped the Self
but it did not smile at me
I surrendered every action
to the Self
but it only watched,
said nothing,
did not smile
now I am silent,
watch, and smile:
how can you find
that which you never lost?
You can find something you never lost but what you think you have lost(illusion) by just peeking inside your heart! Preets
