The Superficial Self And The Transcendental Powers. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
The Superficial Self And The Transcendental Powers.
The superficial self, knows
nothing of the attitude
of this silent watcher
who dwells in the innermost.
The superficial self is wholly
taken up by the world of senses
and the constant messages
she gets from the sense-world
that she knows or understands
nothing of the relationship
of the real self and the unattainable
object of all thoughts.
What the mystic does is to
become deliberately inattentive
to the messages and inclinations
of the senses and thereby the mystic
brings the ground of the soul
or the seat of Transcendental
feeling into the area of consciousness.
Once it is thus brought
to the conscious level,
it becomes amenable
to the activity of the will.
Such losing to find appears
to be necessary, if man's
transcendental powers
are to be brought
to its fullness.
All problems of the world may be solved if majority of the men recognize their superficial self and act in accordance with its directives. A great philosophic thought nicely penned.

Truly philosophical, dear Poet. The silent watcher keeps watching without batting an eyelid, while the superficial body keeps searching for external gratifications.In most cases, these contradictions exist. But the Mystic is different. He is never enamoured by the senses. He looks inwards and recognises the true self within. Thank you, Tony.....10
