THE REALITY
AJNEYA
(Translated from the original in Hindi by
Dr. Ravi S. Varma)
Whenever a fish
writhes and wriggles in the sea
we comprehend its depth.
Whenever a meteor
shoots and falls from the sky
we realize space is boundless.
Whatever exists
is mystery inscrutable
existence is its own proof.
Every occurrence
the object of knowledge
sets its limit and its measure.
All that exists
and all that occurs
rests in the lap of Eternity.
Knowledge gropes for apprehension
turns and twists
moves on and then discards all.
The reality lies not in the sea
but in the fish
that it ensnares.
It is the sea
that invokes us
and not we.
