KNOW THYSELF

 

K. M. Kale

 

We are not confined

To this mortal frame

Nor are we puppets

In Maya’s illusive game.

 

Even time and space

We do transcend

For we’ve no beginning

Nor do have any end.

 

Being part of reality

It’s reality we seek

Like a drop of water

That the sea does seek.

 

Transiency is but a dream

Seen by the sleeping soul

when eternity is its nature

And eternity its goal.

 

All sorts of problems arise

When with body we identify

Day by day become complex

And any solution do defy.

 

That’s why ‘know thyself’

All wisemen have said

But to this wise saying

Little heed we’ve paid.
