Kalpa Taru





What is

The absolute..?

please tell..i pray..

how is it like

asks

the voice

today






i hear

the answer

no louder

than a murmur..

Can knowledge

on its own

without a second

stand alone?










i don’t know

the voice replies








Then first confirm

What do you

Know?

i hear

it ask

quiet and firm








i know

as those

who came

before

that knowledge

is

the only door

that love..devotion

can be the path

but these will pass

only knowledge

will last







Dear one

Then hear

I say it now

I spare

No one

Not then

Not now








Knowledge allowed them

to speak thus

Spared..They were

because

their heart

was blind

illiterate..uneducated

it could not see

the words

the world worshipped

all it knew

was that

it did not know

what it felt

when it thought

who or what

it considered God






Those who said

‘Knowledge

Is the only door’

admitted

their devotion

is that of a dog

Their guru..their all

Their guru..

Their God

Don’t ask

They said

why or how

That’s something

of which

nothing

i know









So walk dear one

Don’t turn around

No answers here

are new

Clamp shut

those eyes

With arms

spread wide

The Absolute

Waits

in you
