~Self Knowledge~

Your hearts
know in silence
the secrets
of the days
and the nights
but your ears thirst
for the sound
of your heart`s
knowledge

You would know
in words
that which you
have always known
in thought.

You would touch
with your fingers
the naked body
of your dreams

And it is well
you should

The hidden well-spring
of your Soul
must needs rise
and run murmuring
to the sea

And the treasure
of your infinite depths
would be revealed
to your eyes.

But let there be
no scales
to weigh
your unknown treasure.

And seek not
the depths
of your knowledge
with staff
or sounding line.

For self
is a sea
boundless
and
measureless.

Say not..
~I have found the truth~
but rather,
~I have found a truth~.

Say not...
~I have found
the path of the Soul~
Say rather,
~I have met the Soul
walking upon my path~

For the Soul
walks upon all paths.
The Soul walks not
upon a line,
neither does it grow
like a reed.

The Soul
unfolds itself,
like a lotus
of countless petals.
