18.32
“Hearing ultimate Truth,
the dull-witted man is bewildered
The wise man hearing Truth
retreats within and appears dull-witted”
What a pleasant surprise!
Let us assume we are wise!

Verse 18.32 revisited on 05-February-2022
When divine wisdom in heart is sown
The hermit’s words sound like a koan
People bewildered at the monk’s delight
Bliss which he says cascades day and night
Recognition that we live in the womb of God
When affirmed leaves the populace overawed
Talk of hidden conduits with this here body form
Within which pulsates magnetic bliss currents warm
Ascension through octaves of love infusing compassion
Vibrant void like joyous stance an ever present meditation
Truth of oneness when the rest feel poignant separateness
Effusive reverence when recalling being touched by God’s hand
Open secrets hidden in plain sight most people cannot understand
