Poem
To those people who spend most of their life surrounded with worldliness its cares and strife this piece is dedicated it is my duty to convey without any effort not to I'd be left in dismay. One should always let know and be willing to confide through terms of endearment how to get to the other side. The world is full of confusion, contradictions and the like it's only through the midst of this chaos homeward we hike. Home is that place from where we started our journey, have become estranged by allurements and attachment to the sense objects, our mind is deranged. Forced into seduction and by ignorance we ride the crest-wave of illusion away from the other side; while entertaining and playing host to all those desires, trying to appease an insatiable horde we burn in its fires. Seldom do we get an inkling of how far we have gone away from that place in which the light shone; our ineffable home too bright for the eyes do hide bewildering, incomprehensible, beyond, just on the other side. The mind always reflects that with which it is absorbed in, a double sided transparent mirror through which the soul goes peering. The soul is infinite in innumerable ways and sets up its own barriers without limit or cost, intent on finding, due to forgetfulness, that which it appears as to have lost. Then proceeds experiencing a finite life in an infinite way through its own misguided power does this creation hold sway..... Only after gathering enough data does it ever decide that it has forsaken its real nature back on the other side. By ignoring the advice of the guiding voice from within, coming from a higher source, in ignorance do we swim. When each of us has reached an all time low or when fate delivers us a gracious blow, we start thinking about our current situation and try to make amends with much expectation. Alleviating the disgrace which upon our soul is a burden, retracing our steps back towards harmony and freedom and so live a life of good works pleasing the Eternal Witness satisfying our highest conscience the inner voice of stillness. With each progressive step forward in the right direction we take an ever increasing joy and peace in our mind and heart we make. Helping all those who come across our path to be confident in themselves and just a little more free; to achieve whatever they cherish or happen to bide while we continue our journey toward the other side. By observing a steady discipline daily we find most things can be accomplished dear in mind. We can't easily get to the other side with a heavy load as there already are many unseen obstacles on that road. We all have each somehow to travel different distances depending where we start from in current circumstances. So let's make haste and all acknowledge our aim that whether we like it or not our goal is the same. There are many of us here having to play a unique part when considering others' welfare show a little more heart. In matters of relationship we should never try and hide that which to our advantage helps us get to the other side. Yet when we give with all our heart its from the other side without any selfish motives or thoughts of gain to hide we gradually reveal our real nature and true guide which is realized unmistakably as being the other side. _________________________________
