Embodying the Light

“Truth lies within oneself and not outside.” the author.

                                         Embodying the Light

                           Truth lies within oneself and not outside,
                              Embodying the light that is sublime
                           And in one`s life ever serves as a guide,
                               As a particle of light that`s divine.

                            Eternal truth needs first to be imbibed,
                                Possibly under masterly guidance
                               Before it`s internally circumscribed
                         And ushers in one`s life shine of brilliance;

                           Resting on the inner crest of the bones,
                              Truth waits for stage of assimilation
                               In the corridors of the brainy zone
                                Afore it dispels glooms of illusion.

                               Once internalised by the inner self
                         The glow of truth brightens day after day
                             With deep meditation within oneself
                      And steers one`s path along the proper way;

                Such truth transcends the bounds of space and time
                     Redounds on those who come within its view
                   Spreads afar the the blessings of its bright shine
                           And for ever and ever sounds as new;

                        Like a bacon light that guides ships ashore,
                          Truth drives men to their rightful destiny
                            And leads them the inner self to adore
                                   Until the dead end of eternity.
