Spiritual Wisdom

From the obscure fossilized time of the yonder past, 
humans traversed evolution’s ordained trajectory,
ascended to the high peak of incisive intelligence,
and emerged as the most perceptive living species.

Insecure in the collapsing orbit of the consumed life,
I gravitate toward the innate center of sensuous self, 
get sucked into the black hole of the resolute ego, 
the survival instinct yields to the power of intellect.

When in agonized life the dreams drown in dark abyss,
I search for the light of wisdom illumining my soul,
attain the sublime state of devout consciousness,
discern the divine harmony with the supreme melody.

I abandon the ego entangled in the complex equation
of existence to understand the meaning of life
in the scale of soul’s quotient of spiritual wisdom,
then the portal opens to the sanctum of profound bliss.
