“better a rebel, a nerd, than a blind follower of the herd”
_____________________________________________
Buddha urged to illuminate darkness
Set forth towards the closest habitation
His countenance aglow with luminescence
Was asked by a passerby cause of his elation
Buddha replied that he was the one, the Arahant
Light that lights all lights, eternal God essence
Master of elements, glory of enlightenment
His aura bestowing soul transcendence
Buddha’s affirmation fell on deaf ears
No one grasped his words seemingly vain
Earth bound weary souls caged in myriad fears
Try as they might, exalted wisdom could not ingrain
Thus came about the need for wisdom intermediate
The four noble truths in easy symbolic language
Eight fold path being way to heavens gate
Simplified teaching became a rage
Narrow mind oriented to resist
Accepts not authenticity of oneness
Unaccustomed to light, our delusion persists
Feeding ego cravings in delusion of separateness
Most religions therefore opt to contour the ultimate truth
Subtly hinting towards the single underlying reality
Knowing we may not embrace God forsooth
Urging practices to infuse in heart purity
Spirituality on the other hand is direct
Unfettered by ritual, custom or blind belief
Head and heart with love aligned, stance erect
Directly imbibed wisdom gives soul permanent relief
