Ulladu Narpadu Addendum 33

“The mind knows many things and heart only one ~
Come home oh dear child and shine like yonder sun”
            ~ quote by poet


Gathering knowledge, small pebbles on a beach,
a pastime, the child in us has engaged in
but what have we garnered and what can we teach,
if we have seen not our true being within?
By knowing the Self, everything else is known,
to which end, our ego we must first disown,
silencing the mind, wherefrom thought forms arise
that we imbibe bliss mists in childlike surprise.
