Unseeking Seeker Poet Jueju

Wake Up Oh Pilgrim

Stupor pays a heavy cost,
for with soul awareness lost,
ignorance results in grief,
until we turn a new leaf.

Trapped outside but free within,
silence the way to begin,
whereupon ego recedes;
we follow, pulse of love leads.

Soul’s light, hitherto concealed,
is in timeless time revealed,
within our heart, where God dwells.
Hark ye not yet, bliss beat bells?

Jay Narain June 23, 2023 at 10:11 AM Great poem. Philosophy beyond my brain. I should have gone into sanyas some 20 years ago to understand this. Unseeking Seeker June 23, 2023 at 6:56 PM The truth is immediate and intimate. We only need to get out of our own way by being still, mind rested, heart aglow.

Victor Buhagiar June 23, 2023 at 12:56 AM It is God who loves us. We can never understand His mysteries. We must love Him above all. Unseeking Seeker June 23, 2023 at 6:02 AM To love God without hypocrisy, we must know in definitiveness. Otherwise God is only a mental idea, a concept. Silence and surrender alone can reveal the truth. When we see, we know, otherwise we do not.
