Who Am I

WHO AM I? The question, the fundamental question Needs to be addressed and answer known By one and all to be at peace with oneself To be freed from the diktat of the opposites. Ages past mankind has strived to solve This mighty mysterious puzzle of life Few have delved deep in it, immersed Fewer still have unraveled the enigma. It has to be tackled as no one can get away Sooner the better to be out of the vile route But the path is arduous, so says the guide Traverse one has to all by himself to lead. What is my identity; what is the aspiration Where from I come and what for am I here Where shall I go henceforth, wrap the riddle This makes it in fact unfathomable indeed. When I am in waking state I relate myself With the world outside and when dreaming With the sub conscious and in deep sleep I revel in void of bliss, packed in ignorance. The wise who see it, say it as a great wonder The others praise it as a magnificent marvel Yet others who hear about it as a royal secret Alas! But none understand it as their being.
