Wisdom
Within the clasping orbit of the craving life
I gravitate toward the self-seeking centre,
get sucked into the black hole of ego,
the survival struggle consumes me.
In the anchorless drift of the mundane mind,
detached from the principled roots
by the dislodging drive of sequential desire,
untamed instincts envelope my senses.
As the needle of ethical compass breaks,
the vortex of emotions drags my mind
into the transient tide of the changing times,
the inner voice of conscience echoes.
Beneath the surface of mortal perception,
my mind builds the sensual images
with the contours of new insight,
on the fleeting canvas of awareness.
Rising from the dismal abyss of agony,
I see the light of wisdom illumine the soul,
attain the sublime state of consciousness,
discern instantly the divine harmony.
I abandon the ego trapped in the psychic web,
strive to evaluate the meaning of existence
in the scale of soul’s quotient of spiritual wisdom,
the portal then opens to the sanctum of profound bliss.
