Why can't Each one of us Realize
Liberation, Enlightenment or God
If it is a state
of our own -- Consciousness?
All Rituals and Traditions
are not completely useless
Some have hidden precious truths
but, truth mixed with lots of Errors
and also lots of Untruth
How can that Tradition be good
If, Instead of gaining Wisdom
you end up following Untruth?
Most Rituals
and most Traditions are Infections
Passed on by previous generation
to us, and then from us to next
Don't let Rituals and Traditions
Occupy the place
Of Wisdom that's in you
Keep away from this folly
Or you may become a lost Man too
When we observe the history and life
of all the Great Masters and Teachers
We find
Rebel and Iconoclast were all of them
Each one of them broke away
from the myth and belief
That Truth can be had
from Someone-else
All dependence on another
is an obstacle and hindrance
This dependence cannot lead you
to the experience of the Independence
'This' Non-Reliance
'This' Non-Obedience
Brings Inner Freedom
And Reveals to you the Fact
The Fact that can neither
be received nor learnt
'The Words' that got transmitted
From disciple to disciple
May be Absolutely True to the 'Letter'
But how could they transmit
'the Reality' behind 'The Words'?
The Reality that exists in
the Consciousness of the Enlightened Master
As the Perfect Master conveyed
Verbally or Silently
His great message of Liberation
The Reality got Corrupted
As the Recipients Consciousness
was not in 'synch' with his Master's
As the Message moved from one to another
'The Words' remained perfect
But the Disciples could not transmit
The Reality behind 'The Words'
The Reality that Exists
in the Master's Consciousness
So what we Now Have
from the original Message
Is but a faint fragrance
of a flower that once blossomed
Each One must Walk Alone
To find his own Inner Truth
Don't try to find 'God'
For 'God' will find You
Are you still Reluctant to Accept
Though it's so easy to Grasp the fact?
Look at the Abstract Core
of true Knowledge
Does it reveal anything to you?
Understand and see the Fact
The Knowledge of Truth
is always in Present
Understand and see the Fact
The Knowledge of truth
is within man Himself
Understand and see the Fact
'The Reality' is Absolute
ever Free from any Decay
Understand and see the Fact
The Unity and Separation
are both within Man himself
Do not doubt the Abstract Core
It then creates opportunities for gaining Wisdom
But Complete Acceptance of these facts will come
When you experience them yourself
Change your focus of Awareness
So that 'Serendipity' can work
But be careful and remember
That 'words' are only Concepts
The Truth cannot be found
Simply by Understanding this Word-Play
Some like to talk, Some like to listen
But none observes one-self
One who says
"I Realize and so I will change"
Is only fooling one-self
One who says
"Now, I Understand and I will try to change"
Is also far, far away from change
One who says, "I Know"
But his Actions fail to reflect "this Knowing"
Is he not an intellectual fool
who thinks "I have changed"?
Just see the fact
Can 'thought' liberate you from 'thought'?
Shouldn't 'Action' of body, speech, and mind
Reflect your 'New Knowledge' ?
Just observe your own inner-outer 'Actions'
While being in relationship with 'this world'
If you remain Equanimous
It reveals your own true-Self
There is no other true test
of your 'Waking-Meditation'
Beware of your own stupidity
For you discard so easily
All that you do not understand
Just use your own Intuitive Sense
To get More than what you see, hear, and read
When you experience 'That'
Which no Science can explain
You will Awaken and See
That 'Knowledge of Self' can exist
Without any words or without any Thoughts
Jinendra urges and asks
Why are you so reluctant to Accept
Each one of us can Realize 'That'
which brings Liberation, Enlightenment, or God?
Realize that 'Learning' itself is not liberation
But 'understanding' and 'Knowing from experience'
what you've learned brings Liberation
Be aware and perceive rightly
Then the words come alive and become meaningful
If not, they are like writings on water
Soon to disappear into meaninglessness!!
