Knowing beyond the known

"Knowledge of Self is knowledge as Self"

Atmananda Krishna Menon

 

 

To be clear

 

only knowing must be here

 

Silence sings away all that cannot stay

 

The boundless            Heart             of being

 

 Self-knowing in the freedom from the known

 

 Knowing    timelessly    glowing 

 

neither old nor new

 

but fresh as

 

the morning dew

The ultimate truth of "self" can not be studied, observed or explored....it is a fluidity that can not be measured in those terms. It should not be confused with ego. "Self" and "ego" are not the same things.

As with all your writings you share--
Much enjoyed.

I’m so curious. Do your poems come to you like this or do you shape them after they come to you?
