*WORDS OF WISDOM*

" It is true Wisdom
For the 'mind' to turn away
From outer objects and behold
Its own effulgent form.
When unceasingly the 'mind'
Scans its own form
There is nothing of the kind.
'Thoughts' alone make up the 'mind'.
What is called 'mind' is but the notion 'I'.
When one turns within and searches
Whence this 'I'-thought arises,
The shamed 'I' vanishes --
And, Wisdom's quest begins.
Where this 'I'-notion faded
Now there as "I"-"I" arises
The ONE, the very SELF,
The Infinite. "
