I know, I know this truth <br />E’er since my early youth: <br />When every mundane desire dies, <br />All fulfilled the Self does when rise, <br />Phoenix-like from ashes arise, <br />Beyond all Me’s and Mine’s and I’s. <br /> <br />The seeker in me when applies, <br />Surfaces Infinite to size, <br />And when my true desire that lies <br />Somnolent wakes, Self doth arise; <br />When attachment to my self dies, <br />Higher One in freedom doth rise. <br /> <br />I know, I’ve often heard this truth, <br />But this life is such a sweet tooth! <br />_________________________________________ <br /> -Sonnets | 06.09.07 |<br /><br />Aniruddha Pathak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-know-i-know-this-truth/
