Every time I feel useless <br />Or life is purposeless <br />Should think that it is an invite <br />To meditate, try Nirvana. <br /> <br />Turn inward, practise be detached, <br />Realize how senses are outward-oriented, <br />By reversing them, hollow bamboo-like, <br />I should put back something into life. <br /> <br />On inner journey <br />I close eyes, let go; <br />See inside what is at the centre: <br />Nothing, neti neti – the Self. <br /> <br />When it is really nothing, reaching there <br />With no effort, unmixed with thought, <br />I soak in bliss and compassion, <br />Merged into Everything Outside.<br /><br />Daniel Trevelyn Joseph<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/modern-religion/
