Wherefore the searcher today cries <br />To heaven for enlightened vision, <br />The eternal - - - 'Who am I '? <br /> <br />An obvious answer from a God's eye <br />Is that you are a survivor of course. <br />A Knower, - you are the Source. <br /> <br />You are a God without need of chariot. <br />Ride now alongside evil and good. <br />Look at their nature, stop and <br />Ponder what Socrates understood. <br /> <br />He who, impervious even to death, <br />Saw evil as nothing but betrayal <br />Of commitment to Self, in one breath <br />He knew he was Whole. <br /> <br />Inner attention, for Gods or men <br />Will always be good for the soul. <br />Find unity and you will again <br />Find the meaning of God. <br /> <br />And eventually become Unchanging, <br />Unborn, and as infinitely Wise, <br />Then you will say ' I am ' <br />You will ask not the 'Who am I'. <br /> <br />You will see and transform all the <br />'Good' into union of opposites <br />You will rise and transcend. <br /> <br />Sweeping aside chariots, you will stride <br />Into Self, and see the futility end <br />In all duality as unenlightened deception. <br /> <br />You will see Self as rightly fitting. <br />With Plato's words you will now shout <br />'The flame of eternal truth, once lit <br />Can never go out'.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gods-without-chariots/
