man of truth

if you are a man of truth

you will walk in the land of shadow

but not be touched by it

your eyes will be always on brahman

whether in the city or towns or 

home or out in the world 

this will be no different

whether sitting, walking, 

eating, drinking, 

speaking 

or being silent

if you are a man of truth

you will not go to the well of unrest

and be tempted there 

as desires will no longer rise to push

the soul about 

what will be your name

shiva

what will be your mark

detachment

what will be your family

none

what will be your home

absolute

what will be your joy

this moment

what will be your work

pointing the way to truth

what will be your rest

unbroken quietude

where do you reside

kevala or absolute aloneness
