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 

lost to sea..

now speak love,

what is there to say when all has been taken

of your world 

that you thought to be true

nothing can be said 

and there is nothing that can be found 

that is separate and distinct

now what is there that you so wanted to know

has it been lost to this sea

that rushed in to your heart and filled it so

as to make you forget
who you were before....

yes to be sure

this is how it is

a fresh mind has no relation to that dream

in which you played as a such and such

there is no dream here 

or a dreamer

all has been lost to this sea
