Questions

What are my words today?
Are they but changing clouds
Which cover the infinite circle
Of the sun, my soul?
What are my feelings today?
Are they merely dyes
Poured into a glass of crystal clear water?
And if I could dispel
All words, all thoughts, all feelings and desires
What would be left of me?
Would I find that I myself
Am that all-pervading, supremely shining
Sea of mystical delight?
Ah, so beautiful is the spiritual life!
It is not vain, delusive, or self-corrupting
How is it that I've wasted so much time
On the baubles of this fleeting world?

Questions was published in Soul Culture, in the summer of 1994. And so I dedicate it to Swami Hariharananda, my Guru at the time.
