Discovery of Truth
Sandip Saha
I sat in meditation
closed my eyes
controlled my breath
still I could see
through my mind
as stray thoughts
were passing through
gradually they subsided
restless mind became calm
like a lake or an earthen lamp
in absence of any breeze.
In that lake truths started reflecting
I found my body as if a solid mass
my true Self came out of it
and got mixed up with eternal existence
homogeneous monolithic oneness
where my body appeared like a dry leaf
floating like a bubble in water
disappearing in the black hole of time.
I firmly believe now that
it is futile to run for anything
however attractive and precious
it may be like gold to human
I do not need them
as all of them has life span like the bubble
that ruptures in no time and gets lost forever.
