1Samwad: A Beginning

Would you like to take a pilgrimage to Self?

If yes, then just walk together

holding the hand of our guru — the Awareness

Throughout our journey ‘Keep in mind’

That the words ‘I,’ ‘my,’ ‘me’

represent our guru and not a person

As we begin our journey, remember

These words are not mine (the ‘person’)

but, directly from our guru

The ‘words’ are never the ‘Actual’

So Understanding is Now or Never

This ‘Samwad’ is to prepare your mind

Before we begin our journey

As we journey step by step

Search earnestly for simple Truths

In these silent words, you too can Discover

Meaning after Meaning

Like multiple reflections in two parallel mirrors

This Attempt is, to ‘Awaken’ you

And Not to Teach You

Be aware, avoid ‘Understanding’ the Word-Play

Mentally and Literally

Samwad: A Beginning1

Samwad: A Beginning

Use your own Intuitive Sense

To get More than What You Read

Be a silent observer

And observe the Phenomenal-Interplay

The Truth is then Revealed

Through inner-focus on your-self

The words are aimed to cleanse you

Of all your illusions, delusions

and psychological confusion

So be aware and face the challenge

When the words hurt or upset you

Your own wrong perception

stops you from seeing the Truth

You now ignorantly see and feel in them

Lack of Compassion

When the surgeon operates

Will you blame the surgeon

for causing you the pain?

Don’t you see his kindness

while you experience pain?

The pain of the blow is due to ignorance

How can the blows hurt

Would you like to take a pilgrimage to Self?

If yes, then just walk together

holding the hand of our guru — the Awareness

Throughout our journey ‘Keep in mind’

That the words ‘I,’ ‘my,’ ‘me’

represent our guru and not a person

As we begin our journey, remember

These words are not mine (the ‘person’)

but, directly from our guru

The ‘words’ are never the ‘Actual’

So Understanding is Now or Never

This ‘Samwad’ is to prepare your mind

Before we begin our journey

As we journey step by step

Search earnestly for simple Truths
