TRUE WISDOM

*Coins in the hand
Can be stolen,
But who can rob this body
Of its own treasure?

The last thread of clothing
Can be stripped away,
But who can peel off emptiness,
That nakedness covering all?

Fools, while I dress
In the jasmine lord’s morning light,
I can not be ashamed-
What would you have me hide under silk
And the glitter of jewels?

-Akka mahadevi.

**Death is a dialogue between
The spirit and the dust.
“Dissolve”, says death.the spirit, “sir,
I have another trust”.

Death doubts it, argues from the ground.
The spirit turns away,
Just laying off, for evidence,
An overcoat of clay.

-Emily Dickinson

These two above were written by two women mystical-poets. One is from the East (India) and another one from the West, in different periods of time. But, when it comes to the ultimate truth,time and space doesn’t matter. Both of them are almost alike in their vision.

*Money can be robbed, the body can be clothed and it could be stripped away and what is left alone is your own emptiness, all dress, jewels, what ever you may cover on you, but what is left underneath is your own-self or your true-self? And how will you cover it with what? There is no way to cover one’s spirit.

**Death is nothing but the dialogue between your own inner-self, that is your spirit, the spirit is covered with so many layers of conditioning, the dust collects and cover the spirit, but what ever they may cover, what is left underneath is the spirit. Is the spirit, which cannot be covered, it will remain ever and exist as it is forever.

The power,the money all will go away when you leave your body.what remains ever with you is the soul and the truth or knowledge .it will be yours ever, birth after death.The true wisdom one can ever own is the self-truth or the self-knowledge.everthing else will be fragile at any moment.

See the Past,in the whole of Human Race, How many came and left ?. Think of the kings who were rulled, Just recall their power and wealth. where are they ?, where it is gone ? They all Gone to the same Dust.Think deeply just before ,while you about to use your power and accumulate things which is unnecessary.Have Less and Give More.Soon or Later you will find your True Meaning when you are here in this Earth.
