I have written around 100 poems about you

Yet I fail to understand what is true

Truth does not seem as simple as is portrayed

Reality is far more complex than is displayed

I do know that you are the best religion

But I can't prove on the basis of reason

Your veracity can only be gauged through experience

Why does the world demand rational evidence?

Science is too shallow to fathom your multi-dimensional nature

Philosophy can't satisfy the knowledge-seekers of high stature

Perhaps, only Mysticism quenches the human thirst

No wonder, it reaches the destination first

It frees man from the choking and deceptive web of logic

Too much indulgence of which only turns the soul sick

It demands too much humility

rather than mental ability

The one who doesn't go after proof

eventually hits the sky's roof

Faith and belief aren't everyone's ball-game

To the intellect, they may appear lame

Beware of West's infatuation with the mind

An untainted heart, they can't find

Till today, the phenomena of consciousness perplexes them

Because they consider brain as the root rather than stem

It is pure love that is the real master

or the spiritual journey is a disaster!
