Is life a supreme puzzle?

Is it an unsolved riddle?

Is it really a gift from God

or a test that cuts like a sword?

Is it actually the conquest of evil

or virtue's manifestation in few people?

Is it the nurture of intellect in minds

or disclosure of emotions of all kinds?

Is it the drama that is simply too real

or the gradual opening of fate's seal?

Is it as organized as empirical Science

or a random set of events with no signs?

Is it mere occurrence of tragedies for the pure?

Does it have an equalizer after its tenure?

Isn't throughout history havoc been played?

Is it worth the price that was paid?

Is it only an opportunity for our talents' display

Or a chance to perform deeds that won't go away?

Is world peace only a utopian idea of the naive?

Hasn't this planet been chaotic since Adam & Eve?

Awful is the record of human nature

Is man the most superior creature?

Does religion unveil the mystery

or only plant a rootless tree?

Neither books nor experience gives answers

Knowledge is built on weak pillars

Mystics say that without a clean soul

Thought is deprived of the right role

Uncertainties diminish in the self's mirror

When man goes beyond philosophy's border

When he drowns in the divine love's ocean

When he tastes flavors unknown to reason

However, man cannot understand this

without being in that state's bliss

For most, this discourse makes no sense

But the reward of surrender is immense

I am myself stuck in that zone

where vanity isn't yet blown

Maybe I will never attain that spiritual level

where hearts aren't corrupted by the devil

But I will always acknowledge my insignificance

infront of those who have gone the distance!
