This poem showcases the beautiful side of life.
Poem: This reality
This reality is not a construction of the mind
The tenets of logic are not enough
To address the needs of humanity
The laboratory of science and technology
Cannot afford the steep price of human consciousness
There is no experimentation
That can excavate the source of happiness or Love
Not even the matrix of artificial intelligence
Can come closer to addressing the cause of hopelessness
This reality is not born out of political and economic ideologies
Or religious doctrine
This reality is born out of nothingness (spirituality)
Unless you go back to your being
And empty yourself
You will always struggle
To find the central point of your existence
You will be full of fear, hopelessness and uncertainties
You will find solace in the fabric of materialism
Just for a little while
And then you will wallow in despair
Unable to uproot yourself
From the source of your pain, hopelessness and uncertainties
You will find yourself
Staring at large numbers (data) or empty skies
Fully depressed
It’s the wrong mirror
Learn to undress yourself (ego) first
And empty your body, mind and soul
Of all the fear, hopelessness and uncertainty
It’s through faith, hope and love
That you will find your true self
The purpose of life is not to enrich yourself
Or outcompete each other
On the race track of life
The purpose of life is to remain pure
Regardless of temptations, knowledge and achievements
To hold onto your nothingness
Regardless of identities, attachments and achievements
To get rid of any expectations
And embrace unconditional Love
This reality is a spiritual phenomenon
The physical element is a tiny portion
The entire edifice of our being
Is submerged in nothingness
Unless you close your eyes
And awaken your spirit
You will always find solace in the fabric of materialism
Look within
There is no ending to the abundance of the spirit
Your limitations are artificial and superficial
Your spirit is everlasting
Your destiny is Unconditional Love
No amount of time, space and knowledge
Can teach you the Truth
Only your true self
God is Love
