What is the most immediate problem,
That demands your attention?
What is the most acute crisis
That threatens the very peace
In your world?
What is the one thing,
That unless you meet it, clear,
Fully understand and go beyond,
Your life has very very
Little meaning, if at all?
Isn't it the ‘understanding of yourself’?
The very question,
That is presented to yourself,
And meets total unknown.
That question is the only question
Worth asking, for the -
Understanding of yourself
It can show up as:
Is there anything beyond the mind?
Or,
What is it that never ends?
Or,
What is the origin of thought?
Or,
What is the beginning of time?
Whatever it is,
It comes as a demand for air,
Nothing less!
And living with this question,
Is the purifying miracle,
Total question,
That meets total unknown
Without this, there can’t be peace
