One Thought (3/9)

That this perishable body
Is evanascent, you saw.
But is not the Loving Grace enduring?

But you did not learn to possess it permanent.
They why did you learn at all?
All that you learnt is folly
All that you learnt is folly -
That you even then saw!

No use in words.
Seize the goal of words
And like the monkey,
Having seized it,
Cling to it tenacious
And proclaim it loud
That all may know.

Know that the Void
Without night and day
Is our place rightful.
