Inward Flowering



Inward Flowering


We all are tied up with a number of relationships
And every relationship is fragile; as fragile as the thought of love
But, love you will, when you are unconditioned
For, a conditioned thought or a thought itself is divisive,
Bringing about fragmentation!

Let us, therefore, try to keep our thoughts limited
For, our memories are limited and so is time!
Or, should we try for absence of a thought itself?
For beauty is when thought is absent
And being in love is seeing something beautiful;
That too without me!

But, this again is a conditioning!
So, let it be there with just the right kind of pressure
Lest, it may stop our inward flowering

Inward flowering, the only way of ultimate enlightenment!
