Seeing more by Closing Eyes
The bright light that blinds me
After I close the eyes
To read the books without alphabets
The books
That Buddha read under the Bodhi tree
The book
That Mohamed read inside the cave
The book
Jesus read in his solitude in the desert
And Rumi read to be filled with love
To infuse them
To infuse us
With the knowledge and wisdom.
In the remote corner of the Himalayas
They sit closing their eyes
Day after day
To drink the elixir of knowledge
Day by day
While I try to look out
Try to seek out
Derive knowledge from outside
Reading books, magazines and visiting
Libraries of brick and mortar
As well as virtual ones.
What do they get
Reading books without words
Without light and without prerequisites
What do I get by deciphering the cells
The mind and the culture
What is the goal of knowledge any way?
