THE WISDOM-FIRE -- Sri Swami Sivananda

[Guest guest]

This tree of Samsara has been destroyed

To its very root by the wisdom fire.

I felt the hidden pulse of the vast Unseen.

I dived in the infinite sea of the Unknown.

I have cut asunder the tangled web of life.

I emerged from the snare of Maya, mind and senses.

I have developed the matchless Jnana vision.

In the Absolute there is neither 'was', nor 'is', nor 'will be';

But there is the throbbing of the one voice of Eternity.

I have banished all differentiation of 'I', 'thou', 'he'.

It is all now a homogeneous Wisdom Essence.
