Guest guest Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 [These verses were written by Nome in July 1991, as indicated by the date on the handwritten original. Though there is no particular story behind these verses, it does offer a comment on how the Truth is truly recorded] Words record words; Thoughts record thoughts; What will record the Truth? Pictures record pictures; Images record images; What will record the Truth? The transient record the transient; The dead record the dead; What will record the Truth? Ideas record ideas; Concepts record concepts; What will record the Truth? The inanimate records the inanimate; The appearance records the appearance; What will record the Truth? Illusion records illusion; The unreal records the unreal; What will record the Truth? Misunderstanding records misunderstanding; The partial records partially; What will record the Truth? The footprints in the sand Dissolve in the next wave; What will record the Truth? The moment to be recorded Is gone before the thought to do so; What will record the Truth? The body cannot grasp it; The mind cannot think it; What will record the Truth? The heart of the yogi With direct, living experience Is the record of the Truth. The wise are That Which they have realized; They are the record of Truth. The sage who abides As timeless Being Is the Self-record of the Truth. If you wish to record the Truth, Know the Self that you are; Your blissful freedom will bear testimony. This is the record of Truth. Unutterable, it is crystal clear. Now you know: who will record the Truth --------------- Not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
