ONE-NESS OF TWO-NESS

 

Who knew that

Touched has untouched

Seen has invisible

Heard has unheard

In it….

 

Who knew that

Small has whole

Whole has small

White has vbgiyor

In it….

 

Who knew that

Love has hate

Dear has enemy

Near has far

In it…

 

Who knew that

Godliness had devilishness

Knowledge had ignorance

Beauty had ugliness

In it…

 

Only you…my saint

The wise of all mortals

Who knew.

The Advaita..

Unity of diversity

Diversity of unity.

Quite amazing and some good questions you've pinpointed here, the opposite of everything nice could perhaps be something different and even evil or bad. Excellent write:)

Hmm, the perspective is quite amusing. It's filled with a lot of ironies and yet surprisingly, they make sense. It speaks so much of how this world is both unified and divided. Even so, I think a few lines don't make sense. Like "touched has untouched". Also I think it'll sound better if you change "devilishness" into "evil".

Keep Writing. ^___^

Dear JENY,

A very nice poem summarizing and restating the oneness of all things found in the Upanashads, Bhagavad Gita and the Brahma Sutras, i.e., the basic writings of Advaita Vedānta. My only question is who are you refering to in the last stanza as "my saint"? Is it Adi Shankara or perhaps Gaudapada? Or are you going back to some figure in the Upanashads themselves?

Best regards,

Rick

I like this poem. The movement of your words and story was very good. The ending was perfect. In the end diversity of people must do the right things. A lot of people are trying. Difficult to stop a government running downhill. Can be done. Next election. A excellent poem. Thank you.
