voice is always there in the heart
Always calling you.
But you are not available
You are engaged in some mundane affairs
In some ordinary things.
Your mind is full of unnecessary rubbish
Busy without business.
So you go on missing the still small voice within.
Once the mind is silent, once thoughts disappear

I am telling you to do something
Totally different from both these extremes.
I don't want you to be a worldly man
Although I want you to be in the world.
I don't want you to go to a monastery
Although I am initiating you into a monkhood.
I am trying to give you
A very paradoxical way of life
But it is only through paradox that one grows.
Life is a dialectical process
So the more paradoxically you live
