Why waste time on reflections of shadows

Why invent things in your mind because of fear?
When the truth can be your best teacher and ally...

Why hide your intention from others?
If your intentions are pure and righteous ...

Why fear the shame of being wrong?
When it is only in trying and failing, that learning happens,
it is only the ego that fears...

Why hoard more than what we need?
When we have only so much capacity to consume...

Why yearn for so much knowledge?
When all knowledge is already there,
waiting to be unlocked by listening, reflecting and waiting...

Why waste time on reflections of shadows?
When life itself deserves your full attention... .. .

Peace,

Kirpal
