The Mind & Wisdom

Salam Kasih

Dear brothers & Sisters


When words try to approach God,

They are forced to turn back

Human thought can never reach God

Yet human beings can know the bliss of God,

And thereby be freed from all fear.


The mind is like a body

Thought is its skin

Faith its head

Righteousness its rigt arm

And truth its left

The practise of meditation is its heart

And discernment its feet.


Wisdom is like a body,

Contained within the mind

Bliss is its skin

Joy its head

Contentment its right arm

And delight its left

Selfless service is its heart

And spiritual understanding its feet.


Even the angels seek wisdom

Human beings can attain perfect wisdom

And thereby be free from all sin.
