Seek universal knowledge

A mental fog descends as ‘me’
desires to understand
what is being said.
One speaks
this one cannot hear it
because there is a desire to know.

This is not a test
an exam
where I am required to regurgitate
what another has just spoken.

Knowing is universal
not captured in this body
to be unearthed at will.
Seek not for individual understanding
which is merely reconfirming
old habits and beliefs.
Seek universal knowledge
that turns a seed into a snowdrop,
that sees the luscious strawberry
among seemingly dead leaves,
That feels the tender embrace
of the beloved
apparently far away.

Seek not life among the
dying and the dead
their season has past and is over.
Seek knowing in the vitality of spring
in hearing of words
freshly
washing the mind clean
as a mountain spring,
echoing through the heart
as a vibration of energy.

The mental fog dissipates
and clarity arises
as the light of awareness
is recognised
shining from within.
