Though you are wise


Today peom is by Lalla, a great saint and mystic from the Kashmir province of India. She lived in the 14th Century. Her poems, formed an important part of Kashmiri language and culture and are still very much revered today.

--- Though you are wise ----

Though you are wise, be as a fool;
Though you can see, be as one blind;
Though you can hear, be as one deaf;
Patiently bear with all you meet,
and politely talk to eveyone.
This practice surely will lead you
to the realisation of the Truth.
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears - Glenn Clark
