On an Inward Journey: A Poem by Lakshmi Ajoy

On an inner reconciliation with the Self,
I began this journey of exploration,
What better way to know the expanse of my mind?
Than to invoke the presence of the Self through deep penance…
I pacified the actions of my outward body,
Then patiently approached to calm the restless mind,
Exploring the Self was never too easy,
Without being able to hear the words of silence…
In the journey that seemed arduous and taxing,
I graduated with tiny baby footsteps,
What better way to explore the vast inner cosmos?
Than by managing the emotional balance of the Self…
I plunged deep into the infinite depths of the darkness,
Without the fear of being lost in the magnanimity,
For the assurance of finding the Light of Love,
Was secured through the subtle penance of my Life…
