The lakes and ponds of our consciousness
Run deep as wells beneath our souls
Forming the Spiritual rivers and streams
Which flowing endlessly
Empty into the fathomless
Eternal Ocean
Once the knock upon the Inner-mind
has been answered
And the door of the Soul is opened
Spiritual-eyes never Truly fall asleep
(even though some may chose to evade it)
For those who chose to evade this reality:
It is like one who is possessed of sight
trying to ignore the vision in the organ of eye
Rather, this vision of the Inner-Self is
like unto the blind one who sees with the
perception of inward-sight but who has no
physical outward vision
For when one sense is subdued
The prevailing gifts of others grow keen.
— Jamal Ahmad Abdul-Karim
