FROM ALAN JACOBS ADVAITA VEDANTA PAGE
SONNETS OF EXPERIENCE
WAKE UP FROM SLEEP
From heavenly space lightening strikes,
Its power shocks mankind with mighty force.
It's the epic emblem for Brahman of course,
To waken sleeper from dreams he dislikes,
Bathing in crass ignorance and harshest pain,
Unaware of truth and set to be born again.
From a cosmic standpoint we're all insane,
It offends the Sage's blessed no-mind brain,
To doze on this madcap lunatic planet earth,
And suffer yet another roller coaster birth.
So wake up from this nasty nightmare death,
By patiently enquiring with all of one's breath,
Posing the great koanic question 'Who Am I' ?
Praying to know one's real truth before we die.
