ADVAITA VEDANTA

In the golden lamp of wisdom’s shining light,
The oil of worldly indifference fills the wick
Of Faith. So kindle Self Knowledge in clear sight,
And fill one’s soul with wonder to the very quick.

Then the darkness of delusion will be dispelled,
Almighty Self becomes manifest and unveiled
As One without a second, to be always held
Aloft, as the sole Truth revealed and ever hailed.

Determined pilgrim must ignite some red hot fire,
To light his pyre, to burn those latent clouds of gloom,
Which hide his bright Awareness which will inspire
The path to eternal life, and avert this worldly tomb.
