WILL YOU EVER KNOW ME ?
A smile! A sneer!
You greet me!
Yet dear friend
Will you ever know me?
My look, my words
The color of my skin
My class; my company
My wealth; my wisdom
All of these, are but mere a camouflage!
If you can see the world with my
eyes
Feel it, with my consciousness
Live with me, this ephemeral
experience of so called life
Even then, dear friend
Will you ever know me!
Down the street! Eyes meeting in
a judging glance
You may smile! You may sneer
But Oh! Blessed friend!
Will you ever know me!

TRUTH IS A PATHLESS LAND
Empty spaces or dunes of sand
The Truth is always a path less land
No creed can capture it
No thought can define it
No belief can cushion it
No mind can fathom it
It’s beyond reach and beyond comprehension
It’s beyond the limits of self perception
It’s too unlimited to be limited
Too undivided to be divided
It has more than one form; and more than one face
It is always relative; yet beyond phase space
Except for constant dependant origination
There is no permanent destination
No empty spaces; nor desert sands
For truth is always a pathless land

SELF-LESS SCIENCE
The only tool; the only hope
Thus is the way of science
Creeping and crawling, testing and disproving
Dropping erroneous world views, for novel hypothesis
Thus is the way of science
But starting from that which is known
How can one see, the blinded unknown
For no light can reach its shadow
And no eye can see the sound
How can a rigid theory bend the nebulous reality?
Hence, no science can lead beyond a proof
For, what stars can you see through a tin roof?
To know the unknown, one had to shed
All the knowledge that one has held
So break the roof and see the sky
See the world with a flexible eye
Hence, no theory can you justify; for all proof is but a rational lie
And your pet theory may not be, so close to truth as you do see
For Beyond the fields of known and the valleys of known unknowns
There is the darkest chasm of the unknown unknowns
No light can reach it and no mind can fathom it
No knowledge can pierce it and no hand can grasp it
No knowledge can pierce it and no hand can grasp it
So do be humble in your quest
Loose you ego and test your guess
Test it till you yield your best
Test it till you falsify; not merely justify
Flexible theories and self less investigation
Shedding urges to rationalizing justification
Science truly is vigorous falsification
Thus is the way of science, disprove it if you can
From stars and skies, to testing and disproving
Truth lurks near vigorous falsification
Thus is the way of science; disprove it if you can
