WHY TO TALK ABOUT THEM, EITHER DENYING OR PRAISING

“Master,
Mohammed, Moses, Jesus,
Buddha and any other…..

What role they have in
Making one know and reach
The truth and the ultimate?”

“Nothing,
And no role.

“To reach and know the truth,
One has to walk by his own,
Taste by his own
And break the shell himself.

“Master,
Then, what do they stand for?”

“Only as the possibilities or models
Among other millions of
Possibilities and models,
Including him and you.

“For the people to look at those names,
Or at those phenomenon,
As at some pieces in showcase,
Or fruits in paints.

They won’t and can’t
Buy and taste those names
Or their talk in real”

“Master
If so, why do you have to refer
And talk about those names,
Either denying or praising or interpreting,
To talk your truth?”

“To reach the common men,
Or to let the common men get out
And reach us.

“To break
The layers those names have set,
Or the common men have set
In or by those names,
For them to get a place to hide.

“So, are the denials or praising for.

“To enable them
Meet themselves,
And each other and us.

“Or to enable them to see those names
As their possibilities,
Instilling in them the knowledge that
Those names can also mislead them,
If not taken only as some of the possibilities,

“Or to tell them that they can’t be on their own foot
Just because they are with or on those names.

*********************

“Or else, no one can get them out
Unless he praises those names, for them,
Or denies those names, for them, convincingly,

***************

“Never is it because,
One has to talk about and touch
Mohammed, Moses, Buddha, Jesus and any others
To talk about the truth,
Or of attainment of truth and ultimate.

“But, it is just because one can’t be
Opened and convinced otherwise….

*************

“Just it is:
Either to empty
Or strengthen
One as a bottle.

“To let one hold
What he really wants to hold in

“Or to fill in
What one really wants to fill in.

“In, from and other than from the names of
Mohammed, Moses, Buddha, Jesus and any others…”
