APPEARANCES

Let not appearances deceive you,
They are merely shadows of a mirage
Having little to do with the heart.

Seek not wholeness outside yourself,
For it swells from one's own centre
Like the blossom from the bulb.

Struggle not against your sadness,
Its currents will carry you
To Wisdom's haven.

Seek not from another that which
Only you can give yourself.
Peace is not another's to bestow.
Each must create his own.

Contend not to comprehend.
Your mind will unveil the answer,
When you are ready.

Seek not from another
That which is not his to give.
Fulfillment is an inner knowing,
Not an outer gift.
