Self knowledge

Your hearts know in silence

the secrets of the days and the nights.

But your ears thirst for the sound

of your heart's knowledge.

You would know in words

which you have always know in thought.

You would touch with your fingers

the naked body of your dreams.

And it is well you should.

Your soul must needs rise

and run murmuring to the sea;

And the treasure of your infinite depths

be revealed to your eyes.

But let there be no scales to weigh your unknown treasure;

And seek not the depths of your knowledge

with staff or sounding line.

For self is a sea boundless and measureless.

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather,

"I have found a truth."

Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."

Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."
