I am trying to forget
What all ‘I’ studiously learnt
All these years of my life.
They obstruct my vision of God.
And mix up non-essentials with essentials.
Hard core trifles are pushed forward

Blurring and confusing the Reality
And imposing a burden on the heart
Crushing its delicate ingredients
Of love, compassion and purity–
Once considered a rich acquisition
Learning becomes a stumbling block
As one reaches the stage of maturity
Judicious forgetfulness is the master’s prescription.
