Enlightenment Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In this classroom of life
The teacher is the Silence within
The lesson is Nothingness
The classroom is Emptiness
This is the school of Enlightenment
The objective of the lesson is to be empty
To unload all your fears, worries and troubles
To put aside all your joy and sorrow
To hold only to the fabric of being
And dissolve into the vastness of eternity
Don't impair yourself with thoughts
Or any superficial emotions
Just submerge yourself into the wilderness of nothingness
Until every fiber of your being has been melted into particles of freedom
Don't celebrate yet
Freedom is part of the enlightenment process
Just stay submerged for a little while
Peace will emerge from the depth of your being
You have now entered the path of Light
It is here where you will be unrobed of your ego
Only your naked spirit is allowed further
Into the realm of Light
The dimensionless realm is the place of enlightenment
It is a vast ocean of Light that is beyond comprehension
You are now submerged in the perfect existence
Your existence is a particle of Light
Your life is a molecule of Nothingness
It is the clarity of consciousness (wisdom) that exists here
Awareness is the only knowledge
Unconditional Love is the everlasting life
This is the abode of God
Soon you will wake up from your dream
It is not madness
It is the way of Silence
A beautiful existence
