The Eyes Of Wisdom Poem by Pushpa Ratna Tuladhar

The Eyes Of Wisdom



In the time or
in and out of the space or
elsewhere I wandered,
I clasp myself alone,
but no perception of bliss of joy.

Many rebirths I conceded
Many samsara I roamed
I clasp myself alone,
but no perception of bliss of joy.

In the day or the light
In the night or the gloom
In and out of the universe
I explored with earnest
everywhere in the earth
but no perception of bliss of joy.

Can I retrieve it elsewhere?

While it's as the brightest
as the gleaming star
in the chaste gloominess
inside the spirit of my own mind.

Attha devo bhava*

The brilliance lies indeed
in me and mine for ever
Illuminating all the world.
My body, speech and mind
Attain the mindfulness of Nibbana
Within me and mine.
*
Samsara - the material world in which the beings live.
Attha devo bhava (pali)- I'm the master of my own.
Nibbana (pali)- Nirvana (Sanskrit) .The literal meaning of "blowing out" or "quenching". Nirvana is the ultimate spiritual goal in Buddhism and marks the soteriological release from rebirths in saṃsāra.
