UPANISHADIC APHORISM

न अल्पे सुखम् अस्ति

~छांदोग्य उपनिषद

Anything that is limited is woeful

~Chandogya Upanishad

 

INSPIRED HAIKU 1

Worldly knowledge

That's limited play of words -

Alp Namaiv Etat!

***

INSPIRED HAIKU 2

Our words are finite

And, finite is false, woeful

Be not slave to words!

***

INSPIRED HAIKU 3

Awakening dawns

When mind's still and quiet – wordless -

Wowed by infinite
