Spiritual precept of void: Haiku


The precept of 'void' is found in Vedic scriptures, Buddhism and Jainism in the form of emptiness,  nothingness, no-self ((anatta), zero (Shunyata) to emphasise freedom from attachment, egolessness and let-go.

 HAIKU ON VOID PRECEPT

All are born from void -
Nothingness is reality -
All merge into void
***
Life's transient thing
To realise our void-essence -
Be egoless - Void
***
Timeless void is cause
Of our arising and ceasing
From void 'n back to void
***
Nothing is certain
And nothing is permanent 
Body, mind and soul
***
We are nothing - void -
Trying to become something
Be nothing - Zero
***
Practice compassion
Equanimity and flow
To realise Void-Truth
