Accept deluding outer and transcend: A poem


Accept deluding  outer and transcend: A Jainism-Inspired poem

In Jainism, "acceptance" encompasses two primary concepts, namely Anumodana (joyful approval of the world of diversity and delusion) and Anekantavada (the philosophical acceptance of multiple perspectives). Rather than a strict precept of command and prescription, it is practiced as a spiritual tool for acquiring merit of inner peace and resolving dogmatic conflicts.


INSPIRED POEM


The world outside, a deluding, transient thing,
It will not bend to wishes whispered low.
No matter how your weary spirit sings,
Its paths are set, its currents strongly flow.

To fight its form, a battle lost before,
A weary war that drains the very soul.
But to accept it, open up the door,
To see it plain, and make your spirit whole.

The victim's role begins to fade and cease,
The seeker's gaze now scans the present scene.
A quiet calm, a growing inner peace,
As reactive storms no longer intervene.

Your self, unbound, in newfound wisdom grown,
Observes the world, and makes the truth its own.
