AN UPINISHADIC APHORISM ON FINITE AND INSPIRED COUPLETS AND HAIKU


 UPINISHADIC APHORISM
न अल्पे सुखम् अस्ति 
~छांदोग्य उपनिषद
Anything that is limited is woeful
~Chandogya Upanishad

THREE COUPLETS
The world's wisdom, a narrow, confined stage,
Our words, but a flicker, a fleeting page.

Don't be bound by what you hear and say,
True knowing blooms when thoughts drift away.

When silence reigns, a wonder takes its hold,
Before the boundless, stories yet untold.

THREE HAUKU
Worldly knowledge 
That's limited play of words -
Alp Namaiv Etat!

Our words are finite
And, finite is false, woeful
Be not slave to words!

Awakening dawns
When mind's still and quiet – wordless -
Wowed by infinite
