Two Conversations on Truth, with Truth.

* Farhat Rasheed - bored at lack of creative outpouring from self with lack of internet connectivity apologizes for 'bout of free verse' to self therapise. Depth must be reflected * [from http://tinyurl.com/cudcgb]

Truth: I long to be found
We: I seek you but I know not that I do
Truth: You play hide and seek with me, you are insincere.
We: I fear you.
Truth: Why fear that which will liberate your soul?
We: I fear what I do not understand.
Truth: catch twenty-two isn't it then?
We: Hmm, maybe if I look with rose tinted glasses you won't hurt me.
Truth: From pain, you shall rise to much higher spirituality, is that not you want?
We: Guess I'm a coward then.
Truth: All men are weak, and cowards until they embrace their truths.
Truth: After then, they are keepers of the gates of knowledge for others.
Truth: How can you teach if you do not learn about yourself. You must know yourself first. Know your strengths and weaknesses till you can see those of others.
We: My issues are mine, and those of others are theirs.
Truth: That is a truth. But by understanding you will bind humanity- in the truths of all.
We: Gosh, this is so much hard work.
Truth: What else is there to do in the life of this world except seek me?
We: Guess, perhaps you are right, but I'm not sure I can wrestle with you.
Truth: Be brave. The rewards are immeasurable. The lives you touch, you will change. Such power will be yours, you shall be amazed.
We: What shall I do with this power?
Truth: Humble yourself infront of your Lord. Isn't that the test of power?

Truth: I long to be found
I: I seek you and I know now where to look
Truth: You play hide and seek with me, you are insincere.
I: I fear my own mastery, and what it will mean.
Truth: Why fear that which will liberate your soul?
I: I fear I will have to pay the price of knowing.
Truth: catch twenty-two isn't it then?
I: or a 22 catch, because I am fearing what will come, if I only become more sincere.
Truth: From pain, you shall rise to much higher spirituality, is that not you want?
I: Yes it is, and I'm not a coward, but I know not where this weakness comes from.
Truth: All men are weak, and cowards until they embrace their truths.
I: Yet I am not a coward, and have already embraced my truth. What then?
Truth: After then, they are keepers of the gates of knowledge for others.
I: I am that, and yet I am a keeper of the gate of wisdom for myself. I do not hesitate sharing, but I am primarily interested in sinking into my own soul, and discovering the core of what makes ME.
Truth: How can you teach if you do not learn about yourself. You must know yourself first. Know your strengths and weaknesses till you can see those of others.
I: Yet I focus primarily on myself. Gandhi said to me that "I should be the change I wish to see in the world". I agree, and thus I follow.
Truth: That is a truth. But by understanding you will bind humanity- in the truths of all.
I: But, and this too is true, that would be such hard work!
Truth: What else is there to do in the life of this world except seek me?
I: That is right, but how do I seek me, when what I see terrifies me?
Truth: Be brave. The rewards are immeasurable. The lives you touch, you will change. Such power will be yours, you shall be amazed.
I: What will I do with power? What I do I care for it?
Truth: Humble yourself before your Lord. If you seek to learn, isn't that the test of power?
I: Is LEARNING then nothing more than TESTING?
TRUTH: Learning is teaching, and teaching is learning. There is no learning until the learning is tested. Why do you think you are tested so much?
