Searching For The Perfect Knowledge

In my journey of life I took many steps Towards my destiny Neither did I understand Nor comprehend That life was not a race track Many pointed to the classroom Education was the key to success I found the tree of knowledge full of juicy fruits I became the crème de la crème of learning I became the torch bearer in my family I opened doors on the upper floors of education I even went to the pinnacle of learning Dissecting all the ligaments of knowing I came close to the skeletal framework of knowledge Yet I was far from the truth I could not comprehend the basics of human life I did not understand the purpose of humility Or the need for compassion I was not ready for unconditional Love Unconditional Love was not logical All love affairs were doomed from the beginning With all expectations, entanglements and attachments Life was not a platform for unconditional Love Unconditional Love was not possible What kind of knowledge was I missing? Where did I go wrong? I traced my footsteps Looked my mother in the eye Saw the shining spectacle of Love I held my breath (Wow moment) I was fed unconditional Love from my mother's heart I had all the ingredients of knowledge all along I went into the classroom of logic I saw many mathematical algorithms It was not geometry or scientific constructs That stimulated my mind It was the hope of a better future that gave me clarity It was not the elongated mathematical equations that nourished my spirit It was the silence within that held me together It was not the straight "As" that gave me peace It was the spirit within that paved my path I found the truth folded within my being I found the fibre of existence In my search for knowledge My eyes (mind) were not needed My heart was the main object of interest It was the contents of my heart that were vital In my pursuit of knowledge It was the Love within That made it possible For me to enjoy life If you are searching for the perfect knowledge Seek within first ©
