I did not seek, and so I found; I travelled rooted to the ground. Words that in jest I uttered here Were wisdom in the heavenly sphere.
The Secret of the Universe, Disputed oft in prose and verse, I never bothered much about - And that was how I found it out.
All men's questions and replies Are sometimes foolish, sometimes wise. I never asked or answered aught - And that way I both learned and taught.
If you wish to learn of me Forget all this immediately; Forget there's such a thing to do - And then perchance I'll wink at you.
From the unlocked cage of my heart White doves of love go winging, Wild larks of song rise singing, The ice of my heart is broken, broken, Joy's fountain leaps in the air; And all the while no word was spoken: I only looked at something fair.
Sangharakshita 1946
