Education

To educate is to open up

The expanse of the mind

So that for all our assumptions

The right questions we may find.

 

An education must make you

A seeker not a knower

You must be able to

Over your ignorance cross over.

 

Pride and foolishness

Often walk hand-in-hand

A true seeker knows

The grounds on which he stands.

 

That we know nothing

A good education must show

That what needs to be known

Lies beyond what we know.

 

Not just a fast-track

To worldly success

In the worst of times

It prepares you to be your best.

 

Education is design

Education is art

It’s the architecture of the mind

Built with inroads to the heart

The Guru’s Grace

The instance of dwelling

On a moment

Or on a question-

That which you know exists

But which you can’t articulate

Is not inertia

But a pause…

We pause to see…

To grasp at the substantial,

The indicative, the meaningful

The instructive.

We dwell not because we don’t want to venture

But because we want to receive

The call to do so…

Or for guidance towards a direction

It’s not our knowledge

But our perceptiveness

That opens us up to

Recourse from a truer word.
