' The Loneliness of Wisdom '...
Much has been said of the loneliness of wisdom,, and how much the Truth seeker becomes a pilgrim wandering from star to star..

Wisdom brings him nearer to life;.. closer to the heart of the world than the foolish man can ever be..

By whose alphabet the hidden becomes the manifest..
Therefore,, you have no need to look beyond yourself,
What you seek is within you,, if only you reflect..

' Untouched and Untasted '...
We usually do not look into what is really there in front of us.. We see life through a screen of thoughts and concepts,, and we mistake those mental objects for reality.. We get so caught up in this endless thought-stream that reality flows by unnoticed.. We spend our time engrossed in activity,, caught up in an eternal flight from pain and unpleasantness.. We spend our energies trying to make ourselves feel better,, trying to bury our fears.. We are endlessly seeking security.. Meanwhile,, the world of real experience flows by untouched and untasted.
