I had failed in school;
confused between
right and wrong,
to be or not to be.
Trying to discover Truth—
the right path—
I searched through books,
where words sounded profound
but often rang hollow.
I remained entangled
until Amma
shook me out of it, saying:
Failure in life
may not be a prerequisite,
but can be
a stepping stone to success.
So, if you fall,
do not leave the field.
Rise. Walk.
Years later,
Kabir echoed:
Do not flee the world.
Enter the arena.
Face your senses.
Know your self.
Then I understood—
the world
does not bind us;
our clinging does.
Live fully,
until the little I
dissolves—
the seeker,
the sought,
the seeking.
