ignorance

i know 'I' dies with my body, yet i am egoistic
i know beauty lies withing, yet i look for beauty in the prishable
i know that i will take nothing when i leave, yet i possess
i know needs are all i need, yet i want
i know loved ones will leave me one day, yet i fear
i know true love is unconditional, yet i expect claiming true love
i know love cures everything, yet i hate
i know i will leave some day, yet i fight for life
i know that i know, yet i remain ignorant. why?

thats the power of the illusion. and many of us get overpowered, even blinded by it. there are yet others, who know, yet choose to be so - like they say, ignorance is bliss. do you know, even duryodhana had recognized this problem in himself. i say even, because he was a very learned man.

beautiful!!

i know that i know, yet i remain ignorant. why?

i know that i have to, yet i don't
i know that i cannot, yet i want to

We'll keep searching for the answers...but as the wise men said, it's the journey, not the destination!

i guess for me the mystery of this whole 'happiness' / 'peace' / whatever that higher thing is very appealing

Kaushik:
