YOU - A poem by Swami Ganeshaswarupananda

Swami Ganeshaswarupananda

Point out to me, what’s the point?

The point is, there IS no point.

And no line, no area, nor volume.

Everything comes from absence

Of dimension. Doesn’t make sense,

Is the world “nothing” in costume?

Now, wait a minute. What now?

There is no Now. Hey, Wow!

And no minute, hour, day or year

There is no ‘when’

Nor now and, then.

No past long gone, or future near?

What? No ‘where’, no ‘when’

Who, who am I, then?

And where am I, in this AD.

I feel solid -- to touch, to taste

I exist, I am not waste,

Now sad, now happy, now greedy.

Solid is but form in the world

What is name, is but a word.

There is only one thing true

All else is dependent,

Like a gold chain or pendant.

True is only one -- that is YOU.
