मैंने विचित्र
एवं अटपटे मार्गों
द्वारा ऐसे तत्वों
की खोज की जो मुझे
परमात्मा तक पहुँचा
सके |
लेकिन
मैं जिस-जिस नये
मार्ग पर चला उन
सब मार्गों से
पता चला कि मैं
परमात्मा से दूर
चला गया | फिर मैंने बुद्धिमत्ता
एवं विद्या से
परमात्मा की खोज
की फिर भी परमात्मा
से अलग रहा | ग्रन्थालयों
एवं विद्यालयों
ने मेरे विचारों
में उल्टी गड़बड़
कर दी |
मैं
थककर बैठ गया | निस्तब्ध
हो गया | संयोगवश अपने
भीतर ही झांका, ध्यान
किया तो उस अन्तर्दृष्टि
से मुझे सर्वस्व
मिला जिसकी खोज
मैं बाहर कर रहा
था |
मेरा
आत्मस्वरूप सर्वत्र
व्याप्त हो रहा
है |
I tried different ways to attain God, but I realized that in doing so I was only drifting away from him. I tried the intellectual means and knowledge, but could not reach him. Universities and libraries only filled my intellect with thoughts converse to my pursuit. Then I abandoned all efforts and became quiet. When incidentally I delved within and meditated on my own Self. I attained through that inner vision what I had so long been seeking outside. Actually, it is my own True Self that is pervading everywhere.
