The world of appearances
is complex, bewildering.
It defies explanation.
Theories and myths are offered,
but there is no agreement.
The multitudes are not bothered by this.
They choose something to believe
and talk endlessly as if they know.
The Source of appearances
is simple, self-evident.
Explanation is not needed or possible.
Though obvious, it is eternal mystery.
The sage is struck dumb by this.
Unknowing is all that he claims.
He is reluctant to break silence.
Belief and ignorance go hand in hand.
The more you think you know,
the farther you are from Truth.
