Poems about Confusion

Poems about Confusion

by: Sri Chinmoy

How far is confusion-night from Illumination-light ? 
It is as far as man’s doubting mind and man’s loving heart.

~

You want to escape the confusion  
That you see before you.  
I tell you, you will never be able
To escape the outer confusion  
Unless and until  
You have escaped the inner confusion.  
And the inner confusion  
Is your continuous doubt-indulgence.

~

Confusion-night boasts,    
Aspiration-day cries.
Realisation-sun destroys confusion-night
And manifests God-Height
On earth.

~

Attractions,
Repulsions
And  
Contradictions  
All live in the selfsame
Confusion-cave.

~

If you want to solve  
All the confusion-problems
Of your mind,  
Then resolve to live
Inside the illumination
Of your heart-sky.
