Enlightenment : Always Near

enlightenment is always near ,
accessible to both the saint and the sinner ,
all that is required is faith ,
faith in the words of the wise ,
who are engaged in the salvation of all ,
it's beyond dual nature of things ,
like love and hatred ,
good and evil ,
fair and unfair ,
success and failure ,
laziness and hard work ,
intelligence and non-intelligence ,
blissfulness and depression ,
and most importantly ,
soul or self and emptiness or non self ,
it's beyond words ,
it can be felt momentarily ,
before being attained permanently ,
the path need not be gruesome ,
though effort helps ,
once it is attained ,
the actions of mind and body become harmonious ,
shedding labels like responsible and callous ,
friend and foe ,
winner and loser ,
attractive and unattractive ,
strong and weak ,
brave and cowardly ,
humble and arrogant ,
bold and shy ,
dreamer and doer ,
forgetful and mindful ,
all that is required
are a few moments of reflection ,
stay there for as long as you want ,
but it will make you act ,
be independent ,
be a lover of solitude and company ,
a concerned person not a worrier ,
compassionate but not sentimental ,
detached but not indifferent ,
a human who has reached
the highest stage of evolution ,
there is nothing more to ask for.
