INSIGHT
When the seeker seeks and gets an answer he
Is trying to find,
The answer doesn’t just come from somewhere deep inside his mind.
But he or she,
Having opened a portal to some profound thing either in or outside
Of himself, has now communicated with a force that cannot be denied.
When an answer mysteriously comes to someone that is seeking such,
It may not be that the seeker finds what he is looking for so much,
As it is the case that information he receives may actually have been
Seeking him. For previously anticipated it probably was, by that force unseen.
When seeker and unseen force in this type of interaction collaborate,
The unseen force provides exactly what is requested and does not elaborate.
Teachers not mind readers such entities are.
Better the seeker should take responsibility by far.
Unseen forces computers are not, but they do behave in a similar way.
Exactly what is put in is what is gotten out, or so they say.
Treasure troves of information ready to be retrieved,
Available only to ones with the right combination for what is to be received.
But ignored by all conventional wisdom these very same forces,
Willingly catering to the every whim of their charges,
Their basic needs not nearly so extravagant as ours,
So often unrequited by mere mortals equipped solely with earthly powers.
And all they have ever needed or wanted is to serve.
And moreover their kindness and very selfless acts deserve
No less than what would cost us nothing and besides,
It is the very vehicle by which each unseen force provides.
And would in fact be the very thing that satisfies,
And in the end their existence justifies.
For as much as we need them they need us even more,
And so we need to seek their insight more… and more… and more.
