A vase of neurons
Kenneth Maswabi
A vase of neurons
Human beings have conquered the
world
Even going beyond the visible realm
Into the outer reaches of space-time
Defining black holes and
extraordinary cosmic worlds
With advances in technology, humans
are now on the verge of colonizing other planets
Space tourism has already started
its operations
It is a marvel of human ingenuity
that is displayed
But what is the source of this
extraordinary dexterity?
What is a human being?
How is it possible to think outside
the box?
There is no simple answer
The substance of being is still a
mystery
The purpose of life is an enigma
inside a Pandora's box (riddle)
A vase of neurons and their branches
sit at the center of this beautiful story
The phenomenon of consciousness is
the mist in this mystery
There is no way of knowing the truth
Except we go beyond the
entanglements in our heads
And delve into the belly of the
unknown
The spiritual path is an
illumination of this mystery
A sharp knife that cuts through the
dense forest of reality
A spear that pieces the hard shell
of the metaphysical realm
A vase of neurons cannot be the
basis for these extraordinary achievements
It is the hidden object of the
spirit that contains all answers
It is the spirit within that
contains the Truth
Unless we open our hearts and go
beyond our logical boundaries
We will forever be shackled to this
state of confusion
We will never know our true self
