What do you see?



You see a magnificent tree,
But, do you recognize-
 the sun, the rain, the earth
and all the elements attributing 
to its magnificence?


You see someone’s success,
But, do you recognize-
 the tears and sweats
behind its shine and glamour?


You see her beauty 
with your physical eyes,
But, do you recognize-
 her spirit with your inner eyes?


You see the delusions 
in your dreams,
But, do you recognize-
 the delusions in your waking life?...


When I look at you,
Am I looking at-
 a 'shell' housing a beautiful soul?
Or a beautiful shell -
housing an empty soul?


When I speak to you,
Am I speaking to-
the ego self of yours?
Or the authentic self of yours?



When I meet you,
Are we meeting-
in the space of minds?
in the depth of souls?
Or just in the surface of bodies?
……
