Jernail unveils the mystery of existence through the magic mantra. This poem has been translated into Albanian language too. A Different Truths exclusive.
I don’t know
This is the magic mantra
which set voyagers on discovery of the lands across seas
which led the Europeans to colonise the world.
If you wish to colonise the cosmos, say… ‘I don’t know’
For that is the only thing
That can be said about it
And then get after it.
Same is the case with God.
The greatest mystery.
Those who have seen Him
Turn mum.
Utter not a word.
Has anyone returned from
the mortal Odyssey
to tell
what happened and how?
Those who come back
through the mortal track
come washed in the river of forgetfulness;
their memories washed
to start afresh.
‘I don’t know’ gives us passion
to know
And also, the humility to bow
Before the Power behind the show.
