Echoes of Stillness

By Ekta Jasan

Do you know the death of consciousness? Can you recognize the stillness in your rooms? Do you understand the bond between your home's walls and your stories? Do you mourn the stillness that follows a person’s departure? Can you sense the stammer of voices burdened by the heart? Do you know the wandering ascetic in search of the soul? Do you grasp the Buddha’s silence and Gandhari’s vow? Can you see the tattered form of a madman? Do you perceive the ocean within the mind? Can you savor the tranquil moments of dreams? Do you recognize the deceit of a beloved? Are you aware of how life is wasted in illusion? Do you see a face like Ram’s here? Can you understand how truth hides in darkness?
