Thinking can never be free br Stems from the conditioning deep in our minds br Cultural...Social...Literary tree br Glued to us putting us in a bind br We think our thoughrs are free br But are they really? ? br br Any books or poems for that matter that we read br Or the ideals or the principles that we lead br Are all rooted to the mind thats been fed br All the learning from the life we have led br Every thought being a result from that br Whats the newness, may I ask? ? br br Just be aware of what that signifies br Observe what it means, do not fight br Try and slowly uncondition the mind br Without a conflict that can make you blind br Make the mind still, remove all thoughts br Remove the veil of words, maybe it blots? ? br br A flash of understanding, a rapidity of insight br When mind is not burdened by its own noise br It is the memory that really interevenes br Challenge and Response in between br A chattering mind cannot understand br Truth... which is like a thief creeping into a still night.br br Renu Rakheja a.k.
