Great Poem by Nissim Ezekial, Indian poet

Whether you believe or not
Think as if you do.
Stop the blind effort.
Ask yourself what you need.
Success at the moment is not in your interest.
Turn to silence.
Nothingness.
Where you are is where you have to be.
No, you are not wise.
This is difficult.
Grasp your folly and you grasp yourself.
What you have eaten is merely unripe fruit.
So, now.
Learn to fast.
Do without.
Be absent.
Keep the eyes closed.
Keep the mind steady,
What you see you will also understand.
No visions except in darkness.
Listen to the voice that is not your own
Then move again without remorse or guilt.
Love
Is more concerned about your fate
Than you have ever been.
That is why you have survived.
Express your gratitude by giving what you have to give.
You may get nothing in return.
And bear your restlessness with grace.

— Nissim Ezekiel
