Certainty

CERTAINTY

Certainty undermines one's power, and turns happiness into a long shot. Certainty confines.

Dears, there is nothing in your life that will not change - especially your ideas of God.

Look what the insanity of righteous knowledge can do:

crusade and maim thousands

in wanting to convert that which

is already gold

into gold.

Certainty can become an illness

that creates hate and

greed.

God once said to Tuka,

"Even I am ever changing -

I am ever beyond

Myself,

what I may have once put my seal upon,

may no longer be

the greatest

Truth."

~ Tukaram ~
