What is more free than a bee
To karma yoga devoted
It only performs its duty
Where no reward is promoted
Only in this can one be liberated
Freedom comes through action
Its outcome should not be deliberated
Doing nothing is a maneuver in abstraction
If expectation forms the basis of happieness
What follows, when not met, is anger and disappointment
better to give up all desires to possess
By this, one can reach enlightenment

By the time I've worked this one out (if indeed I ever do) then I must surely at least be in the vicinity of enlightenment??
(T'was the bee and karma yoga which sent me off on the wrong track, I think Soren........)
Thanks for the review Dave. The bee will tell you by its dance where the flowers are to make honey with. It's only a matter of decipering the dance.
Aaah!...LOL...Now if it had been reggae I'd have understood....
I love the lines "freedom comes through action, its outcome should not be deliberated". In this age of "me", can we find the path to selfless giving? The truth and wisdom of you words brings a lump to my throat dear poet. Superbly written!
Thank you so much Bella for your most generous words. They are deeoly appreciated.
(A worthy path as any, to accumulate
and manifest, an enlightened state..
I too believe in our karmatic footprints
Devoid of dogmatic limitations
in our interpretations,
we can choose
to invest in actions, without
being dependant on outcomes
to validate, worth...)
I like the philosophical tilt, to your words
that are anchored upon a life of faith
in those choices we make..
an empowering perspective and a lovely read, dear Poet
Again I thank you L.B. for your insightful comments and review. I see that there are multiple ways of seeing things, scientific, philisopical, emotional, spiritual, none are mutually exclusive in my mind.
