(For J. Krishnamurti)
You know what's round the bend
when you've seen all around it
and come to a place to notice--
clear of mind and awake with
no choice and no judgment
of what you see. This seeing
needs no optic nerve but some
nerve.
The nerve of observation's a key
to attend to what's there and what
not. Apart from point of view
and beyond remembrance of things
past or pained or pondered
you attend with no effort and
thus attending you conclude
nothing.
You must issue no verdict of
self or self-interest and rest
present with presentments not
chosen. One other thing,
there must be no envy
ambition or greed for action
to spring well from its rightful
place.
