Running Amok
written by: Dr. K. K. Matthew
Running amok at the periphery only
Engaged in all the activities in excess,
Thinking, everything flourishing there
But never have a peep at the centre.
Having no idea what the base of it is
Not knowing if the base is sand or rock?
How did it originate from the base?
Go deep to the centre, never on the periphery
For everything one comes across in life
Otherwise, your thinking has no base
Superficiality is always erroneous
It’s the root cause of all imperfection.
