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 ~
