A Knock at Your Door

On the other side

Stands an unknowable question.

 

You must answer it

Immediately.

To answer this door is to die.

To not answer it is to die.

What shall you do?

 

You must only go straight

To the door

And answer this question

Instantly

And not know the answer.

The present mind is of no use

To answer this question.

Neither is the past mind of use

Nor the future mind

To answer this unanswerable question. 

Which mind do you propose to use?

 

Baffled by everything

From the beginning,

The unknowable Question 

Meant absolutely nothing

And everything.

 

It’s only unknowable answer

Is giving one’s whole being to 

The One.

The Many.

The One and the Many.

Neither the One nor the Many.

 

 

 

 

Something at the Door

 

On the other side

Stands an unknowable question.
