What makes the spiritual poems differs from other spiritual writings? Poetry has a way of pointing directly to reality, instead of simply setting. It uses words such as tools for the transmission of the experience. Then, spiritual poetry is more on the lights of belief. Here is a classic example of the DAO de Jing:
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the agitation of human beings,
But consider returning.
Each separate beings in the universe
Returns the common source.
Back to the source is serenity.
If you do not realize the source
stumble you confusion and sadness.
When you realize where you arrived
you become naturally tolerant
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother
dignity as a King.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
You can deal with whatever life, brings
When comes to death, you are ready.
The Christian Bible is full of poems spirituelles.Considérez this short passage of poetry in Corinthians:
When I was a child,
I spoke like a child
I thought like a child
Reasoning, as a child.
When I became a man
I've given childish ways.
Spiritual poems are not necessarily religious poèmes.Ils can simply point to universal values in life and our relationship to ces.Cela can be seen in the last verse of the poem «Higher Lake.»
He was the Sun on my face
and it was more than
description, idea,
belief or faith.
Spiritual poetry may try to emphasize truth particulière.Il can also be more enigmatic, causing you inquire into something more closely to find your own vérité.Il can be an expression of love, or encouraged to relax and be simple paix.Jouissance, however, is enough reason to read spiritual poems.
