There are many layers of understanding,
One deeper than the other,
Just like the humble Onion bulb.
Starting from the gross to the subtlest,
The outer most layer is the driest of them,
Consisting of just dry knowledge about the One,
The second one is a bit moist by experience,
But it is also shaded by the dirt of biased opinions.
The following layer may be pungent and sharp to taste,
It is sad that most of us get stuck in this layer itself,
Never venturing to peel our understanding further,
But the one who goes beyond these outer few,
Will find layers which are juicy, moist and tender.
In time when we transcend our own understanding,
By going deeper and deeper into ourselves/
A time will come when we shall reach the center of our core,
Where there will be nothing to understand, about anything no more.
For then we would have Known the essence of our own being,
That will be the center of the Inner Universe!
