This Is the Sage



Paul Brunton
(1898-1981)




Sincerity is the foundation of the sage—
whose mind is fresh & young without age.
He is impervious to heat and cold,
his actions— courageous and bold.

Sees one in the many, many in the one—
his vision is second to none.
With wings— compassion & wisdom—
everywhere he goes is his kingdom.

The sage is not a walking encyclopedia—
no need for fortune from social media.
He is calm, serene, always at peace—
In his presence, you will feel at ease.

The sage is someone sweet & sublime—
living his life beyond space and time.
No one is so generous and kind—
The sage is best treasure you will find.
