Only God Can Hold Truth

A new gem of
Truth has surfaced.
My curiosity is aroused.
Let me take a look.
Now! Right now! Let me
discover, now,
the nature of
its light,
and claim it for my own!
A new Truth--
I can hardly contain myself!
Then I remember that
all of the bits of wisdom
I have gathered into books
comes not on demand
to serve me.

I am not the Master
of any Truth.
If I seek to be wise,
My mind is blank.
Yet in a moment of need,
and with quiet receptiveness,
the very Truth I need
stands before my opened self.
