I Kept Thinking And He Kept Asking Poem by Shakira Nandini

He asked me
How to get knowledge?
I said
With effort
He said
How to act on it?
I said
With intention
He said
How did the intention come about?
I said
With intentions
He asked
How to make intentions?
I said
Purity of intention
He said
How pure is the intention?
I was silent
What can I say
Speaking of the purity of wealth
Write down the purity of worship
To be pure in personality building
Write the purity of thought from the soul
Or write about the purity of the psyche from obscenity
Write your society or economy purely through fraud
Or write about the purity of worship with the benefit
Then it happened that the silence took hold
I kept thinking and he kept asking
Even the period of impure age is over.
