Step into your inner world

Be mindful to ask
And search the root of thought.
Ask where is this thought coming from?
Ask why you having this thought?

On the thought itself.
You will deepen the contemplation
Eventually you will find your answers.

When you are pushed beyond yourself
You need to find out the source
You will find your truths
Along the way!
