Discriminating Wisdom


http://www.thangka-mandala.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/Manjushri-Pauba-detail.jpg

There’s a sword in the hand of the Buddha,
The sword of Manjushri discriminates
Between Compassion and idiot-compassion.

There in the Land of Mahamudra
Where discriminating wisdom doesn’t hesitate
But cuts decisively conscious, free of passion.

Appeasement of ego and aggression holds no sway,
The responsibility of right action demands discrimination –
A foul word and pariah to Gutmensch and mainstream.

"We don’t want to discriminate!" one’s trained to say,
The conflict-avoiding love-and-lighters eschew any tension;
To discriminate between facts and taqiyya arouses their screams

To "shut up and fly straight" into the Abyss –
Never against the stream, the intolerance in their "tolerance,"
Multi-culti proving in the end but a gray mono-culti.

To differentiate between truth and fantasy, or peace and cowardice
Is the way of satyagraha – you take the chance
Of failing to communicate the wisdom in urgency

Of awakened action – not opinion or theory but seeing clearly –
The sword Christ said “I bring” is to cut through this sleep:
For the cult of compulsive conformity ushers in "The-Religion-Of-Peace."

The death of our cultural tapestry in the form of homogenized "diversity"
Heralding an end to think and to question – just keep
In mind while you still have one, the comfort of ignorance comes with a price.
