The Silent Flame: Dialogue of Seeker and Sage
from Free Association Podcast Radio Show And Roundtable · host radioprojects Dennis Barker
A compact Upanishadic-style dialogue where a seeker questions the nature of self, death, and birth, and the sage leads the inquiry toward silence. Vivid imagery of fire, the sea, and the smallest grain reveal the paradox of the Self as both hidden and infinite. The poem moves from questioning to the final unspoken knowing — Tat tvam asi — inviting the reader into a quiet, inward recognition.
