My Spiritual Journey

Born in light, grown in ignorance Ego has masked the Truth Enslaved by temporary pleasure Running from aversion Suffering is its only fruit Tied to this world, so familiar Whereby you know another And, are known to another by your ego alone Longing for God is obscured Ego drives and steers by fear To dominate and control Layers upon layers, it buries the Soul How can one drop the ego To be nothing and unknown Ego does not want to be examined It does not like awareness Cannot exist in the bareness Of being nothing Bewildered in the vast — Absolute Oh Ego, release this heart Know the One that is all Let the veil of ignorance fall Away, gently flowing down To reveal His Love unbound

No being can grant or take away what has always been Without a beginning and without end. There is no race, no competition, no win and no loss. Reprimands, beatings, praises or embraces The recipient and the donor are one. There is no telling another how to live. Each has their own place — The beggar outside the gate. The prayerful bribing the priest. The priest accepting the bribe. Infinite variations acting upon His will. Are you going to change? Can you change another? Shamed, blamed, commended or recommended There is no race, no competition, no win and no loss. You are as you are And will be as you be In the body.
