Every story or fable about the Masters
misleads us, subtly.
We see how they are
and translate it to see ourselves, there.
And, thus, when we imagine ourselves as they are,
we always see ourselves
through the eyes of others.
It's again the difference between
being and trying to be.
We must find the secret within us.
Utterly disconnected from
all imaginings, posings and motives.
We must become the light of unity
unto ourselves,
born only of ourselves.

I’ve never read anything so honest, so true, so brave indeed! Your words… these and many others… have been with me in the past few days, have touched me deeply, have brought recognition and joy in the knowledge that there others, in this world, who try to see beyond self, who try to be awake…
genuinely and honestly so. Your poetry is a beautiful discovery, thank you for sharing it and friendly greetings from France! (I found you through The Culturium :-))
