While this world is play and the end result is dust and dry soil
Do we dare to embark on illumination?
Do we share in the wonders of the soul?
So we look for permanence in the perishing
And we cannot penetrate the phenomenal being
So we go with the excuses of the ego and fail
And we see that this metaphorical share cannot claim
So I seek permission to turn a full conscious degree
Counting every bounty,
I am impelled by heart felt love
I sow the world and leave the chaff
I cease attachment to the fragments of glass
I recognise lies in truth and let it pass
I seek a permanent beloved in place of the transient
I observe with the eye of discernment
I pay attention to the hidden beauty
I ignore the decorations and go
I love the One signified
I see His light’s radiance
I realise this,
I cannot claim existence
The outer meanings are limited
But there is a trace of mercy in everything and every aspect
What we can do is so much
But the ego always wants to condemn
Upset for not getting, pride in gain
What we can do is so much
Just to turn a full conscious degree would be enough
