Be To Become

Dreams within dreams reveal deep truth to us
provided we remain aware,
discarding all vicarious knowing,
mood and mode, softened attention,
receptive to wisdom downloads imbibed,
as counsel of the universe.

Nonchalance as our orientation,
we are in but not of the world,
aspect non-clinging, flowing like the breeze,
head-heart aligned, we stand erect,
our thoughts rested, awareness self-aware,
we celebrate soul’s blossoming.

There then is no specific goal we have,
for in truth there is no one here,
save pristine soul presence, bliss energised,
witnessing ego fade away,
paving way for divine grace to reveal,
that our essence is living light.

Great argument. Some care for the ego, some for the soul. Freedom of choice in this world, not in the next one though.
