Good and bad

Being in ignorance of our true being or Self If we say ‘good’ is what takes us nearer to the truth And ‘bad’ is what immerses us deeper in delusion or in trance Then perhaps we may look at thoughts, words and deeds objectively An action is preceded by thought and thought originates in the heart If heart is quiescent then there is no thought and hence no ego The actions then done are in resonance with will of God Simply because false ego-identity has disappeared So, what then is karma but action in ignorance As long as ego-identification exists, karma plays out However when we wake up in the dream, the life play ends The dreamer and dreamed now one, all that is, is time dissolved bliss
