Necessity of awakening

Shining as Self and knowing who is God,
laudable no doubt but not quite enough,
unless wisdom dawns in mind-body pod
and all cravings of ego we rebuff,
giving love a nod in our heart now thawed,
awareness self-aware, free of mind stuff,
for unless we break free from every chain,
we’ll be born on earth again and again.
