The Vaporised Self

Narrow mind, struggling to join all the dots
Thus missing out on the larger picture
Spiralling about in ego thought slots

Mind body, feeble soul caricature
An instrument to navigate earth life
Why then allow, it to be our teacher

Immersed here, in world of struggle and strife
We find ourselves swamped in limitation
Feeling each pain, cutting heart with a knife

Freedom in this simple recognition 
That we are not limited mind body
This simple truth, known in meditation 

Negating thus, feral thought forms shoddy
We bring head and heart into alignment 
Feeling bliss throb within, slow and steady

Seek not, oh hermit, any attainment 
Vaporise ego; rest in contentment
