You are not what you think you are. You are not what appears to be. Forget about all your problems, all your joys, all your sorrows. Forget about all these things.
They can do absolutely nothing to you or for you. Stop thinking! Quiet your mind. Become still, peaceful. Then you will feel the Presence. Then you will feel the Power.
Do you feel it? When it is quiet, silent.
Tremendous Power. Tremendous Bliss, Joy.
It abides as you, when you keep still.
When you rejoice in your Self.
When you take refuge in your Self.
When you love your Self.
Have you ever tried really to love your Self?
Of course, I am not speaking about your ego.
What you appear to be, but to love the SELF.
Your real (Divine) SELF. The SELF that has always been and will always.
Be.
You are that SELF right now. Just the way you are.
When you love the SELF, you love the SELF that is eternal.
The Absolute Reality.
Consciousness. Pure Awareness. That is your SELF.
Have you ever thought of yourself as Pure Awareness?
Total freedom? Complete Bliss? Omnipresence.
Feel yourself as That. Forget about your body.
Stop thinking about it. Leave it alone. IT IS NOT YOU.
It never was you.
You are BEAUTY. JOY. Everlasting BLISS. Boundless SPACE. PURE AWARENESS.
This is You.
Do what you can to help the misery of this world.
Have compassion. Loving kindness.
Help others all you can.
But all the time work on yourself. Continue to work on yourself.
Always.
Never stop working on yourself.
- Robert Adams

Hi Balance
Thanks for the poem.
The last bit struck me as particularly important, in relation to what went before, because it often gets left out of these portrayals of truth. |
