A Thousand Dramas

I have seen
a thousand dramas,
a thousand plays
my ego has written
and performed -
shedding it's
costumes and veils,
whirling in confusion -
hiding the truth
of who I really am.

They are of no use.
They have even lost the
appeal of diversion and
entertainment.

It is this boredom
with the ego and it's hideous
portrayal of the Self
that eventually gives
us the leverage to
crack open the pride
encasing the heart
and surrender to
humility and abandon.

The ego veils the
LIGHT of the true self.

Look behind your shadow;
and remove your sandals.
There lies the Self which burns
as the bush that is not consumed.

Ciao!
