MISIDENTIFICATION, NOT MIND IS THE PROBLEM.

Post by Pravin Kumar » Wed Apr 11, 2018 3:13 pm

Here is the poem based on my last article:

Misidentification, Not Mind, Is The Problem

Stilling the mind gives only fleeting peace,
But with correct identification it will last,
For as Pure Awareness angst will cease,
Mind spinning and suffering in the past.

Techniques which forcibly still the mind,
Impeding thought by intense concentration,
May initially succeed, but you will find,
They ultimately fail with misidentification.

For if you identify with thought,
As the thinker, a unique separate being,
It does not matter what you’re taught,
From the mind stream you’ll still be fleeing.

Whereas, when you discover that you are That,
Pure Awareness, perceiving presence,
Worry and angst appear to be less than tat,
Flowing through this tranquil essence.

Such negative thoughts will lose their weight,
As the mind lets go of its central position,
Thus they will lessen and finally abate,
When servant becomes its true definition.

The ego-self is seen to be an illusion,
So self-interest and concern cease to be,
Thus removing much confusion,
As Pure Awareness you’re forever free.

This clears the mind, unleashing its power,
As problem solver and instrument of creation,
Allowing our true potential to flower,
The result of overcoming misidentification.
