illusion and ego

i went out alone on my way to my tryst
but who is this me in the dark
i step aside to avoid his presence
but i escape him not
he makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger
he adds his loud voice to every word i utter
he is my own little self my lord
he knows no shame
but I
i am ashame
to come to thy door in his company

- rabindranath tagore

that is real that never changes

- Muktananda

even after all this time
the sun never says to the earth
"You owe Me"

just think what a love like that can do
it lights up the whole world

- Hafiz

"from the beginning i had a sense of destiny as if my life was assigned to me by faith and had to be fulfilled, this gave me an inner security and though i could never prove it to myself, it proved itself to me, i did not have this certainty it had me."

let it be

Be.
