When the S E L F dissolves self

 This self may be illusionary,

but it is pretty darn persistent.

Just like this chair may be energy,

Yet, I just stubbed my toe against it.

 

The trick is not to negate self.

Ask who claims it to be maya.

Simply observe, is self at the root,

or S (erenity) E (nergy) L (ove) F (low)?

 

The seven sins are us, 

accepting this weakens their power.

Also, when we claim to be enlightened

we have to ask, who makes this assertion?

 

This world may appear bipolar,

but freedom from self awaits here now.

Can we see self side by side with SELF?

When we do, self disappears like a mirage.
