“You” are Consciousness at work

 The teacher who advises “you” 

to be mindful of psychological thought 

cannot bring about Realization.

The teacher who tells you 

to heal “your” psychological wounds 

cannot bring about Realization.

The teacher who tells “you” 

that you are “That” 

cannot bring about Realization.

Yet, all of them provide answers

and are part of the maturing process.

The fruit falls when it is ripe.

When the I is grasped, sensed, felt, seen;

when all hurts and aspirations are 

embraced, understood and let go of as they arise.

We cannot let go of self,

but we can see Consciousness at work,

and enjoy the ride—“you” are “That”!
