That's When You Know Who You Are

Have you felt it?
            Do you feel it even now?
 
The push,
      The drive,
             The burden,
                     The torment
 
Of seeking freedom
Though you “know” – you’ve heard the masters say – “No ‘you’ can ever find it.”
Of seeking freedom
Though you “know” – you’ve heard the masters say – “Desire is all that stands in the way.”
Of seeking freedom
Though you “know” – you’ve heard the masters say – “You are already free.
You are freedom Itself.”
 
Have you felt it?
            Do you feel it even now?
 
The pain,
      The heaviness,
               The weight,
                      The enormity
 
Of that little thought.
That single, simple, thought.
The thought that knocked on your mind’s door one day and whispered, “You’re not free.”
 
Have you felt it?
            Do you feel it even now?
 
The openness,
       The spaciousness,
                    The joy,
                            The peace
 
Of Essence
When the mind forgets to whisper, “You’re separate.”
Of Essence
When the mind forgets to whisper, “You need something.”
Of Essence
When the mind forgets to whisper, “Do something, anything!”
 
Have you felt it?
            Do you feel it even now?
 
The stillness,
         The silence,
                   The bliss
                            The ease
 
Of Essence
When the mind is watched.
Of Essence
When the mind is ignored.
Of Essence
When the mind is quiet.
 
It’s when thoughts are seen through – that’s when you really know.
That’s when you know who you Are.
