the real, the self, is ever whole, complete,

immutable... boundless and inescapable.

 

* * *

 

I am,

Self identity

Is a donkey.

Mind, name, form, feelings

Emotions, cravings, hopes and fears

All included… merely an ass.

We all are donkeys, whether considered most intelligent

And revered as such

Or regarded as the dumbest of the dumb…

No different from plain asses –

Likewise subject to birth, growth, decay and death.

But the remember, friend,

Lucky seeker after truth,

That the master, the all pervading

Nameless self

Is boundless and beyond time.

Peerless ghost rider

Directing and guiding all donkeys,

The herd owner and sustainer

Is the same resplendent one and only,

Birth-less and deathless reality.

There is no other. So

Wake up from dreams of selfhood, oh fortunate!

Friend of bright prospects,

Enjoy the frolics

Of the dead donkey –

While there is time.

 

in love,

yosy
