A part of the self died And dissolved moment to moment To make way for the raw and pure Free from aversion, free from the lure.

Mired with labels, a notorious pride I folded my hands, worked my mind Let go of the I and the mine Only to find peace in the universe inside

From sutta into bhavana (intellect into experience) From theory to practice, Arose the moments of clarity Oh! Everything is within us The power to counter all polarities!

The distance between reaction-response That freedom to make a choice All it takes is a deep look within A complete surrender to the now So elusive, yet such a simple knowhow!

The journey has just begun The first step taken, the first of many more With folded hands and deep gratitude Bhavtu sarvam mangalam! (May all beings be happy)
