The Desire To Know Your Own Soul

Absorbed In This World, You've Made It Your Burden. Rise Above This World. There Is Another Vision. All Your Life You've Paid Attention To Your Experiences, But Never To Your Self. Are You Searching For Your Soul? Then Come Out Of Your Prision. Leave The Stream And Join The River That Flows Into The Ocean. It Will Not Lead You Astray. Let The Beauty You Seek Be What You Do.

Work On Your Stony Qualities And Become Resplendent Like The Ruby. Practice Self-denial And Accept Difficulty. Always See Infinite Life In Letting The Self Die. Your Stoniness Will Decrease; Your Ruby Nature Will Grow. The Signs Of Self-existence Will Leave Your Body, And Ecstasy Will Take You Over.

The Spirit Is So Near That You Can't See It! But Reach For It... Don't Be A Jar, Full Of Water, Whose Rim Is Always Dry. Don't Be The Rider Who Gallops All Night And Never Sees The Horse That Is Beneath Him.

There Is A Life-force Within Your Soul, Seek That Life. There Is A Gem In The Mountain Of Your Body, Seek That Mine. O Traveller, If You Are In Search Of That Don't Look Outside, Look Inside Yourself And Seek That.

A Seeker Of Truth Looks Beyond The Apparent And Contemplates The Hidden.
