124Pilgrimage to Self

Would you like to take pilgrimage to Self?

If yes,

Then just walk with me as ‘I’

holding the hand of my guru — the Awareness

Let’s journey together

through space and time and then beyond

Now that ‘Alok’ and ‘Kalpak’

Have taken responsibility for their own destiny

Now that ‘Shaku’ and ‘others related’

are on their own course of life

There’s nothing to do

I know

The ‘Source’ takes care of everyone’s needs

What else shall I do?

What else shall I create?

What else should I achieve?

As I sit doing nothing

Relaxed with no care of the world

Brooding, pondering, and speculating

Suddenly a thought just flashed by

Who is this ‘i’?

It’s better to know this ‘i’

Pilgrimage to Self

As it seems to be

the root cause of all my questions

Thus began my pilgrimage to Self

Sitting alone in ‘solitude’

which is different than just being alone

The mind is at peace

but with this one desire

To find

‘Who is the questioner within me?

For hours I would sit there like an idiot

Doing nothing

Simply observing my mind

But with no desire to find the answer

I don’t know ‘what’ protected me

from the deadly virus called ‘Excuse’

The power of ‘Grace’ protected me

from the tamasic negative energy of Laziness

In the beginning of my sadhana

I did not understand what ‘surrender’ is

I used it as a ‘peg’

to hang all my minds problems on it

Until I realized

Would you like to take pilgrimage to Self?

If yes,

Then just walk with me as ‘I’

holding the hand of my guru — the Awareness

Let’s journey together

through space and time and then beyond

Now that ‘Alok’ and ‘Kalpak’

Have taken responsibility for their own destiny

Now that ‘Shaku’ and ‘others related’

are on their own course of life

There’s nothing to do

I know

The ‘Source’ takes care of everyone’s needs

What else shall I do?

What else shall I create?

What else should I achieve?

As I sit doing nothing

Relaxed with no care of the world

Brooding, pondering, and speculating

Suddenly a thought just flashed by

Who is this ‘i’?

It’s better to know this ‘i’
