15Viewpoint of Atman

Man says, “I am in bondage?”

This viewpoint of Atman

Reflects our own wrong Understanding today

Man ignorantly refuses to acknowledge

His own free state of Being

Then runs around in circle

In search of his own freedom

Man’s dependence makes him seek

Books, systems and rituals

It’s man’s Ignorance of Truth

That makes him seek

gurus, masters, swamis, and guides

Be Aware

you cannot ‘demand’ and ‘receive’

a gift of salvation, even from a Satguru

Only when you are ‘Ready’ and ‘Right’

can these intermediaries be of help

Our ancestors’ beliefs and rituals

Reflect understanding and traditions

of their daily life

Our present daily life

Reflect our inner conditioning

Viewpoint of Atman15

Viewpoint of Atman

and our own beliefs today

Understand clearly

Life is a movement

It’s new everyday

Be Aware

Avoid being enchained

by old beliefs and rituals

That prevents understanding

of your life today

Realize this Now

To arrive at your own true convictions

Learn to Focus on the Facts

That reveal your own Integrated Being

Learn to assimilate and integrate

All your experiences and all you know

But do not forget

True conviction comes from ‘Right Perception’

and ‘Self-understanding’ alone

Be clear … …

It’s through Awareness alone

You’ll re-discover your original Being

Know that the knowledge of my-Self

Man says, “I am in bondage?”
