spirit in truth

he freed himself from the fetters of the world
he took to himself the light and fed it with attention
love and devotion
he freed himself from the bonds of suffering
he took to himself the wisdom of the sages
the books of the heart
the fresh energies that were given freely
by the Guru
in this way he walked in the fires of purification
he freed himself from the ache of separation
he called to nothing and no one
for he was in himSELF and what was there to know?
but only to go onward into the sea of knowledge
in which all that is a dream dies
not to be reborn
he freed himself from the bonds of sorrow
he lived like a man in the heart
what does this mean really?
it means to be not following the mind
the thoughts that come and go
or to make them up on a pedestal where they
will be the master
but to look instead to the life force of all
which is not of mind and form
which is in quietude and silence
he freed himself from all knowledge that was
of the past and future
what is a man that lives this way?
he is a man that is not afraid anymore
he is a man that does not  create a world with thought
he is a man that is purified and simple
he flows with life as a river unencumbered
but he is not any-thing
this is so very absurd
to feel the being is some-thing that is physical
because the being is spirit in truth
and this is unsoiled
and given within grace unto all
