and carries it to his path of work and doership
he carries it and yet
he does not need to
for it is not his responsibility to carry anything
it is only his responsibility to come to know himself
then this burden is dissolved into grace
and there is no more confusion
or picking up of that which is heavy
and not real
so what the man of the world is
is a man of God
in reality
he does not have anything holding him
he is unshackled as the sky and open meadows
and glorious vast oceans of rich life
he is like this in truth
and if he understands this
he will put down the baggage and rejoice
that his heart is here
so bright and present
so full and in light
so auspicious
so like the sage
free
unbound
pure
a man weighs heavy in terms of objects
he possesses
he weighs heavy in terms of worldly knowledge
he weighs heavy in terms of worldly knowledge
he weighs heavy in terms of book knowledge
he weighs heavy in terms of family dynamics and
he weighs heavy in terms of family dynamics and
relationships
he weighs heavy in terms of desires and body focus
he does not know that his spirit
is truly not weighted down by the world like this
it is formless, without any luggage to bear
it is present in stilled beauty
it is stainless without any collected experience
it is like a bright star in the dark sky
everpresent and undeniable
the heart of all
the righting of all wrongs
and it is *light*
and *heavy* with wisdom
not worldly objects
a man is not free if he sees
his body as himself
he is not pure then
because he is owning something impure
and soiled
this is not correct
because the atman is unsoiled and free of form
it is untarnished, unblemished
and not to die away ever
so how does this equate with being a body
that is to come and go
and one day perish?
how does this equate with what is real
and everlasting?
and everlasting?
