the fires...

the king on his throne

he is not happy 

for he is to be like a man 

that is watchful of his kingdom

that could be captured and fall 

in the wrong hands 

he is not a man that is in peace 

when he sleeps 

he worries about his men and his 

world that he guards 

and when he is awake he is also worried 

that his world will change for the worst 

if he is not watchful

the man of God is not like this 

he has no world to protect or worry about 

as he has cast this to the fires of truth 

to be burned there 

leaving great stillness only 

then what has he to worry about?

all is in the hands of God 

and not his anymore to bear

for then there is only peace and the flow 

of life as it unfolds 

in it's wondrous way that has no mind 

or self-interest remaining..

the king he does not know about himself

in truth 

he is a certain kind of man

high up he feels and in power over something 

but this is not to bring quiet to his soul ever  

but only drives him into the fires
that are to churn up more separation

he lives unaware of his ways that are false 

like a man not seeing

and is taken to his death this way too 

and reborn to find another experience that is to 

bring him again to death or to great life 

his choice always 

but who knows as this is in his hands to see 

the man of God he has power over nothing 

and no one for there is nothing left to try to control

as this person that feels in control has died to the fires 

of purification and is gone forever 

what remains is great love, peace and rest 

whether he is walking, sitting, standing 

or whatever action is done by the body

he is not in it  -- only non-dual

consciousness remains

so what has he to do with the king?

he is not related to the king at all 

he is completely free of all that is up high or down low 

he is abiding in the pure essence 

as one heart and mind without thought 

he is the man of great seeing

the soul fire of truth 

and this is what is the best of all

there is no doubt
