As the awareness of knowing I am not this body arose
I happily detached myself from my body
I still couldn’t experience the liberation
Maybe it’s my mind I am shackled with?
It was not my body holding me back!
I summoned my mind roaming in Gaia
This silly, toddler-like, confused mind
happily enjoys the illusions of Maya.
Playing with the glitter of the world around.
It was not my mind holding me back!
Would my thousands of thoughts be the culprit?
I stared at them with immense curiosity.
They were just bubbles and ripples.
Arising and subsiding in my awareness.
It was not my thoughts holding me back!
The desire to experience my true self
I was so dearly holding my I-self.
The intense bond created a blockage.
It chained me tighter with acquired knowledge.
Blaming everything else for holding me back!
The more I learned, the more I thought I knew.
I studied to firm my belief than other few,
In the end, it concluded — I know nothing,
Everything I know so far is not my truth;
Was knowledge holding me back?
Neither the belief nor the knowledge
But knowing nothing allowed me to know.
It’s not educating the I-self to see the truth
But simply letting it go with the flow.
It was the I-self holding myself back!
