Discovery of the Self( Part 1)Looking back and looking ahead To the yet unknown that is to come Defining the self all through life Every plant, flower, animal touched And being shaped by the surroundings And being defined in shapes like water takes shape. Exercised by the responsibilities Continuous choices Process of defining the self. Being defined by the values For which we are standing And for independent choices That makes us different. Not feeling bad about the self Being silenced, analyzing we have made. Life is polar in nature Darkness and light, Success and failure Integration of moments Initiated at the birth lasted on the death. Did we made a bridge Rather than a wall? Did we made a bridge To the inner world of own spirit Rather than mortal world? Did we chosen light Rather than within light, lying darkness? Did we chosen flower Rather than bush of thorn on which it grown? Take the charge of self On the way to discovery of the self. When you were dreaming at night In the morning you knew About the dream. Whatever you were doing in the dream Was a truth for dreaming And false for the awaken. In both, you were present, Who is holding memory? Who are you? Apart from truth or false, Darkness or the light, Sorrow and happiness, Success or failure, Know, who are you? Separate the darkness of ignorance Unleash your mind rising Keep the faith on self, On the way to Discovery of the self. On the dark streets, Candle light and blowing air, Dancing flame to survive. As time goes by Candle let her melt To defeat air and lit the darken street On the way to discovery of the self.
