From where is the impulse to awaken felt?
Not through ego-mind, but from our center quite beyond it.
As this impulse gains momentum,
Ego-mind is left by the wayside, in the dust.
For the more it assumes it's the guiding force,
The more disappointment and despair is invited its way.
While the more it relinquishes its mantle of false claims,
The more pleasing the outcome as the Beloved's pleasure.
