meet the world with love, even if it repulses you
even if it terrifies you
and makes you crazy with rage
even with all this
meet it with love and
don’t expect it to change
but instead
through your devotion
and unswerving commitment
to awakening
transmit a vibration of love and truth
so powerful
it shakes lies and fear and hatred
to the ground
it is light that dissolves darkness
and when the world becomes dark
the only light that needs to shine
is yours
and only when you have
dissolved all darkness
within yourself
will you truly know
how powerful the light is
this is not some
spiritual banter
this is hard truth
true awakening
is ferocious, not fluffy
it is a fire that burns everything
to the ground
it is a light that blinds.
if you want to know
what awakening is like
stare into the sun
if you are called to this path
of truth
you will have to burn
in the fire of transformation.
it is not for the faint hearted
it is not for the cowardly.
the only answer to the world
and all its vicissitudes
is an awakening so powerful
everything that is unawakened
falls at its feet and dissolves.
