Which is the measure

Measuring or revealing

The Being-Awareness shining in the heart

Whose light alone reveals

 

all measuring,

Measure, measurer, and things measured?

 

Only as long as there is a measurer

Do measuring and things measured seem to be.

 

But when the measurer sees the Self

Of Being and gets lost in It,

All other things along with him

Perish and fall together

 

The greatest  obstacle

on the Path of Surrender

is egotism, “I” and “mine”.

It is  something tha t has been inheriting

to your  personality  since ages,

sending its  tentacles deeper and deeper

with experience of every succeeding life.

It can be removed  only

By the twin  detergents  

of Discrimination and  Detachment
