Material Misconception

“The one thing needful is the growth of the soul; all other things are secondary and subordinate. The supreme business of man is to find the Divine.” — Sri Aurobindo - Essays in Philosophy and Yoga

Material Misconception

Mistaken identity,

The natural way,

Bewildered immersion,

In this physical play.

–

Trauma and heartache,

Repression and resolve,

An escape from karma,

Thick skinned and armored.

–

Boldly building,

A life on this known plane,

Manifesting success,

A risk taking extroverted shell,

Covering deep seeded buried pain.

–

Still an innate sense,

Right and wrong clear,

Beatitudes of justice,

An unknown compass,

Guiding my way.

–

But for a twist of fate,

A guided visit to Siddhartha‘s home,

A genuine call for help,

This wayward soul roams.

–

A blast of lightning,

Unfolding the path,

Destiny springs forth,

Cracking open this heart of stone.

–

Deep searching and digging,

In the darkness, alone,

Facing demons and energies,

Not my own.

–

Discovering the light,

Divinity within,

Surrendering to God,

Forgiving and letting go,

All the ego once held dear.

–

Realization of reality,

In discipline and dedication,

Ending the nightmares,

Bringing peace and serenity.

–

Blessed in gratitude,

This life devine,

Telling my story,

This unfragmented soul,

Sitting in truth and joyful silence.

–

My unseeing eye,

Graced with knowing,

Now, helping others,

See through their material misconception.
