Honor: 0 [ Give / Take ]
“Your own Self-Realization
is the greatest service you can
render the world.”
- Ramana Maharshi
There is a difference between serving others selflessly and serving others through the perspective of our ego. If we seek to help others to please our ego, we can make things worse rather than better. We may have a feeling of superiority or want to please others in our own way. To know our real self is to understand that we are connected with others. If we understand our connection with other people it becomes natural and instinctive to serve others selflessly. - We will look upon other people as an extend part of our reality.
Captured, kept in silence in the dark
Dream lost his power and freedom
The ragged memories of past strength remained.
He never could forget that once he roamed till,
screaming, he was trapped in this cruel, empty fire,
To sleep like death, unawakened by a kiss.
He was unbound. We dreamed again, when his soft kiss
Restored our minds. Monsters forged in dark
Subconscious holes submitted to this fire;
He made our sleep his home. His black cloak, ragged.
Dark guardian Sandman, will you leave us?
Never.
Immortal wisdom touches us, but mortal never
Can embrace us fully, or recognize him, which keeps
us sane. Do not run screaming. There is no exit,
just the silent dark. Beyond that void,
we are the ragged survivors of our thoughts.
Consumed by fire.
He touched them all, and he will never
Forget that we are his, we motley race of dying
flesh, so prone to kiss and kill and excuse both.
So in the dark we know he's there and know ourselves.
We all are his, from rich to poor,
His silence makes us conscious of our screaming.
Dream's gift is insight. Then Death's kiss,
Desire's pain. The wild and bitter fire
is from Delirium. We will never meet
the thousand siblings, but as voices in the dark.
The dark swirling mists.
The Seasons of the Mists.
