SILENCE

I love my company
the freedom of aloneness

I love my silence
the mystery of life unveiled

I love the sound of silence
the signs of life revealed

I love the scenes and sounds
of nature
the truth of life and death
unfold

REAL SELF

Who Am I?

Unaware of self at birth

Alas! In no time discovery
of self happens

In a flash -- ego comes along.

Self started small -- grows bigger
with time

Surprise! Ego keeps in pace --
clings and attaches to self.

Who Am I without my name and all that is attached to me?

NOBODY!

Mastery of Self is the path to know

my Real Self and my
Authentic Ego
