Don’t grab at the world
Don’t let your ego
Lift a single finger
Don’t believe it when it
Tells you it knows
What you “need”
What will make you happy
Because it doesn’t
The ego is a taker
More importantly
If perchance you do
Get what you want
Don’t let the ego
Not even for a second
Convince you that it
Got it for you
That it’s thanks to
Its efforts
Its plans
That you got it
Because if you do
The ego will hold it
Over your head
Forever
That’s how it ensnares you
It will use
Every “gift” to
Make you feel in debt
Make you serve it
Make you bow to it
Oh dear soul!
Free yourself from
This unholy trap
The ego will never
Let you see
That it wasn’t
Thanks to it
That you got what you wanted
No siree
All your gifts were
Freely given to you
As all things are
By the One Giver
The Universe Itself
No strings attached
Without effort
As if by magic
You don’t need
To manipulate
The outside world
To fill your coffers
If you do, you will spend
The rest of your days
Fighting to keep what your ego
Ungratefully stole
You will sit
Alone and afraid
Guarding your
Miserable spoils
No, friend
You are no beggar!
All you ever needed to do
Was simply ask for
What you wanted
That’s your lesson
Here on Earth
Ask for what you want
Become a grateful
Receiver
Learn to sit back
In total faith
And know that
The Universe wants to
Bring you what will
Truly make you happy
It alone knows
What you truly desire
Let these things
Be brought to you
In their own time
In their own
Miraculous way
Let the Universe guide you
Show you where to go
Who to work with
What to say
So that in the end
You end up serving
Not
the
pathetic
powerless
parasitic
ego
But something
Truly worth serving:
The
Universe
Itself!
…
(Isn’t that what
You truly want?)
