Self-imposed

What you see is nothing but yourself.

Through the film of destiny

a light depicts pictures on the screen.

It's self-selected, self-imposed.

All happens in consciousness.

When you look at anything

it's the ultimate you see.

- the ultimate -

you think you see a stone, a cloud or a tree.

Hungry, thirsty, longing,

searching and seizing,

holding, losing and suffering.

All your going and coming,

seeking pleasure, loving and hating –

all this shows: you don`t know the source.

You were not born, they told you a lie.

It`s just an idea that was born and shall die.

The cognition hurts me, they told me a lie.

It's just an idea that was born and shall die.

On realization, you feel complete,

free from the pleasure-pain complex.

Pain and pleasure go together.

Freedom from one is freedom from both.
