9/23/21 Polarities Possessing the mind Stealing possibilities If I am This Then there is bound to be That A perfectionist Will find their enemy In one who makes mountains Out of molehills And therefore renders themselves Incapable A person bound to their suffering Suffers further When they see others in their joy A dislike of one thing Pulls toward it one Who likes that same thing Ātman Feeds on opposition To free oneself Starts from within Diving into the divine That which is limitless Freedom is here Connection Is always an option So long as one recognizes Their own mortal, mental positions And instead lends their mind To curiosity Here, Love triumphs And we all ascend.
