#enlightenement
The Purpose of our Life is Enlightenment
But we are all trapped in Achievement
We run a race trying to be an ace
Lost in this maze, we don't live with grace
And all we end up is with entertainment
What is Enlightenment, this Truth, do we know?
It is overcoming Ignorance within, a spark is lit, aglow
It is overcoming the lie that God lives in the sky
Going on a Quest, Realizing, 'Who am 'I''
And ultimately, being free from this show
Many of us ask the question, 'Why be Enlightened?'
To be Spiritually Awakened, we are frightened!
We live and die, we don't find out, 'Who am 'I'?'
We look at the sky and cry and ask, 'Why?'
And get caught in Roadblocks and don't get Awakened
What are the Roadblocks that lock the door?
There are many fetters, more and more
Ignorance and desires, the Ego and the Mind
Achievement and Attachment leave us far behind
Let us discover the Roadblocks, twenty-four
Ignorance is a Roadblock caused by the Mind
We can't see Enlightenment, we become blind!
We want Enlightenment but we are in doubt
We need to remove these, throw them out
When we clear these blocks, the Goal, we will find!
Desires make us burn, desires create greed
We don't get Enlightened, fulfilled in our need
We run after Achievement, seeking Success
We don't get Enlightened, we land up in a mess!
But when we clear the roadblocks, we find Happpiness!
What is Attachment? It is clinging
It is the cause of all suffering
All this is caused by the rascal, the Mind
**** the Mind or you will be dead, you'll find!
We must clear these Roadblocks for our Awakening
Enlighten the Ego that stands tall as a wall
We can't Awaken unless the Ego has a fall
The Body too blocks us with the senses, five
In desires and passions, we sink as we dive
To be Enlightened, we must remove Roadblocks, all
Then, relationships stop us, our own dear people
They create limitations, they make us feeble
In this Samsara, we are lost, we sink
The world makes us weak, we think and we blink!
We don't reach the peak, we are stopped at the steeple
Responsibilities limit us, yes, our worldly duty
It stops us from Enlightenment, the real beauty
With passion we live, we are caught in lust
We must remove this, it is a must
Otherwise, we'll suffer and not realize that we are Divinity
Many of us are caught in shame
Living in regret, we lose the game
We don't understand Maya, it's a Cosmic Illusion
Nothing is real, we are lost in the confusion
To clear all these Roadblocks, must be our aim
This world is a Leela, it's a Divine Show
We are just actors, we come and we go
We are afraid to be Awakened, we live with fear
We miss the Bliss, the cheer that is so near
Clearing the roadblocks, we must grow
Sometimes knowledge becomes a limitation
Too much of it, stops our Realization
We pray to God and believe in our Religion
But Religion can never lead to God-Realization
When will we be free from these and have Illumination?
Everything in Life is Karma, the Law of Action
We get trapped in our Action and Reaction
Instead of having Love and Longing for God
We get stuck and go far from our Lord
We must clear Roadblocks and reach our Destination
To be Enlightened, we need a Guru, a Master
Without a Guru, Life is a disaster!
Another Roadblock in our Life is our Priority
We seek the material world and lose our Tranquillity
If we remove these Roadblocks, we will get there faster
Many of us are unaware of Enlightenment
This becomes the Roadblock, we are stuck in Achievement
We have everything, then why be Enlightened?
This is a roadblock that stops us from being Awakened
What a pity, this is such an embarrassment
We have listed Roadblocks, twenty-four
What these do, they lock the door
We must clear them, one by one
Then, the war of Enlightenment will be won
Discover that Life is more than what we know
The Journey of Life is all about Enlightenment
It's not about achieving Success, living in Achievement
Unless the Roadblocks, we wipe out and clear
To attain God, we will not even get near
And we will miss living a Life of Fulfillment!

Why should I worry, it was just a Dream
It is not real, no need to scream
A Dream is an Illusion, though vivid it may seem
But Life is different; Life is real
Don’t we all suffer, don’t we all swirl?
Very few go deep to discover the treasure, the pearl
What is this Journey of Life on earth?
What is the Purpose of our human birth?
Is there a way to live with Joy and Mirth?
We all live with suffering and strife
We laugh, we cry, we endure Life
But we don’t cut through to the Truth with a knife
Just like a Dream, Life is an Illusion
Very few of us get this Realization
We don’t use our power of Discrimination
Just like what happens in a Dream is not true
Life is nothing but an Illusion too
I am not ‘I’ and you are not ‘you’
Little do we realize what is our role
Dreams and Reality will take us to the goal
Which is to discover we are but the Soul
When are we going to start our Quest?
Not just Dream, but get out of our nest
Realize Life is an Illusion, get to the crest
Just like Dreams are not real, so is Life
Needlessly we suffer, we cry with strife
With misery, pain, sorrow, life is rife
But we can be Happy if we Realize the Truth
Overcoming sorrow, getting to the bottom of the root
If we realize it’s a Drama, we can enjoy the fruit
Do you worry about the Dream that you saw at night?
You wake up to realize that there was no fight
Life is good, it's shiny and bright
But Life is different, we continue to cry
We suffer, we question, we look at the sky
We cannot differentiate between the truth and the lie
Just like a Dream, Life is an Illusion
It is a long Dream that ends in disillusion
Because of ignorance, there is no Illumination
We think Life is real, it’s not just a Dream!
And so, we suffer, and so we scream
When we realize the truth, life will flow like a stream
If only we Discriminate and open our eyes
Life is just an Illusion, once we realize
We can be in Bliss with nothing to analyze
Life is a Journey, we come and we go
Little do we understand this earthly show
Our goal is to realize the truth, and not just know
We are not the Body that goes to sleep
We are not the Mind that makes us weep
Nor are we the Ego that wants everything to keep
When we realize what we are not
In Thought no more will we be caught
The Truth in front of our eyes will be brought
The Journey of Life has a Purpose
Not to jump like a clown and make Life a circus
Once we realize the Truth, we will never be nervous
We all commit the Greatest SinWe don’t realize that God is within
How will this battle of life we win?
When Dream and Reality, we contemplate
And the difference between the two, we discriminate
We will arrive at heaven’s gate
Did you decide your human birth?
Did you decide how you came to earth?
No, it’s Karma that governs the earth
When we realize that the earth is a stage
The Drama unfolds by Karma, page by page
Then, we will be free from the misery cage
Those who realize that Life is a Drama
Those who discover everything is Karma
Realize that just like a Dream, there is no trauma
Just like a Dream, Life is an Illusion
Once we get this Divine Realization
We will know that everything is a Manifestation
We are different Souls, so do we see
The Truth is that weare Divine energy
Everything is one, there is no you and me
Life is like a Dream, when we realize this
Like after a Dream, there is no unhappiness
But for this, we need Consciousness
As long as in ignorance we are bound
We will suffer as we live on the ground
Till the ultimate truth is found
What is the Purpose of reading this book?
It is to change your Life’s outlook
But first, you must be free from the ignorance hook
So, it’s time to start
And pull the myth apart
And this is to learn the Spiritual art
The Ultimate Truth is everything is an Illusion
Even Science has declared with Discrimination
This world is nothing but a Manifestation
