I see the Light… turn my back… and walk away

Mirages in the desert are illusions, unreal and temporary. Unlike this ephemeral phenomena, I see the Divine Light… and yet… I turn my back… and walk away.

What is so alluring about the darkness? Why do I try to hide in the shadows? Almost like a dream sequence, I see myself as a figure being pulled irresistibly towards the glimmer of lust, greed, jealousy, avarice, pride, anger – even as the eyes and the heart remain guilty, as the bazaars of the world tantalise.

With each step further away from the Light, I forget my true nature… I forget my soulful qualities of love, compassion, acceptance, oneness and forgiveness. With each diminutive choice, I descend.

I begin to demand, have expectations and judge people based on my own self-established parameters… forgetting that each individual is unique, and yet a part of the lord’s own creation.

Somewhere towards the end of the enraged captivating march, armed with the lancet of ego, lies in a heap, my Self, most broken, wounded and dissatisfied.

Ego prevents acceptance of others and my own Self.

This chaos, this turmoil keeps me restless and resentful, unable to focus, unable to be in the now.

Even as the ghosts of the past and uncertainties of the future continue to flurry me relentlessly amidst the darkness, I pause to wonder – Why can’t I gaze steadfastly at the Light… allowing the darkness to fade away?
