Sequel to 'Drop your Guards'

Through her re ignition into Vipassanna meditation, she definitely was awakened to the fact that if there is pain or suffering in life, the cause of experiencing the misery was all within. Was difficult for her to come to terms with this as an acceptable realization, but arrive she did!

It is the giving in to the sensation that perceives the pain that creates the chain reaction of aversion or craving that entangles us into a perennial cycle of pain and ephemeral pleasure. But the act of pure observation enables a being to float upwards in water just as effortlessly as when he loses his life than when he is feverishly trying to save himself with his arms and legs flailing about...


More than anybody else
It is oneself,
one is to keep the guards intact against
with the undesired waiting to jump on,
And the coveted forever evading.

The first phase of life
The cause for pain was outside…
Completely out there.

Time passed on and
brought the cause closer…
at least half, within oneself.

Now as the lights were turned on,
breaking one open from the cocoon of sleep,
brought the cause completely within.
For the guards inside, when vigilant  
knew, the moment the thieves enter
and no way can the the elements sustain
when the housekeeper is ready
to take them on.

He cannot afford to doze off now...
the remnants of the drowsiness
Keep trying to overpower
That’s where the sleep is
to be rubbed off the eyes.
