TWINS
2009
Having drifted from the Spirit (SELF), a speck of it finds its
way through several layers of the field of Life gathering
around itself increasingly grosser matter to a point when it
becomes almost inert and so completely insentient. The
benevolence of the Spirit and the dynamic forces of life
progress it back on reverse track of evolution, through
succeeding states of life-forms from mineral to plant to
animal and to the human through several intermediate In Lasting
grades. In human form are named two distinct
components: the inner being, Soul (I) and an associate,
Relationship
Ego who for all purposes assumes functioning as though or
o/b/o, the Soul, though no such authorization issues from
the living Soul. This ego behaves as I and more often than
not, thickens the material envelope of the Soul, unless the
process is reversed by the Soul by some means. The Soul
and the pseudo person, ego, have lasting association…..

TWINS
-In Lasting Relationship

Uncertain, indecisive, skeptical

And ever-in-anticipation
This ego unsure of itself and others
Of what it wants and needs to be given
Remains all through unclear
Deceptively active for salvation
I, (SELF) like a witness intervenes never
In the deliberations and working
Of I (Soul) and ego apart from enlightening
Transactions of these become known
By this very nature of the SELF

I just grew up, no certain goal or ambition

No deep desire to achieve or dreams to realize
Excepting those fleeting ones
Living seemed inevitable, as I feel
I am in the field of life, not that I am living
Never feel that I am breathing so as to live
But because breathing happens I am alive

Never feel there is need to do anything

Barring those for basic necessities
Yet the ego makes me do many things
Never like unleashing my senses
To enjoy pleasures the body craves
Except when ego stirs me up to restlessness
To get out of routine and thrill itself

We hear many saying,

What matters is to be happy
Never mind whatever happens
To oneself or anyone else related
For this life is a fleeting one and passes
Whatever is meant by happiness
Joy or cheerfulness, for certain

I am aware most of many instances

The ego had good times
Of many sensual pleasures, and
Of psychological gratification I had
Sometimes, inflicting pain to dear and near
Not by intention but by ego’s need to assert
Its differing views in and about living

Dense and ever desirous of strengthening,

The ego, product of ignorance, is as real
And eternal as the Soul, the inner being
At individual or universal levels
Without one the other seems
Not to exist, recognizable, and knowable

Just as any object and its shadow

In the presence of light
Perfect twins, Soul and ego
Come and cease together
Real only being dependent on each other
To think that I live same as admitting
The presence of ego, source of impurity
No matter how subtle it is

One is conscious when SELF, Soul (and ego) are true

To be constantly conscious that I ‘am’ the I, pure sentience, the reflector
And not the Soul ego-infested, the reflected, is the key to be unbound
By pleasures and pains of this conditioned life
Created and nurtured through senses, thoughts and feelings
The Soul fully rid of ego in time
May loose itself once absorbed in SELF
