The force that guides my destiny was set in motion before time began.
Knowing this, how could I have Thoughts, Desires, or Possessions to cling to?
Without Thought, Desire, or Possession to bind me, How could I know the fear of an imprisoned spirit,Or the pain of a chained heart?
How could I find anything but Inner Peace?
In the comfort of Peace, am I not Detached and at Ease?
Shall I not see the true nature of myself and others as we truly are?
Knowing Anger, I have been introduced to ViolenceAnd rejected it for Kindness.
Tasting Fear, I have swallowed bitter CowardiceAnd rejected it for Courage.
Entertaining Hatred, I have sat down with Evil and rejected it for Friendship.
Carrying Pain & Loneliness, I set down my burdenAnd rejected it for Inner Silence.
From my Inner Silence I understand all these things and more.
And when again I am troubled with Anger, Fear, Hatred, or Loneliness,I will know it is only because I have forgottenThe force that rules my fate.
It is in remembering that I will again find FreedomAnd work to free others.
Through Freedom I will find CompassionAnd surrender to my Fate,In Surrendering to my FateI will finally know Source as I am known.
