DETACHMENT

Behind that mystery of yours
called “detachment”,
I grasp now what it all meant.

You gave me a lamp with a blue sky,
a secret manuscript of complete understanding,
a mental place for my new living.

Because of you,
I know what I want.

THE METHOD

Find the method
to feel safe
when no one is around.

Find the method
to motivate yourself
when there are no incentives.

Develop the inner force
that leads you
to wiser choices.

Shine with your behaviour.
Trust that you’ve found meaning.

Let life unfold but
shape your ways.

10- Inner knowing
