Gradual Enlightenment

by stewart

Learn to see those things

Which you must do

And those things

Which God/Light must do?

The spiritual traveler who recognizes the difference

Is on their way to enlightenment.

 

Most travelers expect enlightenment

To arrive in a flash of over whelming awareness.

They imagine it is like turning on

A lamp in their home.

This is our expectation and desire for haste;

This stems from our greed.

 

The enlightenment process is much slower

And knowledge comes in stages.

And once the Light is on

It cannot be turned off

As easily as hitting a switch.
