a sculptor chips away at stone
to reveal the image underneath
so too knowledge of yourself is gained 
by removing concepts

finding who you are by relating outside yourself
is like asking which star has the best position
everything is in the middle 
of where it needs to be
including you when you realize it

when you finally discover 
there's nothing you need do
to achieve the loftiest of spiritual goals,
whatever you do - don't try to do nothing

greater awareness comes from inner balance
inner balance comes from greater awareness
oh where to begin that which is done?
