Free spirit

In quest of knowledge, we gain each day,
In spiritual practice, we let go, they say.
Less and less force, till non-action is found,
In doing nothing, completeness is crowned.
True mastery flows, by letting things be,
Uninterfered, it sets the spirit free.

Free will

What makes you free is not what you own,
But the peace in what you let go.
Freedom lies not in what you gain,
But in the chains you disdain.

Attachment’s not in what you cling,
But in those who to you, they bring.
To be free is a life’s embrace,
Not a goal, but a boundless grace.

Illusion

Fear’s the grandest illusion of all,
Defense prepares us for a fall.
Misfortune lies in enmity’s glare,
But clear-sighted souls are always safe there.
