Poem: Existence

Open the window of your soul.

Nothing here belongs to you

Nothing


Neither this body

Who you think is you

Neither the people

Whom you call parents, spouse, children


Nor the titles

Of being so and so

Not any of the objects

House, money, machines


Nor the thoughts

Not a single thought is yours

Nor the feelings

Whether positive or negative

Not this breath either.


If you think any of this is you or yours

You are living in a balloon of illusion

That is going to burst sooner or later


Everything belongs to existence

Even you.


Become one with that existence

Leaving your little self behind.


And then everything belongs to you

All the people

All the objects

All the titles

All the thoughts

All the feelings

All the breath

The entire existence.
