Being is what you are.
Nothing you do will make you more
or less
than that.
Whether you are a criminal
or a saint,
your state of Being is unchanged
and eternal.
Only the awareness changes.
Nothing you do in the world
will change
your state of Being.
Whether you are a good spouse,
devoutly religious,
a high achiever
or a dope fiend -
there is nothing to be done
to make you better or worse
at the level of
Being.
Building temples
does not bring about salvation
when nothing
needs to be saved.
Your state of Being is untouched
by this world.
The voice within the mind
that resists what has been said here
is the Doer.
The Doer seeks comfort
and invents stories of success,
righteousness and salvation
in order to manufacture
such a feeling.
But comfort is always temporary.
And so is pain.
Two sides of the same coin,
made of the same
ingredients.
And there appears to be no shortage
of things for the Doer to do
in this world.
But Being existed before
and exists after.
Doing
goes in circles.
Being
is
eternal.
