May I seek awareness
Self-consciousness is you
From the outside looking in
And seeing all that is ugly
Self-awareness is you
From the inside looking out
And seeing the beauty of all
Ego-consciousness seeks to
Subjugate and dominate all that is
Not bound by its rules of reason
Ego-awareness seeks to
Liberate the self from the bondage
Of its own rules and injunctions
And a consciousness that is aware
Sees neighbours and also the sun
And is with all as is with none
Without condemning the soul to be
Attended by the hound of identity
