You are blessed
to have been ignorant of your own beauty
until now.

For if you had known of it,
if you had allowed yourself
to feel and open to this light,

captivated and contented,

you would have lost all interest in the things of this world,
and our shared existence would be infinitely darkened
by the shadow of your absence.

Perception is the vessel through which this world emerges.

Seeing this, you free the world from the binding power of your imaginings.

Knowing this, you glimpse the infinite within yourself, like the warrior Arjuna beholding his Lord on the field of battle, knowing in that moment that victory was his, and yet that it belonged not to him, and that there was no need to fear.

Being this, perception itself becomes an act of revolution.
