CHECKING THE SELF

No matter how good a car or its driver,

if the car isn't regularly checked

there will be problems

In the same way,

If one moment I am happy, but in the next moment I'm not

something is wrong

with the vehicle of my mind

and I will need to check it out

Check the smoothness of its flow

Is there purity? Has there been truth?

What about ego versus self-generated respect?

How much grief am I causing another?

Where are my weaknesses? How can I grow?

Checking these regularly and keeping them in shape

will deliver you to the destination

Carelessness in this will slow you down

Like getting stuck in a storm

you will feel yourself in a rut

So instead keep yourself tuned and ever-ready

Meditate at length, take power and love

Teach yourself how to be generous-spirited

and never stop giving
