MASTERY OF SELF

The search for your Divinity
May make you feel alone
But the empty in the feeling
Is the echo to come home

Away from the illusions
That so easily are found
In your base nature'd emotions
That keep you feeling down

You can never be alone
You share an ocean true
With a multitude of spirits
Who are seeking just like you

We continue with the struggle
Cause we feel we’re separate
As we’re left with the emotions
From the loves that didn’t stick

We feel we’re on our own
When we yearn for human touch
And the hands that we desire
Are so wrong they ask too much

What ails the modern man
Is not learning from within
From the path of your enlightenment
That the first few steps begin

It is not emotions
That make us all the same
But the image of our likeness
And Peace it’s only name

Life is but the practice
For the Mastery of Self
Beyond these strong emotions
Is the key to eternal health

We must overcome our habits
Of the way that we react
So when we ask our God for help
We can hear Him answer back
