You are not bound
You are not free
You are the lock
You are the key
You are the thought
You see but you are not
You are the one
That can see that thought
You are the Being
You think you are the Doing
Doing from the feeling
Feeling from the meaning
Do the doing that sets you free
Do take a step back and see
If the doing you canβt help doing
Is actually not You fleeing
Be the Being
Bound and Free
You are the lock
You are the key

Dear amazing readers,
This poem came to me, what feels like, a lifetime ago. From a very deep place of digesting and meaning and feeling. I wish to share it again as it comes asΒ a fresh experience to me today. There is a qualitative difference in the way we feel in life when you are ‘doing’ something to get something vs. ‘being’ something to find something. My mind went back to this poem as I listened to a podcast from Skylarity.
Please share your thoughts on my poem and then go the following link to listen to an elaborate description of what the difference in ‘doing’ vs ‘being’ looks like, in every aspect of life.

‘You are the lock
You are the key’- such wise words!
No one else but our own thoughts and deeds make us our prisoners and only they could give us freedom.
Great poetry with ease of flow! Loved it π

We are perennially locked in a cage limited by our assumptions, our thinking and our beliefs. Thank you for the reminder to unlock our limitations and embrace the world beyond us!

This is ridiculous again it is asking me to do this,I shall, only to make you know this.
I cannot even put my like here. No sooner it wants to take me to some place where in I have to give the details and it does not appear.
This has happened to me so many times on your blog. You may parse check.
