THE MASTER OF SELF

The problem with people today, is that they worry about things they cannot control
They worry about death,
They worry about love,
They worry about sickness,
They worry about the end of the world,
They worry about the intensity of the sun,
THey worry about too much rain,
They think its not good for them,
But what is good?

Is heavy rain not good for the farmers?
Is heavy rain not bad for the travellers?
Isnt too much sun bad for those in the desert?
Isnt too much sun good for those in winter?
Then what is good and what is bad?
Good is only good for the person who experiences it,
So is bad
And people experience different dimensions of life,
In that case, good and bad dont exist
It just is
Good and bad need each other
so does love and hate
so does peace and war
You cannot love someone without hating them
You cannot create peace without having war

Its all going to get better they said,
Better for who?
Better for you or for your oppressor
Arent you as important as him?
Arent you as relevant as him?
Arent you life?
Arent you beautiful?
Arent you competent?
So why not fight for you?
Do not confuse peace with cowardice
Everything good has to be fought for
There is no peace without war
 
To think you have one personality is to be stupid
To think you have one self is foolishness
To think you have one life is being naive
You are love
You are hate
You are intelligence
You are sexiness
You are interesting
You are utterly boring
You are anger
You are happy
You are sad
anger cannot exist with happiness
But you are happy when you are angry
Hate cannot exist with sexiness
But you are hateful when you are sexy
And you are sexy when you are hateful
And you are also loving when you are sexy
THerefore being loving when hateful
Being hateful when angry
and loving when angry
and loving when happy
So being hateful when happy
With all these selves,
You must love
And you must hate
Then you are the master of the universe
The master of yourself

You cannot live your life chasing satisfaction
chasing content
This only brews misery
The universe is expanding
So you cannot contain it
So does your thoughts
So does your selves
You cannot be satisfied by it
You cannot be content
You cannot contain them
You cannot allow yourself to contain them
THis is to suffer
So allow them to contain you
Allow love to contain you
Allow hate to contain you
Allow anger to contain you
Allow happiness to contain you
Allow speed to contain you
Allow boredom to contain you
Treat them as equals
Because they are equals

This is how you create harmony within yourself
By allowing positive and negative to coexist
BY allowing peace and war to coexist
By treating them with the same intensity and importance
The same intensity and importance as breathing
By being comfortable with discontentement
By being satisfied with unsatisfaction
By being comfortable with discomfort
By giving up control
Then you have full control

You are perfect and beautiful with all your inequities
Because the darkness makes the light more intense
With all your scars,
With all your deformations
With your lack
With your ugliness
With your incompleteness
With your incompetence,
You are complete
So love the darkness
As it creates the light
Stop worrying over things you cannot control,
You cant fight death,
The only way to fight death is to live in a bubble wrap,
And in this you are already dead when alive,
And this is the worst thing you can do to yourself,
Because the world wants to live
You have to risk death to live
Anything without risk has no life
Anything without death has no life
To live you must die
This is not within your control
So let it be
