Detachment

Detachment

Think of your thoughts as clouds in the sky.

They come and go.

Is the sky or the clouds your focus.

The sky is never changing,

The clouds are always changing.

Know that you are truly like the sky,

Rather than the clouds.

Let your darker thoughts pass, 

In the same way those clouds pass.

Focus on your inner you,

Your centre of peace within your heart.

This is your own sky within,

It does not change.

Watch your thoughts as they come and go,

Without passing judgement

Or feeling distressed by some.

Pay no importance to them.

They are like lights,

Which flash but for a moment.

You are not your thoughts.

You are not your mind.

You are consciousness itself shared by all.

Like the cloudless sky

Pure in all its beauty.
