To change the personality through efforts
Of Discrimination, Dispassion and Detachment
That will eventually lead to Enlightenment
Through him, man has for the first time grasped the cause
Off his constant distaste, dissatisfaction and remorse
And that where these three attitudes [3D’s] are present on earth
There is rapid release from the wheel of rebirth.
Through discrimination, the mind learns to
Select the good, the beautiful and the true
And to substitute these for the sense of identification
With the personality in manifestation
[This is the first method of attaining liberation
From the three worlds of manifestation
A realisation of the duality of nature
Where spirit uses matter to mature]
Through Dispassion the body of emotion
Becomes immune from the senses in motion
And desire fails to deter the soul
From its rightful task and goal
[Through dispassion and the balancing
Of the pairs of opposites through life cleansing
He can free himself from emotional reactions
Moods, feelings, desires and imperfections]
Through detachment, the brain consciousness
Is withdrawn from the sense cognizance
By the imposition of a new rhythm in realisation
Outside the world of sensory perception
[We are not only attached to things physically
But also things psychologically
It can be a thing or a person or a place
Your self-image, belief system or your race]
Hereby the personality can be changed and in reality
Be prepared to be a conscious expression of divinity
It will bring in the rule of wisdom and preparation
Of the disciple for initiation
DISCRIMINATION
This is the first method of attaining liberation
From the three worlds of manifestation
A realisation of the duality of nature
Where spirit uses matter to mature
Through a union of two polarities
Each with his own peculiarities
In reality one is real
The other unreal
This is admitted as a logical basis
And the theory is tested out in phases
In an effort to prove the truth
From the un-truth
The aspirant then reaches the goal
Of spirit manifesting through the soul
In the affairs of every day he strives
To discriminate between the forms and lives
Between the soul and the body,
Or man in his physical, astral and mental body
Between the sum total of the lower manifestation
And the real self, the cause of the lower manifestation
Every day he cultivates a consciousness of the real
And a denial of the unreal
While distinguishing between the self
And the undesirable not-self
He concentrates more on the affairs of the spiritual world
Than the maya or forms of the physical world
This distinction is at first theoretical and intellectual
Then emotional physical and factual
The following of this method of unification
Lead to a new dimension and identification
With a life and a world of being that is forever
Dissociated from the three words of human endeavour
Thus he learns to know not only the form
But also the subjective Reality behind the form
Which produces or causes the manifestation
Of the forms through the whole of creation
DISPASSION
Of the pairs of opposites through life cleansing
He can free himself from emotional reactions
Moods, feelings, desires and imperfections
Thus he can with ease
Reach the point of peace
That he needs for further penetration
Into spiritual liberation
It is the tool to bring this great change about and man
The victim of his desires and lower nature can become man
The victor, and triumph over flesh and evil
Without any upheaval
It is brought about when the lower self
Becomes aware of the higher self
When the soul is reflected in the mind
And can deliver in kind
Through non-attachment to the lower
He identifies himself with the higher
He becomes desireless
He can handle loneliness
He sees all in the light of eternity and not of time
He is not attached to anybody and holds no grime
He does not criticize in thought, word or deed
He learns to live as a soul; free from body need
Life becomes a field for service and new conception
And not a field of sensuous perception
He does his duty and meets every need
And frees himself from ties and bonds in deed
As the sun draws near and vivifies the earth
Naught can it take from out the earth
Likewise he lives through giving
With no thought of receiving
The love of the soul and the qualities
Of wisdom demonstrated through activities
Are brought together on earth
And a pure spirit comes to birth
DETACHMENT
But also things psychologically
It can be a thing or a person or a place
Your self-image, belief system or your race
This can block out all new truths and reality
Where analysis becomes a distorted actuality
Seen through your own historical perspective
And an imagination that stays ineffective
The emotional body develops likes and dislikes at random
Some come easily and are easy to abandon
Other attachments become central to one’s life
And are not easily relinquished through strive
Attachment is related to form and create
A non-fluidic, non-growing, static state
Where evil works against evolution
And detachment becomes the solution
Detachment is related to consciousness.
And moving away from a distorted mindfulness
Through separation from form
To where better judgement is the norm
In the first condition above we have an emotional focus
That is corrected most often through a mental focus
Where mental clarity is the hammer
To smash emotional glamour
In the second condition we have an attachment totality
Of the physical-emotional-mental bodies of personality
That is rectified through soul focus
That knows the real from the bogus
This is not the detachment of self-isolation
Aloofness or self- fortification
But soul detachment which works from higher perspective
That makes everything in life more attractive
Seeing everything in life and the goal
Through the light which streams from the soul
Regarding everything from the standpoint of eternity
And related to the Holy Trinity
