DISCRIMINATION [a poem]

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
