Infinite . . .

(from The Inner Reaches Of Outer Space; Metaphor As Myth And As Religion by Joseph Campbell [from the Chhandogya Upanishad])
". . . When [in the world] one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, recognizes nothin else; that is [participation in] the Infinite. But when one sees, hears, and recognizes only otherness; that is smallness. The Infinite is the immortal. That which is small is mortal. . . Verily the one who sees this way, thinks and understands this way, takes pleasure in the Self, delights in the Self, dwells with the Self and knows bliss in the Self; such a one is autonomous (svaraj), moving through all the world at pleasure (kamacara). Thereas those who think otherwise are ruled by others (anya-rajan), know but perishable pleasures, and are moved about the world against their will (akamacara). . . "

The Difference. . .

. . . between. . .

. . . self-confidence and egotism is very fine.  Self-confidence is, in truth, ego but with some restraint whereas egotism is demonstrated externally.

There is no better illustration of this difference than that of musicians.  And adding insult to injury is the musician who possesses egotism in an amount disproportionate to their actual talent.

You've always been . . .

. . . ahead of me . . .

One fact that I
In my infinite wisdom
Could not always see
But in the end you always convinced me
Things aren't always
What they appear
The things I've always looked for

Once long ago before we met
I thought I could
Single-handedly make the
Spinning world go away
Just like some king
from back in those bygone days
But I was wrong
I don't belong
Inside this category

Seemed to be
At the time to me
To my advantage
Missing why
Not knowing
When to try
To start believing
In my
Very own
Self
Determination

Sometimes at night
When I'm alone
The solitude
And the quiet can bring out
All the worst in my head
But now it seems that isn't to big or bad
I've learned a thing
Or maybe two
And just ahead
There's
Always
You

ALWAYS YOU
