Remove yourself from the saintly and pure. Get past your rites and rituals. You are joy transcendent. You are an infidel among the pious. Let religion go its own way. Follow the way of the path. This is your natural course. Dogma can lurk in the brambles to hold sway over your journey. Avoid its entanglements. Its thorns can leave you torn and bloody. Walk your true path step by step without faltering. You will reach the river’s edge. Enter the flowing water. To be in that flow is to know your own true nature and its course to the sea. The sea does not hide from you. It awaits, knowing that you will return. Like rain falling on mountain tops, you will return to know joy as your true nature.
