Self-Awareness Is The Great Boon Poem by Mohammad Younus

Self-awareness is the great boon.
But what is self-awareness?
Self-awareness has no single definition.
Self-awareness is knowing your divine self,
And bonding with it without a break.
Don't confuse it with your ego,
Which is a formidable barrier
Between you and the divine.
Once you realize your divine self,
You will know you are not a mortal,
Imprisoned in a bony frame.
You will realize,
That you are not compelled,
But rather you are a free being.
In your thoughts, actions, and deeds,
You are not under any illusion,
But enlightened and awakened.
Self-awareness will reveal the truth,
That you are not apart from One-reality.
You will see there is nothing in the world,
That you can label as ugly.
Rather, everything existing in the cosmos,
Is the exposed beauty of the Real Beautiful.
Self-awareness is both self-consciousness
And Divine Consciousness.
So self-awareness is realizing both:
Servanthood and lordship.
Self-awareness opens up a beautiful valley,
Of eternity and even beyond.
