LADDER OF LIFE – perspective shifts through appropriate distance and detachment - Yogacharini Maitreyi

What I see from down below  Looks different from the top The tiger does not scare any more And all confusion stops So I’ve learnt to distance From boors in my face Many steps back And then I feel safe Oh how freeing to take A step up the ladder of life Applying Viveka or discernment and Vairagya, distance and detach with time To discern and emotionally detach From things that don’t match My souls longing And vision for life With distance the tiger looks beautiful I’m even happy to be spotting some Or wait, was that just a kitty cat That had me run Aah, The joys of stepping up You need to head butt no more Old attachments pull less at your heartstrings Loved ones leave you less sore So step up dear ones On the ladder of life Your perspective shifts And you miss the unwanted argument and fight. And the higher the steps The lighter you feel Less and less tug at you More time to relax and heal Feeling the joy of every moment No more fight or flight One can enjoy ones own company, Commune as well as have mass appeal But that sharing comes From a safe space One has created for oneself By stepping out of the rat race The confidence comes With taking the time To be alone on the Ladder of life Yogacharini Maitreyi is a Practical Mystic and trains Arkaya Yoga teachers and Enlightened Leaders around the world.
