Unsettling and powerful – my Lord simultaneously
deconstructing the world and my self-image,
 
each task revealing an inherent, sustained perspective
that creates, moment to moment, the illusion
 
of a stable and continuous existence experienced
separatively by a misconception I call myself.
 
This ongoing and original error  
requires the ultimate disillusionment –
 
a loss of faith and trust in every conditional thing
I take now to be true.
 
O child of God, hold tightly to His damaan
while everything collapses around you.
