Power of Consciousness

The Song of the Sufi Masroof

 Neither test is designed to fail, nor temptation the evil it is made to be,
 To know the winds of change, test the waters of courage, failure and inadequacy knock our gates,
 It’s then a choice is made, to be fearful or brave, to hide or to face,
 In making a conscious choice, we stumble upon that part of ourselves that has the power to transform,
 It’s the power of consciousness, the fire in the sun and the energy in an atom,
 An all-pervasive grand design that the Buddha set out to find over six long years,
 What he found transformed him from a man to a religion,
 Such is the power of consciousness, it makes reality out of dreams and messiahs out of men.
