D-Day for Summa Iru — Birthday, Deathday and Liberation


It is round the corner, this D-Day
For my summa iru resolution
Also supposedly my birthday
I ask curiously in all earnestness
Tell me what was born? This body?
But I am told by all the sages
This body is NOT me, so?
You would of course say
But you do not "know" that
Not "knowing" something is a fact
Does not make it false
Ok, just for the moment
Even if I grant I am the body
Ain't there a possibility
That on some distant day in future
I could die on my birthday
That probability certainly exists
So, one could celebrate both
Because right now, what is alive?
What is real is the spirit, not body
The body is as good as dead already
But anyway, what is this false death
Real death anyway is that of the ego
But the ego does not exist, shit
This shit keeps getting complicated
I should just up and blow the candles
One fine day this candle is blown out.
