Path to Self-Realization

A path immensely painful as I must drop off all that lures me.

Truth and pursuit of it is the nutrient and that can only sustain me.

This world is illusory and now it is time to give it up.

This is also a path of excellence.

And if I move with rightful intent, I will get completely alone.

All will abandon and none would join.

But that will root out expectation and there is nothing left to realise.

When I am detached, desireless and aversionless.

It will take deathly patience but it is so worthy to pursue.

And I choose to tread this path, knowing there isn't any

But I choose to die in a worthy war than survive a deceitful one
