Spirit does not will

 

In willing, one desires, and

In desiring, expresses preference.

 

In preferring, one compares, and

In comparing, makes distinctions.

 

Distinguishing creates an “other,” and

Where there is “other,”

There you will find Self,

There you will find ego. 

 

Spirit is as much man’s birthright as flesh.

As spirit is spirit, and flesh is flesh,

Spirit is not of the flesh.

 

Not of the flesh,

Spirit is without Self, without ego;

Without ego, spirit is without will.

 

Without ego, without Self, without "other,"

There is nothing that spirit compares,

There is nothing that spirit prefers; 

There is nothing that spirit desires, 

There is nothing that spirit wills.
