Self-Imposed Lyrics

What you see is nothing but yourself.

Through the film of destiny

A light depicts pictures on the screen.

It`s self-selected, self-imposed.

All happens in consciousness.

When you look at anything

It`s the ultimate you see.

- the ultimate -

You think you see a stone, a cloud or a tree.



Hungry, thirsty, longing,

Searching and seizing,

Holding, losing and suffering.

All your going and coming,

Seeking pleasure, loving and hating –

All this shows: you don`t know the source.



You were not born, they told you a lie.

It`s just an idea that was born and shall die.

The cognition hurts me, they told me a lie.

It`s just an idea that was born and shall die.



On realization, you feel complete,

Free from the pleasure-pain complex.

Pain and pleasure go together.

Freedom from one is freedom from both.
