We use the word ‘I’ roughly 200 times per day. It is used in almost every sentence. At least once a day we need to detach ourself from ‘I’ and become ‘we’. Giving ourselves to others is to find ultimate joy.

If we could rid ourselves

of ‘I’ we would understand

the reason why we are here

at all. It is not to ask

all the time for obedience

and love, to make others

thought forms of our imagination

but to accept they must be free

to develop their own personality

to perhaps, just ‘be’.

If we could rid ourselves of

‘I’ we would be releasing

ourselves, living our own lives

without fear and expectancy

of reward. Individuality and

freedom can be attained if we

could rid ourselves of ‘I’ and

in the giving find the ultimate

reason for living.
