The paradox of spiritual growth.

You have full control,

Yet you must also surrender.

You can have anything you want,

Yet you must want for nothing.

You are physical,

Yet you are non-physical.

You must move to take action,

Yet you must become still to go within.

You are a wave in the ocean,

Yet you are the ocean itself.

You are someone and no one all at the same time.

Your ego implores you to stand apart,

Yet your soul takes you to the indescribable oneness.

You have no time,

Yet you have all the time in the world.

All of what we call reality is paradoxical.

Try to think too hard about what it all means and it will likely make no sense,

Yet it will make all the sense in the world.

You will feel overwhelmed by these words,

Yet they will bring you peace.

Either way,

All paradoxes get resolved when we reach a higher level of consciousness.
