When light dawned...

Desiring to liberate myself I was intense in my meditation practice
There has to be a release from attachments, desire's crude lattice
I have suffered intensely in their grip and seek to be entirely free
As otherwise life becomes an intolerable burden without any reprieve

I went about this task as I would any other lower goal, ego bound
I studied the methods adopted by adepts, seeking them where found
Scriptures were studied by me to find out about liberation's recipe
Perhaps I could memorize those and repeat my way to light's destiny

Or perhaps I should wait for a guru to show up in my seeking life
After all dont they say that a teacher appears when pupil is ripe?
This avatar shall then take me by hand and escort me to God's land
And I shall preen as the chosen one, part of a very select band

None of this came about and I was left distraught and sorely grieved
Where is the landmark, spirit's goal, that is home of those freed?
A light dawned in me when I realized where circular journey culminates
And my true destination was waiting within for self to interrogate
