The path of enlightenment is like learning to walk,
Some rely on canes, while others on crutches talk.
These are temporary aids on the journey we tread,
For those dependent on them, self-belief may be misread.

To truly walk, one must let go of external crutches,
Whether it’s breath, mantras, or thoughts that clutch us.
Knowing how to walk means trusting our own stride,
No longer relying on tools to be our guide.

The path of enlightenment lies deep within our being,
Where wisdom and truth are forever freeing.
Release attachments and find your own way,
Embrace the independence that comes when you sway.

No longer clinging to crutches or sticks,
Walk with confidence, as your spirit uplifts.
Discover the strength that lies deep within,
And embrace the journey, let it truly begin.

For knowing how to walk is to be self-reliant,
Not dependent on any external alliance.
Whether it’s the breath, the mantra, or the mind,
True liberation is found when you leave them behind.
