Enlightenment is a Gamble


by Adyashanti


Time to cash in your chips,

put your ideas and beliefs on the table.

See who has the better hand,

you or the Mystery that pervades you.


Time to scrape the mind’s [shzt] off your shoes,

undo the laces

that hold your prison together

and dangle your toes into emptiness.



Once you’ve put everything

on the table;

once all of your currency is gone

and your pockets are full of air,

all you’ve got left to gamble with

is yourself.


Go ahead, climb up onto the velvet top

of the highest stakes table.

Place yourself as the bet,

Look God in the eyes

and finally

for once in your life

lose.
