(Poetry) ํ•˜์‹ฌ (ไธ‹ๅฟƒ) | Lowering the Heart

  

๐Ÿ“ Summary

This poem, “Hasim (Lowering the Heart)”, reflects on the persistent shadow of ego that rises even when one bows, empties, and lowers oneself. It explores how comparison and attachment quietly remain within us, and how observing these inner movements becomes a path toward clarity and humility.

Condensed English Version

 

Even when I bow and humble myself,

a faint shadow of ego rises again.

 

Unless I rise beyond comparison,

the shadow remains.

 

Though I empty and empty,

attachment clings to life’s duration.

 

Today again, I watch my restless heart

and recall the meaning behind it.
