Understanding spiritual precept of 'being witness': Quintets

 • No reaction, no judgment, just pure observation.

I watch as the world drifts on by,

No judgment for what, how and why.

I let the things be,

In silence I see,

With not even one blink of an eye.

• No drama, no ego, just quiet creation.

Must work in the quiet and still,

With never a need for a thrill.

No ego, no fuss,

Just simple for us,

To create with a steady, calm will.

• Be the witness, do the deed, let the senses pass you by.

To act is the way to be free,

Let senses drift out to the sea.

Just watch as they go,

With no need to show,

And simply let everything be.

• Walk through the world, leave no trace, keep a clear and steady eye.

A traveler walks on the land,

With nothing held tight in their hand.

With eyes clear and bright,

They walk in the light,

Apart from the world as they stand
