Many who have lived without contemplating the Self grow older and grasp onto their grandchildren, playing golf or rummy to give meaning and joy to their lives.
To fill the emptiness.
Their entire life has consisted of applying band-aids to their soul.
They have confused God’s shadow to be God itself. They have lived mesmerized by form. Entangled in their emotions and the world.
Some have contemplated the self or are contemplating the Self and believe that they have arrived at great understanding.
They develop a spiritual ego. A spiritual persona.
Beware of such a pitfall.
The entire journey is not about you. Nothing about this journey is about you. It is about spirit.
It is about God. It is about Truth.
It is about the Self supreme. 
Are you willing to go there? To completely let go of yourself?
Holding on to nothing.
