Blinded by money, power, and prestige

Is it the purpose of our lives
to accumulate money and things,
to chase after titles and prestige,
to have power and control over others,
to be a slave to endless desires?

Or is it rather not that,
that divides us from our unity,
humanity as a whole,
as brother and sister
in the ocean of life,
in the collective consciousness,
whatever name we give it
for the nameless One,
who does not divide but unites,
connects us all together
as a drop of endless being?

Greed for money, power, prestige
divides us from each other,
is an expression of ego and duality,
makes us blind and deaf
for reality,
for the truth
to keep us trapped
in the labyrinth of our mind

What is necessary?
To change our point of view…
