When Consciousness Is Deceived …

When consciousness is deceived,
we are deceived.

Deception is everywhere.
This is why the view of enlightenment is uncommon.

Who talks about realisation of the nature of reality?
We are so distracted that it never even occurs to us.

Information/gossip from others constantly deceives us,
so that we obliterate
the realisation of what we are.

Enlightenment is, ultimately, the pure realisation of reality.
The continuity of this depends on our seeing the ‘light’ in the ‘darkness’.
