The Great Disappointment

Realisation is disappointing.
It’s no big deal.

And even though we realise what we are,
a great sadness arises
as others haven’t yet realised that they are pure consciousness.

This is where the real work begins
in developing compassion through our conduct.
Before realisation, there can be no compassion; just superior pity.

In disappointment, expectations cease,
and we deal with each emotion as it emanates.
