Steps

You were a seeker,
and sought.

Now as a student,
will be taught.

Then be a teacher,
to another guide.

Then a master,
with all inside.

Let it be known
to all the above –

You are bound to
Light and Love.

If any of you
should go astray.

A debt incurred –
be immediate to pay.

This was explaining to me the cycle we each go through – sometimes repeatedly within one lifetime.
