Sacrifice

The only things we are required to sacrifice
are our ills, our defects, our weaknesses, 

our shortcomings, our limitations;

in brief, we are required to remove 

the personal self and its imperfections from our world of existence.

The true self-sacrifice is that which refuses to permit
personal imperfections to rule in the personal life,
and gives up to the light, the power and the life of spirit.
