Essence of life
Preachers told me
Speakers tried to motivate
To hunt for the core
Essence of my life
I tried to find, deep inside
Dug hard as I could
For a long time
But emerged in the end
On the other side
Quite empty handed
Was surprised and sad
Then consoled myself
It’s better to be empty
Than a spiritual long face

Perhaps this search of yours has lead you to self discovery?
Rather discovering my self bit by bit everyday. And that there are no set paths to it. Just a bit of day to day reflections help. Most of the time while taking bath or brushing teeth and doing other rather inane routine things.
That’s mostly how we do it. There’s no big reveal.
