Nothing Can Add to What Is Already Complete

I am the full moon,
Shining in the silent night.
No lamp can make me brighter,
No cloud can make me less whole.
I am complete as I am.

I am the endless ocean,
Rivers flow into me,
Rain fills my waters,
Summer brings its dryness,
Yet my depth remains unchanged.

I am the seed,
Holding the promise of a mighty tree.
Before the first leaf appears,
Before the first flower blooms,
The whole tree rests within me.

I am the mountain,
Standing tall and still.
I do not grow taller with praise,
I do not become smaller with doubt.
I remain what I am.

I am the lotus,
Floating gracefully upon the pond.
I need no decoration,
I need no approval.
My beauty is already within me.

Praise may come,
Blame may follow,
But neither can add to my fullness,
Neither can take away my worth.
I remain untouched.

I am the sun,
Shining without asking for more light.
I do not wait to become brighter.
Shining is my nature,
And fullness is my being.

I am like gold,
Whether resting in the earth,
Hidden beneath the mud,
Or shining in a royal crown.
My true nature never changes.

I am the endless sky,
Needing no more space.
I am the vast earth,
Needing no more ground.
Nothing is missing in my existence.

I release the endless desire to become more.
I release the belief that something is missing.
I stop searching outside myself
For what has always been within.

Nothing can add to me.
Nothing can take away from me.
I am not waiting to become complete.
I am already whole.

I am Absolute.
I am Complete.
I am Perfect as I Am.

I need nothing to make me whole.
I lack nothing to become the True Self.

I am beyond gain and loss.
I am beyond praise and blame.
I am beyond change and limitation.

I am the Fullness.
I am the Wholeness.
I am the Absolute.
I am the True Self.
