41. Self-offering

```

The self-offering of the lower self

Is the self-offering

Of what we have temporarily accepted

As our own.

The self-offering of the higher self

Is the self-offering

Of something which we eternally are

But unfortunately

Are not aware of.

Our false life we are claiming as our own.

Our true life, natural life,

We are not claiming as our own.

The higher life is our true life.
