Meditations

Beyond words and desires,

There is an underlying Reality that unifies everything.

This Reality and the method to perceive it

Is the birthright of humanity.

In their journey through this world,

Most travelers become distracted

And fix on all manner of things.

In a sense these things become their reality

And then have no need of anything higher.

* *

Brief is our stay in this world.

Yet as we disconnect

From our higher nature,

These hours seem like an eternity.

* *

Many make religion too complicated a thing.

Religion should be natural;

A joy and as refreshing

As a clear, cool drink of water.
