A charming but challenging joke.

Do you not believe me?

Then just try one!

Of the cosmic gods.

When I do not meditate,

When I do not serve,

I feel, without fail,

An abysmal helplessness

Inside me.

When we pray,

We see that there are other worlds.

When we meditate,

We bring down the sunlit worlds

Into our ordinary life. ```

Is already a severe punishment

From the higher worlds. ```

The opportunity-bird

Brings me the message

Of tomorrow’s all-illumining

Is the beginning

Of a safe and fulfilling

Heavenward journey.

“Look what I have given you,

And also what I am going to give you

In a twinkling.”

```

There Is Only One Right Way

There is only one right way

For me to go to God,

And that way is my heart’s

Unconditional surrender way.

Is especially proud of you,

For your monumental

World-responsibility?

```

Every Time I See God

Every time I see God,

The first thing He asks me

Is to gaze

Deep into His Compassion-Eyes.

```

God-Intimacy

God-intimacy, not world-supremacy,

Has to be your life’s breathless motto.
