To be of service
To mankind.

Watching me
While I was bathing in His Sea

The ancient pathWas to see God
Face to face.

About religion and scripture.
What a stupid path!

This morningGod’s Compassion-Eye
Wiped away the sad differences
Between my heart-approach
And my mind-approach
To God-realisation.

The heart’s wayIs to be possessed by God.
75
My soul has banishedDoubt and suspicion,
Jealousy and insecurity
From my heart-kingdom.
