The Sea sprays

Only on he who is Alive

Those that know not

See not

~

Who amongst us

Can see the whole world?

There are those who claim, "I can see!"

But can they see the sky?

They state, "I can hear!"

But can they hear the morning bird?

They say, "I can smell!"

But can they smell the storm’s onslaught!

They claim, "I can feel!"

But do they know Hell!

They state, "I can taste!"

But do they know of the Toils of the honeybee?

Soundly

Do the king and bed mite

slumber

Consequence is Life!

Often we know what to do yet refuse to do it.

He who is unkind to animals

Is not Alive

To be Oneself is Life.

This is God

Is love

Besides love there is nothing

Be God fully

At the point of utter despair

Is Yourself!

Of the Divine

If a man denies Love

He denies Himself.

I am Life

What I am

I am

Life is the moment

This is God

Defines the mother

A mother's love for her child reaches beyond the child for it defines the mother

The child

Defines

The mother

To know another

Is to not be Alive.

For as long as one is incarnate one is Spiritually Dead.

~

Being born again can never be self-induced.

It is not an action, but an existence.

If one is born anew

One is indeed.

~

To be Born is not a process

But an instantaneous acceptance of Life.

This is to embrace God

~

Life is the question

Death the answer

Death is the question

Life the answer

The first two lines refer to one incarnation, and the last two to the next - death brings meaning to one's life and new life meaning to one's death.

To fight death

Is to resist Life

If you should sleep

Sleep well

So that when you rise

You are the sun

If a man be asleep

Let him sleep

For when he awakes

Awake indeed will he be!

Be not afraid to sleep

For how can one become Oneself

If one does not

Sleep twice?

To sleep once is to break the cycle of rebirth. The second sleep is to Transcend all things.

Breath!

To give love is to

But receive love.
