Admonition

My dearest SELF!

Bear all; and Do nothing!
Hear all; and Say nothing!
Give all; and Take nothing!
Serve all; and Be nothing.

Sai Krishna

We are the instruments
The Flutes on which
the Great One plays His melodies
Sometimes it is the pompous march of a Statesman ………

Again, the wailing of a beggar …..
Perhaps the heavy sound of a Dictator…
Or the lilting melody of a Dancer…
Artist, Poet……
The minor tones of refugee agony—or
Depicting war…
Pestilence …Karma’s grief…
And, yet, the Master‑Hand may play
the notes of Saint, Prophet …Savior…
Permeating the air with Peace
and Fullness of Pure Being…

ALL THESE, GOD PLAYS ON US

in perfect Harmony, if we are but tuned
in EVER READINESS
No matter what the melody
whether stately march—
or little tinkling notes…
of housewife’s song—

Each must be in tune
To make the perfect whole!
No one greater …nor lesser
Than the next; for
ALL make up
THE ONE, GREAT SYMPHONY
OF LIFE.
