Oh Friend, sit on the ground!
reach forward and place your hand firmly
on the bare earth . . .
And now: reverse the question you've wasted
countless lifetimes asking.
You are not here to challenge or to prove
whether God exists or is real.
God by whatever worshipped name or form -
God exists, and alone is real.
So what is left?
You are here to challenge and to prove
whether you exist, whether you are real.
And the pain therein is really poignant.
When the ego becomes selfless,
through love, through grace:
the Self which remains will be the answer
which uproots the question.
You will know without effort
who exists and what is real.
In the meantime you meditate in action,
growing consciousness.
Have fun with it.
