When
in John 2:19 it reads, “I will rebuild this temple...“
this
body was meant – his body, his temple.
Scrub
those walls clean, scrub yourself raw,
make
yourself holy, obey every rule and law!
He
also said, your piety is its own reward,
if
it's reward you're after you have it. Word
is
far more important than rules
and diet:
for
in the Beginning was it, so don't deny it!
When
the word, each syllable and letter's intaken,
on
the breath in devotion, out of sleep you'll be shaken.
The
prana
of conscious breath drawn
by concentration
of
will toward the Beloved, courses
through – anticipation
will
not help you here, but arduous patient dedication
and
service, living life to its fullest. And no easy sollution
will
make suffering go away,
that is the nature of our condition –
still,
when spirit is followed and ego is stilled there comes a fruition
of
love's tireless work, and
the body is temple, even that crucifixion
proved
the fulfillment, your temple's his Body – your body, and no
fiction.
