Lord Krishna, Jesus, Allah, Buddha – Whom do you call?
The heavens, the earth, hell – where do you fall?
The church, the mosque, the pagoda, the synagogue, the temple, the gurudwara – which is your prayer hall?
Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jew – who is your pal?
The Vedas, the Bible, the Koran, the sciences – are you confused by all?
Varanasi, Vatican, Jerusalem, Mecca, Gaya, Amritsar -which is small?
Theism, atheism, communism, rationalism, consumerism, etc. – what is truth after all?
Ashrams, Missionaries, Dargahs, Monasteries, etc. – peace can they install?
Yogic institutions, scientific institutions, medical, spiritual, political institutions etc. – peace can they stall?
Society, family, nation, race, international – with whom do you play ball?
Wife, mother, father, friend, boss, son, girlfriend, etc. – who is your all-in-all?
Lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, envy and ego – are you whose thrall?
Of course, to understand what the truth is very, very, very difficult after all.
