When we no longer carry ego's shield Or halberd of our insignificant thought And see in others enemies to yield On bloodstained fields in senseless battles fought,
When we no longer need the taste of tears And open to the wonder of it all, God from our shadowed background reappears Responding to the spirit's urgent call.
Then shall we truly wake and realize The One who in each living creature dwells, Who looks on us with calm compassionate eyes As light divine invades our human cells.
The lotus from the mire blooms above, So too our lives when visited by love.
