Selected Quatrains
3
There's a long distance journey we all have to make
going from one life to another through death's gate.
One life may not really be enough to achieve that goal
where the game we have to play requires a perfect role.
5
For the love of God and for those who are willing
everything according to His Will you'll be doing.
With mind, heart and body, all given to you for a while,
dedicate thought, speech and deeds to Him with a smile.
8
Love Divine is God's alone to give or withhold
this Love is priceless and cannot really be sold.
When we by seeking find that which is often sought,
we realize this Love is everything, all else is nought.
15
Do come and tell me any secrets you know
there are things of mystery you must know.
The secret of life might be revealed in a word
that which we need to know can also be heard.
26
Love is the power that makes the world go round
and helps keep both our feet firmly on solid ground.
Yet it has the virtue to lift us up when we are down
and to overcome obstacles which makes it renown.
55
Come, tell me of the struggles in your life my friend
and of the obstacles with which you had to contend.
Did they help you grow in wisdom, strength and compassion?
or did they overwhelm you with grief, fear and dissatisfaction?
60
The Cause of God is all mankind's greatest ideal
which is opposed by ridicule, ignorance and zeal.
The Cause of God is also that of Love and Truth
to be cultivated as great virtues from early youth.
74
Please tell us a true story of love that will bring tears to the eyes
there are those who are sick of listening to so many damned lies.
Only the truth and love can touch and pierce one's heart
the effect of which is a re-awakening of the spirit in part.
93
With all of the technology that's around these days
have we not in fact become enslaved by its ways?
It should be used towards the immediate benefit of all mankind
eliminating poverty, hunger, disease and to enlighten the mind.
100
We have all been brought into this world naked and empty handed
yet it is with our hands we acquire so much that has been branded.
Most things we have with name and form, out of the formless, are hand created;
through the medium of mind intelligence realizes what can or can't be fabricated.
104
Familiarity does often breed contempt
though with certain things it is exempt.
To have faith, trust and love in someone you do know
is what the art of true friendship is expected to show.
107
The Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ a long time ago was humbly born in a stable
though by His grace many have found peace and joy who were otherwise unable.
That glory of God manifested in human form was at the time very much awaited;
the work He came to do was to bring man back to God being too long separated.
136
There is no true love without joy arising from the hearts of the lover and beloved,
a certain feeling of bliss, when together, always sustains and keeps them covered.
When true love finds fulfilment between all those whom it has caught and found
everything they experience has a deeper significance in whatever comes around.
138
Great surely is the gift that bestows knowledge to you
and greater still if it guides one on the path that's true.
That person who has knowledge is the one of real worth
and worthier still if it’s wisdom beyond this human birth.
145
Do not ever pretend to be something that you are really not,
a hypocrite is someone who their own self have not fully got.
Yet being our real self is a state most of us seem to have lost
as we have allowed a false self to take control at a great cost.
162
Sometimes it is the innocent and meek who suffer mostly at the hands of others
because they're usually more happy in themselves not coveting things of others.
It's indeed a fact of life that one would turn against another for the most trivial thing
and then take extraordinary steps to hide their act that pain to the other does bring.
164
The rivers of the world all tend to flow toward the sea
and the love of the lover with the beloved longs to be.
In merging and uniting the sense of separateness does disappear;
the feeling of oneness is the experience that removes all our fear.
167
Look on the bright side of whatever situation life has placed you
be cheerful and have courage in doing the things you should do.
To live in gloom isn't what life's really about or only meant to be
but a celebration and joyful endeavour in the spirit of discovery.
171
In the heat and fires of passion where goes our sense of virtue?
yet whence comes the strength at crucial moments to subdue?
To succumb is weakness when things are getting you down and is a false living
but to remain steadfast and unruffled looking beyond the moment is endearing.
175
Don't allow your life to turn into a wasteland of dishonesty, enmity and deceit,
make of it a fragrant garden watered by good works using both hands and feet.
Remove the weeds of bad habits that only stunt those tender plants of virtues,
practice daily what you know deep in the fertile soil of your heart will help you.
195
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
is what we've been doing since our youth.
This is really a misunderstanding and an opposite view
of 'do unto others as you would have them do unto you'.
200
God takes care of those who take care of themselves we should know
but the more selfish we all become the farther away from God we go.
It's a matter of spiritual significance that's very hard for most to see;
there's a point beyond which if we go is not beneficial to us evidently.
203
The universe we know is supposed to contain all
from the largest objects down to the very small.
Yet everything in number is not even tantamount
to that Source of all within it which is Paramount.
206
There's only One God Eternal irrespective of how many religions there all are,
because each is a different path one takes to realize Him shown by an Avatar.
There are many races of people each with their own culture, language and locality,
which are all part of the One Human Race, that in unique ways worship that Deity.
218
The Truth is that which makes one free
and also the Light that helps one to see.
It's the source of all power and wisdom
and It exists eternally in blissful freedom.
224
If the body is the Temple of God then the inner chamber is a pure loving heart;
the thoughts of the mind the steps to the altar, the fires of devotion are the art.
Our field of activity is the Temple grounds, how we relate to each other the fellowship;
living in tune with God is our communion, sacrificing our false nature the true worship.
242
The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth is what the law demands
but then the law is based upon the truth by which is issued its own commands.
The truth is based upon Reality where there can't be any idea of falsehood,
Reality is in fact the Absolute or Supreme Being that is really all Godhood.
250
Love God for love's sake only because He really does also love you
and if you remember Him always He'll help you in whatever you do.
He's the light of true knowledge and knows everything there is or could ever be
being never at all very far He can reveal Himself in our heart that any may see.
254
It is medicine that's usually bitter to taste which most provides a lasting relief or cure
and also work that seems hard at the start which brings the best end--reward to secure.
How often it is that people are fooled by appearances as in judging a book by its cover
relying heavily on impressions that may be false due to their ignorance they'll discover.
260
From Being to becoming there is then an individualization
and from individuality to universality there is a realization.
From Oneness to manyness there is then a diversification
and from diversity to attunement there is also a unification.
261
When the little individual ego is gradually erased
the small self to the True Self is eventually raised.
With the enlightenment of a person's false nature
ignorance is removed to reveal their real stature.
263
Love is endless and love is free
love's everything to you and me.
Love is now and love will always be
love's everywhere to those who see.
267
Money can't buy one love because love is greater than money
yet money can help one find love which is sweeter than honey.
Money isn't everything but, in this world we find it sure goes a long way;
love of money is wrong and unless used to help others doesn't really pay.
268
People in positions of power in the world often encounter some form of corruption
and so can be either the cause of much progress to those they serve or disruption.
People often seek power for their own sake rather than for the good with it they can achieve
which is why the taste of power tempts many but only a very few its true glory ever receive.
275
The older we get the wiser we're supposed to become,
such is the general result of experience in life for some.
But with age there's also the prospect of the deterioration of health
and the wisdom that's gained is used to maintain the body by stealth.
277
God really cannot ever be either bought or sold
but is found in the heart where love does unfold.
If we look within ourselves and behold The Light
know it's a sign of His Grace and a blessed sight.
280
True love is the antidote to everyone's fear and hate,
providing the courage they need to make these abate.
Love comes from within and manifests in ways outside
transforming all that it touches and seeks not to deride.
292
A poet is an artist who paints images with words cast on the canvas of our mind
and uses expressions to make a point or evoke feelings of some particular kind.
A poem then is the handiwork of a poet who is usually inspired or otherwise,
being the medium through which he or she reveal themselves to peoples eyes.
293
Poetry is a sublime art form and can be used to get a message across
of things that sometimes have or need to be said; by words to emboss.
Poetical verses then are groups of lines written in a certain style or metre
of various lengths and rhythm which are often like a stage set in a theatre.
301
Intelligence and love are parts of a universal language
that we all communicate with because of our heritage.
They usually transcend all barriers of time and space
which in this world are common for the human race.
305
Whatever goes up, in this world, must also come down
unless it defies nature's law of gravity which is renown.
For anything to rise to a certain height and then have to come down again
depends on the force that initially propels it and how high it attains to then.
306
It's impossible to see around corners unless we can develop another sense
which might be based on our inner potential and a higher evolution thence.
We all have the capacity to overcome certain limitations through self effort
and if we learn to work in harmony with nature may to a glorious end resort.
311
The length, breadth and depth of the universe are perceived as time, space and circumstance,
but we can't really measure anything so big which goes far beyond our limited mind's expanse.
The more we use our mind to probe something which is infinite the more in it it's likely to find
but if we understand how the mind works then all else to know becomes of the obvious kind.
317
'To err is to be human' is a saying spoken often enough
in one way or another to those people who get a rebuff.
It's a gentle chiding for errors done we can all safely accept,
so common in fact that nobody around claims to be an adept.
324
It takes some disillusionment and bodily distress
for anyone to abstain from bad habits of excess.
Some people are caught up very early in life and
so can't get beyond them without a helping hand.
326
For what do we all live and for what do some die?
if it is not then for love I really can't tell you why.
Whether we all live or die we should not ever cry
except for True love which is its own reason why!
329
For what does the sun rise and for what then does it set?
is it not for Heavenly Love which it cannot ever forget?
The moon and stars are also subject and don't seek a release
until that love beckons them to find rest in its bosom of peace.
331
It is said that it's the early bird which catches the worm
and that in matters of principle we should all stand firm.
But what if the birds are many and the worms are few,
those principles people adhere to are unjust and untrue?
There's a long distance journey we all have to make
going from one life to another through death's gate.
One life may not really be enough to achieve that goal
where the game we have to play requires a perfect role.
5
For the love of God and for those who are willing
everything according to His Will you'll be doing.
With mind, heart and body, all given to you for a while,

333
It is often said that the simple things in life are the best
and that life, for some people in the world, is a real test.
If we then try and live simply with high practical ideals as such
we'll be happier in ourselves and towards nature keep in touch.
335
It is said that jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire
is temptations' way for those who don't control their desire.
Desires are of various kinds and often lead many people astray.
It takes courage and strength to overcome or keep them at bay.
337
You are it seems very far away
yet so near for those who pray.
If one cries out of love for Thee
You go about setting them free.
339
Love is very amazing and love is sweet
but true love is the kind I'd like to meet.
Love is life and with love we should greet
true love can be found even on the street.
341
It's each person to themselves that has been a cause of much pain
because they're mostly interested in what with they only can gain.
They don't really give a damn about how anyone else might be going
but continue on for their own sakes regardless of what life is showing.
343
There's a genuine need for us all to look into our heart and mind
and weed out any impurities in there that we may probably find.
We were not at all born to live by deceit, enmity, hate and selfishness
or towards our fellow man act without compassion or thus transgress.
345
Time and space have no beginning or end
except in God Who them both does extend.
That Reality is the source of each of these things
and also to every creature life and death brings.
347
Where there's a love that doesn't fade
there is also a light without any shade.
Where there's a purity without any taint
there is a place or someone very quaint.
349
It seems a mistaken notion when we hear it said that 'all men are born equal'
and is due to the fact that as a baby we are all helpless, dependent and small.
But as we grow up and get older the sense of equality doesn't mean much at all
as there are many factors at play which are not so evident and hard to forestall.
351
Don't ever allow my mind and heart to forget
those experiences of You which love has set.
All other things may come and then go
but behind them all Your love does glow.
It is often said that the simple things in life are the best
and that life, for some people in the world, is a real test.
