Open Thy Eyes And See The
God
leave this
chanting and
singing and
telling of beads!
Whom dost thou worship in this
lonely dark corner of a temple
with doors all shut?Open thine
eyes and see thy god is not
before thee!
He is there where the tiller is
tilling the hard ground and where
the path maker is breaking stones.
He is with them in sun and in
shower, and His garment is covered
with dust. Put off thy holy mantle
and even like Him come
down on the dusty soil!
Deliverance?Where is this deliverance
to be found?Our master himself has joyfully
taken upon him the bonds
of creation;He is bound with us all
for ever.
Come out of thy meditations and
leave aside thy flowers and incense!
What harm is there if thy clothes
become tattered and stained? Meet
him and stand by him in toil and in the
sweat of thy brow.
