WE MET IN MID-STREAM
Young ardent seeker –
Ask the question.
What you get back
Take to fruition –
To one established firmly
In non-stealing
All wealth comes
Non-violence
Truthfulness
Non-stealing
Moderation of sense drives
Non-greed, non-grasping
These are embraced.
These we observe –
Purity
Contentment
Accepting, but not causing pain
Observing spiritual texts
Self-surrender to God.
Become cheerful of mind
Pure of thought, word and deed.
Each day a conquest of the negative
A refutation of conformity.
We do not live old and die –
Useless, formless; with no meaning.
Rather, each of us, a small saint
As though a little repetition
Of eternal strength
Able to go from youth to 100 years
Smoothly
With no stripped gears.
And we met in mid-stream
