War between ignorance and understanding

A rift is running through the world,
with a war of unreason and reason,
like a warlike dance
between ignorance and understanding,
a world conflagration of naivety,
of threat and spiritual decay,
a creeping suicide of humanity.
There are people with little or no understanding
they divide but do not unite,
without seeing, without mentally grasping
that their boat floats in the Same Water
as that of their fellow inhabitants
on this one planet we all share,
while others recognise the danger,
see that we are all one
and only harm ourselves,
drifting our boat through stormy seas
with the prospect of sinking,
as soon as we stage wars
out of hunger for power
out of mistrust and fear.

There is a unity of good
and one of evil.
Evil destroys, ignores, denies,
lies, and deceives without or little honesty,
which is unaware of itself.
Good, on the other hand, unites,
is one in the One,
aim-oriented in it,
attracts trust built on truth,
a building that is not built on lies,
not on unfounded promises,
where war starts to rage in the heads,
manifestating it into reality.

Oneness is the magic word.
The more we understand this,
the sooner the human perspective changes.

We all want to love and be loved
Love never involves violence and enslavement,
It is an indication of where we stand…

Meditation, possibilities and dangers – Audio-lecture by Dr. Harbhajan Singh

On the throne of arrogance

Many please themselves
in the cloak of title and power.
They forget one thing in the process:
That they themselves are only human,
are not higher or lower than others,
yet they treat others
not on a respectful equal footing,
but expect submission,
feel they were born to be higher.

It is their disposition
to adopt such an attitude.
It robs them of humility and respect,
equips them with arrogance,
distorts their clear vision,
under all the flattery.

They accept themselves in this role,
do not realise their departure
from reality and human equality.
They think they are better,
sit on the throne of superiority,
looking down from above.

They don’t realise that they are victims,
under the control of their own minds,
which deprives them of the freedom of humanity.

They are not better,
they are worse off…
