The karmic laws we all obey
Proud Christian, Sikh or Jew
It’s not a matter of belief
Skin black, white, red or blue
When seed of kindness will be sown
The fruit of love will grow
Through rivers of amazing grace
Abundant blessings flow
In laboured soil of selflessness
The grain of peace will thrive
Don’t fear the darkness of the Void
Rise up from death to Life
Embrace humility and faith
Let ego fall to dust
Replace greed, power and control
By unconditioned trust
The fruit of mind does not compare
To nectar of the heart
While heart will always reunite
Mind’s sword will set apart
It’s up to you which path you choose
Devotion or control
For ego’s joy is heart’s despair
Reflect upon your goal
