THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

[Guest guest]

Life's not some glamourous gambling game,

> A throw of mindless roulette on the wheel

> Of scarlet red time and jet black space;

> A play of dice numbered in some numb brain:

> It is much more than that my dearest friend!

 

> We slipped from our Natural State the Self

> And fell into a gross material dream.

> Our angel wings were badly bruised and hurt.

> After suffering we prayed to come back home,

> And in Her Grace, Love sent our Unique Sage,

> To wake us from our dark nightmarish plight;

> Repeating birth and death through many lives,

> Drowning in a whirlpool of ordained fate .

..

> Surrender and Self Enquiry are His cure.

> The Self which sent us on this ego trip

> Of losing, then yearning, to find one's Self again

> Will aid us, if earnestness sincere, is there .
