God In Our Life



Your daily life is your temple and your religion
Whenever you enter them take with you your all
Take the plough , the forge , the mallet and the lute
And take with you all men , their hopes and despair
And if you would know God humble yourself
Do not pretend to be the solver of riddles
Rather look about you and you shall see Him
playing with your children
And look into space , you shall see Him
Walking in the cloud ,outstretching His arms
in the lightning and descending in rain.
You shall see Him smiling in flowers,
then rising and waving His hands in trees.
