Advaita Notebook July Poems

July 2010


Unawareness Lack of awareness Is it's own anaesthetic You don't have to save others From distraction Or yourself You don't have to teach Or learn When you forget who you are Amnesia steps in And protects you From fretting Anytime at all When someone asks your name You can't give a wrong answer Awareness is in demand But don't underrate it's twin Unawareness Like falling asleep Takes trust While playing in dreams It leaves the important things To God		The Secret No one can pretend To be free Because they are No one can feign Union with the source Because that is their condition Any counterfeit coins are Also made by God In another mint of his Down the road Whenever Mother Theresa Meets Hitler She gives him a kiss And he her A lovely smile Because they both know The secret


The Show's Over When you get to heaven The show's over Everyone is stripped naked And searched for signs Of personality If your passport falls out of Your underwear It's straight to the High Commissioner For tea And cucumber sandwiches When you return You won't know who you are And you certainly Won't care		Being Yourself Being yourself doesn't mean Stop being not yourself And really be yourself Being yourself means You are being yourself Sometimes you yearn To be different This is yourself Sometimes you're content Even if you have Totally no idea That you are the only yourself You can be You are being yourself Perfectly Without knowing it

I Forgive You I forgive you Said God For being yourselves Not that you did anything at all Only what I commanded And those of you Who in spite of everything Were very good You will be rewarded And those of you that wavered Or failed The same Every one of you has succeeded Perfectly In doing what I asked I thank you all And my love and special apology Goes out to those who's part Was not to know me		The Miserable Rotters Beware of fascists Pushing everyone round And yelling out orders Like they know Watch out for greedy pigs Shouldering you aside To get their snouts In the trough Luckily I don't have to like them For doing God's work In that way Luckily I'm allowed to detest them The miserable rotters
