One Thousand Went To Pray
One thousand went to pray
I with them in the holy place
in deep meditation I fell asleep
only ten people I could see
still kneeling and lost in prayer
Scared I asked in silence,
“Where are the rest gone?
Why are we so few here?”
The Almighty answered,
promptly from the sanctuary;
“Be not scared, my child
I bring this to you today
to have idea of the world
that prays decorative prayer
preaches gospel without salvation
Of the one thousand in prayer
the ten you see still praying
are here to seek Me in truth.
The rest who fill the sanctuary
are simply beautiful tourists”.
The amount of wealth you offer
The number of times you pray
The beauty you show in sanctuary
are ordinary to me in reality
quality of heart and actions move Me”
