We Are a Part of God

We are a part of God, within him
God is a part of us, within us

We are a part of world, within it
Although we seem to be working for us,
we are actually working for the world

There’s a world within us
All of our cells are working for us

We are a small cell of the universe
We all belong to large body called earth

All are interdependent, interconnected
Joined by life cycle

Only if all healthy 
We can be healthy
World can be healthy

Recent pandemic proved this perfectly
Ancient men understood this clearly

God permeates all bodies of living organisms
Physical characteristics may differ
They are mere clothing of soul

We are a part of God
Everyone, everything around part of God too
Everything is God
All are embodiment of God

Release selfishness, embrace  oneness
Love all as you would love your body parts

Help all, serve all, be good to all
Have no enmity, hatred, jealousy towards anybody
Talking negative is akin to criticizing God

If you truly love God, you will love one and all
You will never harm anybody, anything in this world

Once you embrace oneness, 
Once you realise you are a speck of dust in the large body of God
Once you understand all are equal

Your ego will cease to exist
You will humbly surrender unto the Lord as a mere servant 

You will experience bountiful love for whole creation
You will experience bliss beyond imagination

If all understood their true nature and position
If all loved all
World would be perfect, healthy and blissful place
