In Meditation
I daily commune with God
Life is so Zen in that way.
Simplicity is
In achieving that oneness
With the universal mind.
Uncomplicated
Life is the sweetest of all
Evil dies, clarity thrives.
Why complicate life
When you can exist in peace,
Achieving complete Hara.
Just remember this,
Peace is every step you take;
Its golden arms keep you safe.
Note: In the beliefs of Hinduism and Shaivism, Hara in Sanscrit, means “removing, destroying or taking away”.
Hara or Shiva is “the one who destroys evil.”
