Fulfilling Life

Rain brings in water
that fills up earth’s cavities
sun that follows the rain
with it scorching heat
can dry up little cavities
not the ocean, the ever full.
It is the depth, my dear
that keeps it cool and full.
So is the depth of wisdom
of the wise ever complete and full,
even scorching heat of sorrows
do not ever dry him up!

Fill up yourself with
showers of satsang,
clouds are the saints,
follow them as they move about
for they shower only
His grace upon you
receive it with faith
create infinite depth
by diving within
in deep contemplation,
like scorching heat of the sun.
ignore not the life situations
that bring in sorrows and setbacks,
face them squarely
as they attempt to dry your knowledge
fill in again, again and again
dive deeper and deeper
until you reach the depth of peace
that passeth all understanding!

To know and not to do is not yet to know!

A man dies and mets St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. Peter says to the man, "Here's how it works. You need to have one hundred points to get into heaven. You tell me about all the good things you've done. They are all worth a certain number of points. If your total is one hundred or more, you can come in."
"Well," says the man. "I was happily married to the same woman for 52 years. I never looked at another woman. I was attentive and loved her dearly."
"That's great," says St. Peter. "That'll be two points."
"Hmmm," says the man. "This is going to be harder than I thought. Well, I attended church regularly, volunteered my time and tithed faithfully."
"Wonderful," says St. Peter, "That's worth another point."
"One point!" says the man. "Okay, okay. I was involved with a prison ministry for twenty-five years. I went into the prison, at least monthly, and shared Jesus with them."
"Wow!" says St. Peter. "That's another two points!"
"Only two points!" says the man. "At this rate, it'll be only by the grace of God that'll I'll ever get into this place."
"Bingo!" says St. Peter. "That's one hundred points! Come on in.
