Spirituality And Materialism

In our hearts There is no place for anything else Except our being What is our being? It's the undiluted state of existence - nothingness Empty of all our acquired thoughts and emotions (selves) Including ego, fear, selfishness, and wickedness Identities, attachment, achievements and expectations Our being requires body, mind and soul to be in complete abeyance For us to taste true happiness, peace and Love It's only through faith, hope and Love that we can bring ourselves to nothingness And be partakers at the table of unconditional Love Now, what is materialism? It's not the possession or accumulation of material things including money & wealth Materialism is the complete contamination of our being With thoughts, emotions and anything else that occupies the fabric of nothingness It is great to work hard and fill our lives with achievements, identities and dreams But it's forbidden to hold those achievements or identities in our hearts As a replacement for the fabric of being - nothingness It's a waste of time to be full of ego for a moment only to be lost to the everlasting embrace Spirituality means nothing to those who have not tasted nothingness It's only through our nakedness (spirit)that we can be empty of our acquired selves It's only through unconditional Love that one finds true happiness, peace and hope Now, how do we keep our being undiluted? It's through solitude, silence and stillness that our body, mind and soul can be cleansed It's through the fruits of the spirit (prayer, kindness, goodness, gentleness, compassion and humility)that we are dressed with unconditional Love It's never too late to embark on the journey of the spirit Where you will find your true being - nothingness The everlasting existence - eternity ©
