Spirituality Is Like Farming

It is an art, a full time job and a sacrifice Not to be confused with a hobby You have to find your true self first And accept that you are an empty field That needs to be continuously cleared of any debris Fear, hopelessness and uncertainty are the debris Selfishness and wickedness are the weeds That can choke your crops and pollute your soil Like a canvas that awaits the painter You have to be unfolded and displayed You should be free from any specks of logic Or any acquired knowledge No identities, attachments and expectations All material achievements are meaningless There is no place for ego Ego is a poisonous chemical that will kill your crops It is the substance of being that needs to be cultivated And Silence (or stillness) is the atmosphere that brings rain The substance of being is a rich fertile ground Nothingness is grown here This is the template for everything Peace, humility, compassion, hope, kindness and Love Are crops in this sacred farm Unconditional Love is the most important plant Because it is a source of peace, hope and happiness It is capable of feeding millions of people It has medicinal properties and can heal all diseases It is also used to bind relationships into bundles of joy Unconditional Love is the most beautiful flower Decorating the substance of being with its amazing petals and colours It is the substance of unmatched beauty that attracts angels To come and watch it and marvel at its unimaginable radiance It is a source of the perfect Light that illuminates all of eternity Above all, unconditional Love is the substance of God
