The Furthest Point

In the realm of the spirit The furthest point is normally very near It is not distance that separates spiritual beings It is the absence of peace, hope, happiness and love That keeps the spirit away from God In the world of Man The furthest point is normally found in our thoughts and emotions The darkness of loneliness and the abyss of sorrow We have always thought distance really matters in the affairs of Man But it is the matters of the spirit that really occupies the heart of Man We can talk about the logical mind all we want But it is the fantastic sense of our spiritual inheritance that occupies our lives Our lives are nothing without spiritual fulfilment in our hearts We can be the best at everything we do but without hope We are doomed to the life of meaninglessness We can dominate all fields of success But without Love we are forever poor Now, let us free ourselves from the illusion of the mind And hold the Truth in our hands and heart Let us accept our spiritual inheritance And we will find our way to the realm of peace, happiness and love It is not spiritual enlightenment It is common sense We are all spiritual beings ©Kenneth Maswabi
