When you pray

When You pray
 
The hope of heaven and the fear of hell –
a carrot-and-stick approach
 
to our trek from darkness to Light,
the great Mystery luring us nearer
 
to the Truth than our mind and senses
can take us in their fixation
 
upon this outward, illusory realm.
Our past impressions (per Meher),
 
are the present obstacles
barring our way from the surrender
 
of a one-pointed reliance
wholly and solely upon God.
 
And with true surrender
comes the Real knowledge
 
that our most egregious blasphemy
is the one great Truth –
 
that neither God, nor anything other
than God, exists outside of Who we are.
 
O child, when you pray to God,
you are praying to your Self.
