“I and Him”

“I” has a body, “ I” has a soul
“I” also has a brain and a mind.
If that “I” possesses all these
Then why it is so hard to find !

To know that “I” we pray to “HIM”
And in that “HIM” we find that “I”
Caged between that H and M
Which stand for Heart and Mind.

If we open the doors of Heart and Mind
And look inside the cage,
We will be surprised to find that
“I” in Him and “I” in us
Are not separate but the same.

The Heart and Mind that realize
That both these “I’s” are the sam
For that Heart and for that Mind
There is no pleasure, no pain.
