Om

Coming slowly ever closer to you, Lord,
I feel a long way off.
I will hold on to as my only truth,
What I've seen, as I've come close to You;
The angels, the Buddhas, the Pure Lands,
The Lotus Flowers, the demigods,
The heavens.
To be close to you is to be raised above,
To be focused on you, to learn of you,
Is the only medicine, the only love.

I will hold on to as my only truth,
What I've seen, as I've come close to You;
There was never any where to go,
There was never any coming or leaving.
Space is nothing compared with You,
Therefore, there was never any separateness.
Always, the whole universe, has come from you,
And will return to you.
It is seemingly, most seemingly, separate for an instant,
But that is nothing in relation to infinity.
