The truth is that a temple is like the flower

No 430 of Living Life Series 1

 


Blame not the flower
for insects coming to it for nectar.
This Lord Bo Tien did say.
Likewise blame not a temple
for men coming to it
for personal agenda.
After all, who don't?
The rare few who won't
would stay away anyway
from the temple
if indeed they don't.

At odds with the many, 
they gel not with them.
Though true to Heaven,
they are the odd ones out.
We need them to wake up
the light in the many
who know not what they do.
The many may turn the temple 
into a temple of men for men
rather than a temple 
of God and saint for men.
But can the few make it 
to awaken the light in men, 
so that men make not a mockery 
of the divine calling in a temple?
Ask God and lord saint
of that temple.
Heaven knows best.
Omitofo.
