The darkness of ignorance is removed by the light of knowledge and wisdom
which can lead all to realise and experience an inner state of blissful freedom.
There are many people though, in whom this ignorance runs incredibly deep,
that they mistake it for knowledge thinking they are awake but really asleep.

How many times, in my life, have I fallen down
to be picked up again, by You, off the ground?
Or was it out from the murky waters of the worldly ocean
when I was apparently drowning with a desperate motion?

Oh beloved Avatar Meher Baba Ki Jai
awaken Yourself in our hearts and stay.
Guide us beyond the opposites of duality to Thy light
irrespective of the time being either in the day or night.

It may seem this request is out of sheer vanity
though perhaps it's because of our fragile sanity.
But then You know better than anyone else does
so please come around and clear up all the fuzz.

There should be room enough in our hearts to house Thee
which is the one place out of all where You should really be.
If crowded with too many desires to find a comfortable place there
please show us how to get rid of them and take a very special care

to instill that one desire and longing for God which is necessary
for us all to realise and attain the goal of life throughout eternity.
All the sacred scriptures of the world proclaim the One Eternal Truth,
being man's duty to realise his unity with God and dependence in sooth.

In this world you will find it does mostly seem
that ignorance and darkness both reign supreme.
But to one who has a clear, discerning and penetrating eye
this isn’t the case even though others may question: why?

For the one who sees with the eyes of wisdom
there’s a higher intelligence working in freedom
that underlies and pervades all we see of nature
which is also one of an infinite, almighty stature.

The cosmic forces, energies or powers that rule this world are
all much the same elsewhere in the universe no matter how far.
The magnitude and scale of things surpasses most people’s vision
though the underlying similarity found may be subject to derision.

We have some means at our disposal to see things without the naked eye
and this may involve using sophisticated equipment to penetrate the sky.
There is a saying we have all probably heard that ‘the sky’s the limit’
which indicates vaguely the extent to where we can go physically in it.

But there is also another way to see, which can be done with our mind's eye,
that requires an inner awakening on a higher level and beyond the normal ply.
Various other people great and small have spoken or written something about it
and is what in part the telescope, television or clairvoyance are all products of it.

There are other worlds and a much bigger sky
that one can see through their own mind’s eye.
First, one has to clear away those obscuring clouds
of ignorance and darkness, that cover it like shrouds.

Are you demon or human my friend?
and how can you say one or the other?
Just because you look like what is taken to be human
doesn’t really explain what is going on inside of you.

If you can honestly say that without any doubt
you are definitely human then prove your case!
Do you in fact submit to any Divine Authority
and acknowledge an Almighty Supreme Being?

Are you in fear and awe of a power greater than your own
that can without any effort show you the extent to which
It holds everything in place that we see and take for granted
by the sheer might of Its own Infinite and Eternal Existence?

Do you love and think kindly towards your fellow human beings
and try to be of help and service to those who are in need even
to the extent of depriving yourself of time, money and resources
that you would normally spend or use for your own personal welfare?

Do you ever hold or regard anything to be sacred and fit for worship
in particular what has been ordained through scripture to be of God?
Do you in fact cherish all of life and do not seek to harm any creature
or living thing as much as possible by feeling or showing compassion?

Would you consider or put your own life at risk in a situation to help
where the safety or life of anybody else is in danger or harms way?
Or do you fret, curse and swear over the smallest thing that goes wrong
each day when something unexpected happens that isn’t to your liking?

Do you lie, cheat and steal in any way when dealing with other people
especially where the matter is to your own disadvatage or possible loss?
Do you covet or pursue that which isn’t lawful or forbidden to have
for the sake of your own personal self gratification, greed and lust?

It would be really good to know whether you are demon or human
so that you can perhaps honestly say you’re not even in possesion;
by some demonic spirit that has got the better or should I say worse of you
and that whatever you may say or do is in accordance with what is TRUE.
