“What do you really possess?”
5 October 2007
What do you really possess,
and what have you gained?
What pearls have you brought up
from the depth of the sea?
On the day of death,
bodily senses will vanish:
do you have the spiritual light
to accompany your heart?
When dust fills these eyes in the grave,
will your grave shine bright?
Rumi – version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
It won’t, for most people I see around myself.
