Nothing is sadder than having worldly standards without worldly means.

Where Sin Multiplies
In my life
I haven't seen
Such a thing
Could be so much
Cunning!
They came in
To teach me
To be unworldly
But secretly
They were too much worldly.
If to be worldly
Is a sin
It is never more than a lie
I wish not to do sin in multiple
Here the preachers of the unworldly
Do sins in double.
Flexing my muscle
I declare
In front of them
‘'I am too much worldly.''
Being an unworldly
If I get immortality
And the end of both
If is not the death
Then I would renounce the world
And embraces the unworldly.

I was trying to be very at ease in this arrogant person, and very worldly, but something human came into the part. I hate to say that. I wanted to be totally worldly.

Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.

Catch 22
If I seem nervous will you show me what to do
And does the world deserve us, application rushing through
A long time coming, yes it's been a long time coming
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
We close our eyes and chase away the sorry things
You make it easy for me life is but a dream
Cried on your shoulder
Dove into the great blue yonder
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart, it's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you, is a place where I surrender
In my heart
No catch twenty-two
And all my worldly goods I give to you
No misdemeanor, theres a ring upon my finger
And my loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart
It's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you, is a place where I surrender
Touch my heart
No catch 22
And all my worldly goods I give to you
Loving you is a place where I surrender
In my heart
It's not hard to do
And all my worldly goods I give to you.

The energy of sleep is the dream with everything that exists, with everything that does not exist. He traverses the experiences of the subconscious from all worldly and non-worldly directions.

Preach one and do opposite
Kill the ego, denounce the comfort,
and detach yourself from the worldly.
It is the Vedic principle.
Hone the ego, rope the comfort,
and command as much worldly.
It is its preacher’s life style.

Of all the worldly passions, lust is the most intense. All other worldly passions seem to follow in its train.
Fly Into The Sun
I would not run from the holocaust
I would not run from the bomb
Id welcome the chance to meet my maker
And fly into the sun
Fly into the sun
Fly into the sun
Id break up into million pieces
And fly into the sun
I would not run from the blazing light
I would not run from its rain
Id see it as an end to misery
As an end to worldly pain
An end to worldly pain
An end to worldly pain
Id shine by the light of the unknown moment
To end this worldly pain
And fly into the sun
Fly into the sun
Id shine by the light of the unknown moment
And fly into the sun
The earth is weeping, the sky is shaking
The stars split to their core
And every proton and unnamed neutron
Is fusing in my bones
And an unnamed mammal is darkly rising
As man burns from his tomb
And I look at this as a blissful moment
To fly into the sun
Fly into the sun
Fly into the sun
Id burn up into a million pieces
And fly into the sun
To end this mystery
Answer my mystery
Id look at this as a wondrous moment
To end this mystery
Fly into the sun
Fly into the sun
Id break up into a million pieces
And fly into the sun

Man of Mist
A worldly man must first insist
That things of beauty still exist
That poetry must… in this world
Have yet the passion to persist
By the force of pen in hands of men
By resolve does worldly man resist
The fate of many others in
The surrender to desist
Stand ramrod straight in parsing prose
In search of rhyme… to ne’er twist
Be a man of words, be one that knows
to not become… a man of mist

Wishes in death bed
She was in death bed with a heavy heart
Not that she would leave the worldly means
But that she could not be there to take care
Of his son, who is fifty and yet naïve.

You say that your hope is in God, and he will, I am sure, stand by you. But you must not forget that you have been given worldly means to use and employ against human arrogance and wrong; it is necessary to see such things with a broad mind in order to oppose them.

Mental birth
Thought is broken into many levels and grades.
All men begin on, or near, the same point.
The only difference is the efficiency and where it stems from.
The 'smart, ' are efficient in multiple worldly ways.
The 'dumb' are efficient in ways the 'smart' cannot fathom.
'Average' is the point where efficiency is dependent upon immediate worldly needs.
'Retarded' people are those that grasp and maintain an efficiency held within,
One that man cannot explain because man is on a different, rudimentary plain.

This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.

Sonnet: On Conscience
The modern man ignores his conscience,
And does much things against it if need be;
And thereby forgets God, believing Science,
And tries to be worldly-wise mostly.
God-given conscience is always right;
At times, man's judgement goes wildly amiss;
His inner voice guides man to see God's light;
His perspective of worldly things and bliss.
One can be blind of eyes and reach Heaven;
When blind to conscience, you can't see God;
Love God by serving His unfortunate men,
For souled are we to glorify the clod.
Blest is the man who acts per conscience;
You can't serve God and men by just man's science.

Life’s Lessons
From our very birth we enroll in life’s school,
Adhere to wisdom and don’t be counted a fool,
After we first learn to dine, converse and walk,
We find instruction on teachers board in chalk,
Then much advanced education we seek to find,
Merely with worldly jumble we pack our mind,
Truthful wisdom to us our ancestors did impart,
From which we chose straight away to depart,
Moral principles from our youth we were taught,
But after worldly gratification it was we sought,
Youthful life was lived fast; rolling and rocking,
Then the school of hard knocks came a knocking,
And for true knowledge my empty soul yearned,
But only selfishness in everything I had learned,
So blinded by worldly mind-set I could not see,
Others mattered and that it was not all about me,
The golden rule I’ve found to be absolutely true,
Do unto others as you would have them do to you,
Ancient wisdom makes for much brighter days,
Abundant truth can only be found in GOD’s ways!

Rebirth if any
Rebirth if any
I will not enter into the worldly life
If I remain as poor as I am now and here
I must not see my wife and children pale
For want of consumer goods
Unless God provides us with the tinsels
that are the fashion of the time
Iwill not opt for worldly life if I am born again
Oh I want tinsels and not gold
I will exchange gold for tinsels
To become happy and powerful like Rothschild and Ford
Were Rothschild and Ford happy?
Such questions are irrelevant

Sonnet-How Can You See God?
How can you see God with your human eyes,
When mind keeps seeking worldly pleasures more?
How can you see God when you're worldly-wise,
And selfish, sinful, evil to the core?
How can you see God with your soul impure,
Ignoring Conscience that tells whats right?
How can you see God with heart immature,
And eyes that see but can't discern His Light?
How can you see God in all Nature's forms,
When human eyes can't see the God within?
How can you see God without Life's great storms,
with heart afilled with oft-done mortal sin?
The man with heart and soul holy sees God;
Deceiving ones will get Almighty's Rod.
