Friends, I long hesitated to publish this poem from the stream about oneness. I decided to do so after receiving a lesson from the Spirit.

O you who know no suffering!
You bowed your heads obediently,
Betraying your sacred vow —
To pray to the Lord persistently.

You have grown over with shackles,
Coveting, a rebellious soul.
You could no longer see —
Another’s pain is shame to you.

Others’ miseries are your vice,
And the callousness of a feeble heart.
We are all one — that is the lesson!
Heard as a bell’s song.
