Spiritual Knowledge

Greater knowledge than books contain
Is deep within our souls
For this is God’s gift to man
This knowledge each one holds

            Instead of searching deep within
            We search in a far off land
            No books could hold this spiritual knowledge
            That God put in each man

                        We praise the words of Socrates
                        Of Plato, Kant and Poe
                        But they are only infants
                        Compared to the knowledge yet to know

For each soul is progressing
Each time to earth we return
Eventually we will reach perfection
Then a God-soul we have earned

            The only thing we have to do
            Is open wide this inner door
            For all that is, or is to be
            Has been here long before.

                        There’s nothing new that God doesn’t know
                        From the very beginning of life
                        So get your answers from your Master Teacher
                        And stop all this struggle and strife.
