three saints
By mysticventures
Hindu, Christian and Buddhist
Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, the Dalia Lama
Truely, the saints of modern day man
Proof to all who would see,
That there is no one true path to holiness
and that each,
in their own way,
through their own faith,
can know god.
So where's the connection?
It's in the ego
Or rather,
the lack thereof.
For in sacrificing ego,
they have given themselves over
to their faith,
their spirit
their god.
They have shared with us
their godly strengths
and their human weaknesses
and have given us a vision,
of what could be,
if we but follow their lead.
And in so doing,
have shown the world
thru faith,
love,
compassion,
and humility
that in the individual -
god does exist
