OPENNESS
K. M. Kale
You cannot
invite the cool breeze
But you can
keep the window open
You cannot
invite a good thought
But you
can, keep the mind Open
You cannot
invite love
But you can
keep the heart open.
Love that
is the real source
Of all too
is noble and good
The only
religion, the only God
That man
hasn’t thitherto understood.
So, beware
of religions and sects
And their
teachers and preachers
Who
inculcate intolerance and hatred
And
transform you into wild creatures.
Being the
sons of the same God
Let’s the
welfare of all pursue
Never
forgetting the golden rule
‘Do unto
others what you’d others
do unto you’.
