Before It’s Too Late

Stop your yoga!
Do not recite your mantras!
Dismantle your shrine
and hide from your heart!
You are making too much progress
on the spiritual path.
If you keep this up,
soon you will have to stand all alone.
For you will have destroyed the illusions
which keep the wheel of ignorance
spinning.
You will no longer be able to pretend
that you can find happiness in
that which will never make you happy.
That will be the end of your social life
and dalliance with society.
My friends, if you don’t cease your sadhana,
you may soon find out
why the saints live
naked
and alone…
in joy.
