Tales of the Temple

Sitting in the temple a question was asked.    
"Can God be found    
In these multimillion dollar    
Temples of the world?"    
     
And -    
     
The answer is yes -    
For there is nowhere God is not.    
     
However -    
     
He will more likely be found within the heart    
Of the poor humble pheasant    
Living just outside    
Of the dome of the temple.    
     
It's Interesting -    
     
We build magnificent temples, cathedrals, and mosques -    
Declare them holy sites and God's home -    
Never thinking -    
That the real temples of God (mans body)    
Did all of the designing and construction.    
     
Alas -    
     
So little do we value      
The true temples of the Lord.    
     
******    
     
In the midst of the temple of man    
Sits the omnipresent soul.    
This bright nucleus of light    
Was destined to be    
Lord of this region -    
     
However -    
     
In our present condition    
It lies quivering    
In the shadow of the mind.    
     
*****    
     
Dawn strikes the spires of the temple    
Then sweeps across the land    
Radiating golden streams    
Across the desert sand.  
 
******   
     
In the temple I behold you    
When attention is drawn    
To the foxhole of the forehead    
In the quiet of dawn.  
 
******   
     
The temple top the mountain    
Looks at a billion star lit sky    
From the inner vault of heaven    
The mind cannot deny.  
 
******  
     
It's nighttime in the temple    
Meditate the inner sky    
Peep through the vault of heaven    
Find your Masters eye.  
 
******   
      
Swiftly flows the river    
On its course to ever after -    
Then a voice from the temple spoke,    
"Time flows even faster."    
 
******  
   
Inside the temple's a vault    
With a trillion stars in place    
Just like the sky in heaven    
That is viewed from outer space.  
 
******    
   
What in the temple holds    
Trillion celled me in place    
From flowing out in time    
Into the heavenly space?  
 
******  
   
A voice from the temple said,    
"Beware the mind that spins the lie -    
Soul has no wings    
Cannot fly"    
 
******  
   
In the temple upper room  
A space of eternal spring    
Lives the King in silent wonder  
Where the bells of Heaven ring.  
 
******  
   
Within the temple chimes a bell  
The gong resounds loud and clear  
For the souls that hear these echoes  
Enlightenment is near.  
 
******  
 
Inside the temple  
Only God remains  
When the I of you vanishes,  
Ego is slain.
