If there were no Bibles, Qu'rans. or Torahs....

If there was no Bible, Qu’ran, or Torah, would people know how to seek God?

Would people know how to live righteously?

        Would people know how to love themselves?

 

Must we really be told how to love?

                    How to live?

How to respect ourselves and our neighbors and our universe?

                                  How to become one with our spirit?

 

If we didn’t have Bibles, Qurans, and Torahs

Would people even seek to be spiritually sound?

Would people know where to begin?

 People quote the Bible.

People quote the Qu’ran

People quote the Torah

 

They speak the truth of love.

The power of faith

The essence of oneness with all

 

If there were no Bibles, Torahs, or Qu’rans

We would write our own psalms

 

If there were no Bibles, Qu’rans, or Torahs

We would recite our own mantras

                  Find our own paths

                                          Ignite our own fires

Make our own rules

 

 Follow our own gospels

                                            Cultivate love in our own way

 

Wouldn’t we?      Would we?

 

What would we do if there were no Bibles, Qu’rans, and Torahs?

 

Would you know God?

Would you know how to know God?

Would you believe in God?

Would you have faith?

 

Would we argue over the truth?

                                       Would there be one truth?

Would there be infinite truths depending on experience?

Would people be so attached to their beliefs?

Would people be so quick to judge others’ beliefs?

Would we feel so trapped?

Would we feel so dirty?

Would we feel so inherently bad?

Would we feel so inherently good?

 

If there were no Bibles, Qu’rans, and Torahs……
