The Innocent Joy In Natural Things. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
The Innocent Joy In Natural Things.
It is the innocent joy
in natural things
the mystics of all
ages and all faiths
agree that attracts them.
Poverty for a mystic
is utter self-stripping.
It is a complete detachment
in joy from all finite things.
By chastity he means
an extreme and limpid
purity of soul, virgin
to all but God:
By Obedience, it means
that abnegation of selfhood
that mortification of the will
which results in a complete
humility, a holy indifference
to the accidents of life.
Linked together these three
aspects of perfection are really one.
In all natural things we feel innocence. Joy that we get from all finite things do not last for long. Joy we God from God is eternal. We love God's power and we regard him as father. A deeply philosophical poem is well penned.10

Here is another spiritual piece furthering what is said about your spirituality: abnegation (renunciation, self-denial) , mortification of the will, holy indifference to accidents of life, Too heavy a spiritual stuff for me, but you make eminent sense, Dr Antony. You are deeply philosophical, hats off.
