The Impurities Of Knowledge Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

Do not enter the temple of God with pockets full of knowledge
There is nothing unknown in the presence of God
The impurities of knowledge will cloud your mind
And the Light of God will obliterate your soul
It is not necessary to hold your breath
It is absolutely important to be still
In this stillness, you will be born again
And everything you have ever known will be unknown
It is the Light of God that will illuminate your life
Everything else will be meaningless
Except the Love of God
It is the Love of God that will address your existence
Do not fear for your life, God is the everlasting Life
It is the grace of God that will undress you
And pour the spirit of God into your being
This is the covenant of unconditional Love
The beginning and the end are tied together
The path of Light is forever beautiful
The Silence within is the secret of life
You are the accord of existence
And everything you know is non-existent
This is the summit of being
Only God occupies your spirit
And your spirit worships only God
It is a spiritual bath, an atonement and a sacrifice
The Truth will be availed to you
And you will see the Light
God is the Light of the world
