1993-0000 Poem ‘Why meditate?’ Sharon K. Collins, Los Angeles from 1993-0200 Sudarshan, Volume 2, Number 1, Page 3

When I close my eyes and quiet
succumbs my mind
I think of air, I think of breath,
I think of food and shelter, it is all there.
I think no more. I am lifted within,
my Spirit moves me, I sway from side to side.
Love, peace and harmony take control,
I am content and glad.

I am blessed, I know it.
I smile because I have traveled
to a perfect place.
It is called temple of perfection or
temple of truth, it can also be referred to as
Thy sacred body of love and peace...GOD.
I have explored me and now I know myself.

It is a wonderful absolute exhilarating feeling
to know that I know what I know, absolutely.
I am indeed happy with me
and now I am happy with you.
I have joined in on the celebration of living,
and now it is time for me to go
and spread peace and love forever.
