The Universe

The universe is not dead.
Therefore, there is an Intelligence there, and it is all pervading.
At least one purpose, possibly the major purpose,
Of that Intelligence is the achievement of universal harmony.

Striving in the right direction
For Peace (Harmony), therefore, as well
As the achievement of it, is the
Result of accord with that Intelligence.
It is desirable to effect that accord.
The human race, then, is not
Alone in the universe.
Though I am cut off from
Human beings, I am not alone.

For untold ages, man has felt
An awareness of that Intelligence.
Belief in it is the one point
Where all religions agree. It has
Been called by many names.
Many call it God.
