Reveal The Secret :

Everybody has a secret

It is so unique a secret

That it makes them proud

And fearful of losing.


Everybody holds the key

To their inner chamber

Where golden treasure is hidden,

Their liberation.


And yet everybody acts

Innocently - No, I am just anybody,

I have no secret, no hidden treasure,

No key to liberation.


Only sometimes, when there's no audience

At curtain's fall, no more show,

Then every actor turns within

And looks at the secret treasure.


Don't play the hypocrite

And the miser, my friend

You know very well

Your share in the Lord's heritage.


Use it, my friend, reveal the secret.

Free yourself from the fear.

Open the key, give up the mask,

Stop the play! This is the real secret!


Swami Sitaramananda, from "Darshan, a Vision of God"
