WORK IS WORSHIP
 
 
 
Leave this chanting and singing and
 
telling of beads!Whom dost thou
 
worship in this lonely dark corner of a
 
temple with doors all shut? Open
 
thine eyes and see thy God is not before thee
 
 
 
He is there the tiller is tilling
 
the hard ground and where the path-maker
 
 
 
is breaking stones. He is with them
 
in sun and shower,and his
 
garment is covered with dust. Put off
 
thy holy mantle and even like him come
 
down on the dusty soil!
 
 
 
Deliverance? Where is this deliverance
 
to be found? Our master himself
 
has joyfully taken upon him the bonds of
 
 
 
creation; he is bound with us all forever.
 
Come out of thy meditations and
 
leave aside thy flowers and incense!
 
 
 
What harm is there if thy clothes
 
become tattered and stained?Meet
 
him and stand by him in toil and in
 
sweat of thy brow.
