nothing better


trade in the worldly games and show
for the gem of truth 
this is not something that will leave you 
in poverty like a man that has nothing 
it is like a trading in of that which 
does not have true worth
for then you can be wealthy in spirit 
and this is much more enduring 
because it does not 
leave ever 
and is to bring great joy 
which the things of the world do not

trade in the worldly games and show
for the knowing beyond all knowledge 
but this is not a bartering thing 
as i will give you this 
and you give me that 
it is like a total handing over 
without knowing what is left 
and then what remains is nothing 
which is very good 
because this nothing is full 
of peace, light and love 
much better than that which is 
exchanged for something else 

trade in the worldly games and show 
for the light of all 
though this is not like a man that is 
to make something from it 
it is like a man that is to 
make less from it 
and by this makes more 
now let the mind ponder that 
as it will not get it ever 
as mind wants something in return 
always 
but this is not really beneficial
as it is a heaping on of more 
baggage to carry 

trade in the worldly games and show 
for the lasting joy of the heart 
this is like a trading in of 
the external drama for 
great rest and silence 
what better is there than this?
nothing better at all
