ODE TO CLARA

There is nothing wrong

Nothing can go wrong

For something to go wrong

The universe has to be wrong.

Geeta, Krishna, Buddha and Jeesus

Mohammed, Sai, Rumi

Nisargdatta, Ramana and Shankara

All have to be wrong.

You have to be wrong

I have to be wrong

But in my heart

I know I am not wrong.

Who said it

Or who says it now

Who wrote the Upnishads

Does it really matter how?

Was Mahabharat real, Ram sent Ravan packing

Hanuman burnt Lanka down

Or Jeesus who turned water into wine

Whatever they did could not be wrong.

If I were to thank all

Who taught this truth ultimate

I will have to include you

Him, her, it and all the rest.

But thank you indeed, Clara

For you are

Who makes all difference

Coalesce into just one.
