Whatever-come-along faith is like leaves
blowing in the winds, while
Giving one's power to worldly authority
is faith denied, a soul devoid of freedom.
Awakened faith lives by the Law written on each heart,
that hears and heeds the Voice of Silence.
One's own unique and authentic faith
becomes expressed with utter integrity in action.
Aspire to know the Truth that awakens
in the heart, the Truth that sets you free.
