Think of Krishna as Christ
Or Vice Versa
Set aside the metaphysics
And the mythology
Be it of Krishna or Christ
For no one knows for sure
What is true and what isn’t.
Treat the power of Original Sin
The same as of Maya
Or the other way around
Both but claims of the reasons
For your unawareness
Of the Divine that ‘s Thou.
Believe in the power of Puja
The same way as that of Worship
Be it with incense sticks or myrrh
Be it with candles or oil lamps
Be it with song, hymns flower or fruit
All but petitions for comfort
Amidst the ups and downs in your life
And of fellow man
All but caused by your unawareness
Of the Divine that’s Thou.
Live up to the calls of the Christ,
His Sermon on the Mount
And his Beatitudes
And Krishna’s call for selfless service
To the poor and the underprivileged
And to live your life
In tune with your assigned Dharma.
What difference would it make then
If you consider yourself Hindu, Christian
A Christian Hindu or a Hindu Christian.
