Episode 71: Making Peace with Tradition

“Creation, like a prism
Fragments the pure white light of Truth.
People in different lands
Catching sight of different colors
Have taught that ‘It is green’
Or ‘It is gold!’
Today, from the seeds of light
Scattered over the Earth
We reap a rainbow harvest.”

Alakananda Ma
