Spiritual Gold

Photographed and processed by trinitystar
God is the only gold you need search for
Opulent and dazzling, overflowing with wisdom
Burrow gently into the depths of your heart
The Golden God wishes you to find Him
He waits uncomplainingly for that moment
For the moment for you to realise
that all on the outside of you is temporal
And that which is on the inside of you is eternal

When will you mine for your Gold?

Gold! gold! in all ages the curse of mankind,
Thy fetters are forged for the soul and the mind.
The limbs may be free as the wings of a bird,
And the mind be the slave of a look and a word.
To gain thee men barter eternity's crown,
Yield honour, affection, and lasting renown. - Park Benjamin
Gold hath no lustre of its own. It shines by temperate use alone. - Saint Francis of Assisi
Do not believe anythingbecause it is said by an authority,or if it is said to come from angels,or from Gods,or from an inspired source.
Believe it only if you have explored itin your own heartand mind and bodyand found it to be true.
Guatama Buddha
"Even after all this time the sun never says to the Earth,"You owe me."Look what happens with a love like that;it lights the whole sky.
Hafiz

Sun is the source of GOLD /light is its gift but the cost is gravity and as that center can be seen as Hell-fire. Your perspectives have such powerful balance, thanks
