We have no name - J. Krishnamurti

 

we have no name
we are as fresh as the breeze of the mountains

we have no shelter
we are as the wandering waters

We have no sanctuary like the dark gods
nor are we in the deep shadow of temples

we have no sacred books
nor are we well-seasoned in tradition

we are not in the incense mounting on the high altars
nor in the pomp of ceremonies

we are neither in the graven image
nor in the rich chant of a melodious voice

we are not bound by theories
nor corrupted by beliefs

we are not held in the bondage of religions
nor in the pious agony of their priests

we are not entrapped by philosophies
nor held in the power of their sects

we neither high nor low
we are neither the worshipper or the worshipped

we are free
our song is the song of the river
calling for the open seas
wandering, wandering
we are life
we have no name
we are as the fresh breeze carrying the mountain rain.

It was written I am but in light of our sangha I thought we are more appropriate.....
