“Be in this world, but not of it.”
Wise words which you should know.
When truly them you understand,
Then with Spirit do you go.

For yes, in flesh you walk.
But flesh is just your wrapping.
If you do think it’s all you are,
Then your flesh your spirit’s trapping.

The body serves to slow you down.
It hides your essence true.
If you never stop to go within,
You never meet the Real You.

Inside you are pure spirit –
Pure consciousness and love,
Connected to the All That Is
As below, just as above.

Yes, you’re in this world
And here you must live,
But your life here lasts not forever
So some deep thought please do give.

Be not mired in thoughts
Of material things.
Keep your thoughts oft on God
And the love that God brings.

Then you can know
What does mean this wise phrase
When in this world but not of it
You live out your days.
