The Ladder To Heaven

Do you know that there is a Ladder to Heaven? For all to climb, be it man or woman But we mustn't stop at step seven or eleven We must go on till we reach our heaven Many of us want to go to God But we don't know the truth about our Lord We just go to a temple, mosque, and church Instead of going on a quest to search The first step to God is Belief For those who don't believe, how can they achieve? There are some who are atheist or agnostic A life without faith, they choose to pick But the ones who believe, they take their first step The Ladder to Heaven they start to inspect They know without doubt that God exists They believe and pray and their belief persists There is not a day that they don't Pray With folded hands they go to God and say Not only to the Lord everything they tell They also listen to Him, not just ring the bell The third step on the Ladder is Faith Without this one cannot reach heaven's gate Faith is Full Assurance In The Heart Our journey to God, it helps to start The fourth step on the Ladder is Hope Without Hope, how can anyone cope? Those who believe in God they find He is there when you reach the end of the rope And then, the believers in God, they Trust It is Trust that forms their journey’s thrust Trust is unconditional surrender to God And always accepting the will of the Lord After Belief, Prayer,Faith,Hope&Trust What is it that stands out first? It is Enthusiasm, that is step six 'Entheos', 'In God,' that gets our problems fixed Then comes step seven, it's Love for God We make it a priority, the Love for our Lord To us, God is not someone who lives far away Every moment that we live, with us He does stay It is this Love that makes us seek Our passion for God makes us climb the peak Because we want God, we Go on a Quest And whatever we believed, we put it to test In our search for God we Contemplate We spend time in Silence and for God we wait We don't accept what the scriptures tell And we find the truth about heaven and hell Of course, there is Karma and we must do good As we sow, we reap, we create our own food But step ten on the Ladder is not to live after we die But to learn, how to God our Soul must fly Importance of a Guru is the Ladder's step eleven For without a Mentor, how can we discover heaven? A Guru takes us from darkness to light And to Overcome Ignorance, he helps us fight
