Shalini’s poem emphasises faith, obedience, and spiritual matters for eternal life, promoting happiness and fulfillment through a relationship with God and following His guidance, exclusively for Different Truths.

And yes, if we believe in Him,
we have to obey Him, then we can receive eternal life,
a beautiful life,
a life that is without any pain
without any stress
a life full of happiness!

All we need to do it to follow the Lord,
be like Him and do as He says,
all He asks you is to believe when you ask
that you have received it and you will.

No amount of money,
no amount of fame,
no amount of the worldly things
can take you to Him;
but give up everything in the world;
remember He is the Only One,
the Only living God;
we can get what we want only through Him.

Everything that you own belongs to Him
you are being blessed by Him,
so share what you have extra
and you will be blessed in twofold.
Nothing of these worldly pleasures can get you to go to Him
if you don’t follow Him,
That is why time and again He says ‘I am the way the truth and the life
nothing comes to the Father except through me!

So, come along now it is not too late,
He is waiting with open arms
to welcome each one of you that have been led astray!
