Mira asks: Is all this God stuff real?

More advice from Mira about inviting God as Lover into our lives. The "flute" in this piece refers to the flute of Krishna, Miera's beloved. It refers not just to the lyrical flute that Krishna plays that opens our hearts with music, but is also a double entrendre for the phallus. Enjoy. Girls, think twice before inviting God near. His charms will turn you into a slave--are you ready for such a wonderful bondage? What if your human lover is just about ready to insert a pulsating mass into your forest and rain there; what if just as he/she enters --you hear His flute calling, could you run outside in a second, naked, and ready for the world to make fun of you; for you who can really see Him. Everyone may think you are worshipping a mirage. And what if He asked you to give all your gold bangles and fine cloths to the next beggar you see? Giving him our clay (our body) to shape is one thing, for this can excite us, but when our jewelry and silk are at risk surely it is time to seriously ask is all this God stuff-- real?
