(Dedicated to Ben Skoler)<\/p>\n

Just as beloved wholeness was his emphasis
\nRegarding the individual’s spiritual quest,
\nSo Gandhi strove for that sacred synthesis:
\nThe macrocosmic marriage of East and West.
\nAnd to those who said he was an incarnate god
\nHe stressed his natural birth and earthy side:
\nA son of Adam, or soul implanted clod,
\nWho wished to live in comfort when he died.
\nFor the surest sign of Gandhi’s integrity
\nWas empathic humour that humanized his zeal;
\nWithout it religious fervour and chastity
\nMight well have shrunk his capacity to heal.
\n++<\/span>Lest fatal fission blast our precious Earth,
\n++<\/span>Like Gandhi we must grasp wholeness’ worth.
