A Conversation between Dr. Seuss and a well-versed Sikh

Dr. Seuss statements in CAPS...Sikh's response in lower case.

DID YOU FIND THE GREAT SUBLIME?
HAVE YOU CONQUERED SPACE AND TIME?

I did not find the great sublime.
I could not, would not, find the time.

DID YOU SEEK IT IN YOUR FLOWING HAIR?
WAS IT DWELLING IN THE CROWN YOU WEAR?

I did not seek it in my hair.
I could not see it anywhere.
I did not find the great sublime.
I could not, would not, find the time.

DID YOU SHINE IT ON YOUR STEEL KARA?
COULD YOU FIND IT IN THE GURDWARA?

I did not view my thin kara.
I could not go to gurdwara.
I did not seek it in my hair.
I could not see it anywhere.
I did not find the great sublime.
I could not, would not, find the time.

DO YOU PRACTICE SEVA, SIMRAN, SACCH?
DO YOU SPORT A BIG WHITE KACCH?

I practice seva and simran much.
I wear a kanga, kirpan, and kacch.
I did not view my thin kara.
I could not go to gurdwara.
I did not seek it in my hair.
I could not see it anywhere.
I did not find the great sublime.
I could not, would not, find the time.

YOU SAY YOU DO NOT HAVE THE TIME,
NOR WOULD YOU REACH THE GREAT SUBLIME.
YOU SAY IT IS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE.
WHERE, OH WHERE, DOES IT RESIDE?

The great sublime, it does not hide.
The deeper answer lies inside.
I have a quote that is quite neat,
And from this rhyme, I take retreat.
To make my message short and sweet,
Nanak says, "Man jeetai jugg jeet!" [By conquering the mind you conquer the world!]
