GOD

God, said the Rishis of old

is not thought of as

a distant and unseen ruler in the sky.

He has been here with us!

We have had stories told.

Like us, He played out His roles

Son, friend , husband, lover!

And then, the Father, bold.

God, said the Rishis of yore,

is not thought of as just

a formless and ever unattainable essence,

for that, would have been a limitation,

albeit subtle;

And God, ever fixed upon the seeker's brow,

is unlimited, as we know :

When there is yearning in both Creator and creation

to meet,

He surely comes,

and who on earth then, can Him forbid?!!

God, said the rishis of yore

is not a distant ruler in the sky

Namah Shivaye,

Aum Namah Shivaye.
