I longed to understand the person they called God
poring over religious texts, I could not understand
somehow, the great personality He was made of
I had questions that one had no clear answers to.
I joined a group who said they will bring verily, Him
close to me, just as I had become very close to them
but then I knew, they were a group like many others
caring only for more members getting added to them.
I went to places of worship with people chanting
who appeared holy, just as He appeared to us all
as we left those sacred places, was I surprised
to see them engrossed in petty chatter and rant?
I went to those mountains searching for dear Him
on the way, a huge tree fell and barely missed me
In my weary wanderings, as I got up from sleep
a snake meandered away, how close was I to death.
Then as I continue to trod on, in desolate jungles
thirsting for water and dreading many a beast
whose fearful voices were too close for comfort
was I pleased, to see a pool that appeared as feast?
It was one night when due to lack of moonlight
I stepped on a stone and fell, I not knew where
as I sensed up, I saw a stranger attending to me
Why he cared for me, when God still eluded me?
Why was it, the Great Teacher that He was
fail to appear, putting a halt to my journey?
Holding a peaceful smile on his lips, He asked
Son, why do you think, He evades you, a seeker?
Just as you care for the kids and pets at home
He keeps a roving eye upon you, all the time.
A tree pauses before it falls, a snake beguiled
a helping hand such as me, send to tend you.
Do not ever think, He does not see or think of you
He may not always comfort or deliver what you ask
but if it is Him that you ask for and long to be with
He will put a halt one day to help you attain bliss…

Amazing words!
Thank you Stephen
Beautiful! One that reminds us that you must never lose hope in Him or hope in your faith and stick to your connections. Lovely reaf
I am glad you got the message.

Thank you for this inspiring write up Sunith!
Look within, I said to myself and I found Him!
Very true. thanks for the compliment.
Lovely! But I think Him might be a Her too. In my life it is my relationship with Nature that leads me to Her…because She embodies the divine…
Great, great Sunith u nailed it what awesome penned lines. He is always there with us waiting when we will open our arms and tell him this is enough take me home where I truly belong. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Immensely enjoyed the composition. Keep the creative fire burning in u Sunith.
Thank you Dinesh
Ya..i too wish so.. But even then some something puzzling me, like, can’t it be a pure coincidence..
He has placed a spark of Himself within us, but we don’t do a very good job of letting it shine.
thank you for the beautiful comment
May we all find our great teacher

The truth of all our lives. The one we always elude to believe for it doesn’t fit into our scheme of things. Inspiring words Sunith.
