In search of Him

“Today you shall find God.”

A voice in dream proclaims.

With the rain of shine he wakes

in the morning, takes a bath.

The voice has made him alert.

He sees the birds on the porch;

can one of them be God?

He chuckles; fixes his tie.

Has not every office day

same face and same attire?

Still he looks at the person

sitting beside him in tube

dozing to celebrate life.

Is he God or at least seraph?

Ticket? He looks at the man,

the lean, forlorn conductor.

Is…..

The vagabond asks, “Money?”

He this day subscribe to faith;

puts a coin on the tramp’s palm.

“God bless you.” He says….Is he?

He searches on the face

of the colleagues, peons…

on the shape of the bread

on dogs, trees and pigeons…

at night the dream speaks again

“Today you had met Him, son.”

Suddenly he understands.

This is beautiful, Kushal. In giving unconditional love to others, we find the god within and our own divine nature.

"Whatever you do to the least of my brother, that you do unto me." Jesus said this and I believe we are serving God when we serve others.

Beautiful poem and wonderful thoughts!

A wonderful poem Poddar of faith and the continuous search of the divine, the meaning of life - and it reminds me of people who at a certain stage of their lives make a pilgrim to some lonely sanctuary, to be with God and reach self composure.
