Him We Bow

Him we bow

P K Routray

Once with a mission

to see the Lord of this creation

I approached many a master

with hardly any satisfactory answer

But in the snowclad Himalaya range

I met a half clad long haired sage

whom I accepted as my master

on the lord to remove my mortal blur.

One day I gathered courage

“Show me God” I asked the sage.”

The Lord, he agreed to show me

Next morning was fixed for me to see

On appointed time when we met for the event

he asked me the form in which God should be present

I took time off to reflect and to reply

with many forms coming to my mind’s eye.

“Is it a tree, an animal, a man or a mountain

an ocean, the sun, the moon or a fountain?

No, it is none, those are His creation.”

Came thus my conclusion after a deep meditation,

He is the God who liberates us from miseries

and gives us happiness and robs our worries

That is a state of equilibrium and tranquility

I was searching such form  without clarity

The God is truth and fountain of love as also we know

The God can only be realized but not to be seen, Him we bow.

(N.B Here “I” stands for a disciple who was seeking to see the Lord)
