His Presence

His presence

P K Routray

with naked eye or aided eye

to locate Him level best, we try,

with all our senses singly or together

Him we try to smell, feel and hear

but fail we

to search Him out rom earth, sky and sea.

Lose we faith in Him and doubt His existence

inspite of enjoying His grace and submitting to His sentences.

How forgetful and ignorant are we?

Consciousness within us we cannot see.

As the fragrance of flower,

fromn milk as the hidden butter,

as concealed oil in Mustard seed

Him we ignorant folks cannot read.

He is all-pervading and omnipresent

The life force He is and the essence of each element.

In despair we search Him Hither and thither.

Without His presence in you, you will wither.
