HOW CAN YOU ?




 






                                          (  I  )

                      I wish to see God, my soul proudly asks
                                As if it were an easy, simple task ;
                                The Lord, so many million-suns-bright
                         How can it bear, your feeble, human sight?
                                The Lord who is as vast as limitless sky
                                How can you enlarge your mind to identify?
                                The lord who is fathomless as the deepest seas
                                How can you delve deep within your soul to see?
                                The Lord who shines like million tongues of volcanic fire
                                How can you dare to entertain such a desire?
                                The Lord, Creator of vast dimensions of Time and Space
                                Beyond your mind’s limit, how can you ever trace?
                                The Lord who throbs in every smallest mite
                                How can you realize His supramental light?

                                                                     (   I  I  )  

                                  The Lord who spreads His blessings in gentle breeze
                                  Can you ever dare to feel with spiritual ease?
                                  You know not your own self in ignorance caught
                                  Bound by illusion and web of desires self-wrought;
                                  Most omnipotent power He doth yield
                                  His breath of life throbs ev’n in tiniest seed;
                                  In lifeless objects too and in every atom and cell
                                  His immanent shaping power ever dwells;
                                  He sports with joy in this universal maze
                                  His omnipresent form beyond your narrow gaze;
                                  His omniscient schemes beyond your narrow creeds;
                                  You can’t remember your own sinful thoughts and deeds;
                                  My bosom humbled, free from egoistic ways
                                  Found hope at last in His ever flowing Grace .

                             **********************************************************************

               1)      Supramental  =   above normal mental level
               2)     Immanent       =   Existing within
               3)     Omnisicent     =   know everything
               4)     Omnipotent   =    have unlimited power
               5)     Omnipresent  =    present everywhere
             

        Note : Ordinary human beings cannot directly see God. In Mahabharata Lord Krishna bestows spiritual vision to Arjuna so that he could witness His cosmic form encompassing all planets, elements and spiritual worlds. Only yogis who reached perfection can see his form at a subdued level. Even for that they have to get the grace of God. Sincere devotion and total surrender are the means by which ordinary mortals can realize to some extent about the greatness of God.  God is known by his supreme qualities like omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience. He is the creator, preserver and destroyer of all worlds and beings. But  we can feel His presence wherever we see qualities like beauty, love, wisdom,sympathy, non-violence, forgiveness, patience, peace, selfless service, sacrifice and truth.  

"God dwells in His creation and He is everywhere indivisibly present in all His works. He is transcendent above all His works even while he is immanent in them." ---- A.W.Tozer
