Written 4 October 2023 Placed 9th in : Immanent Yet Transcendent Poetry Contest Sponsored by Unseeking Seeker Immanent Yet Transcendent Just like the shine of a bright sun Tears away darkness all around, Illuminates the path of man And guides him on the earthly mound, So the light of the inner self Goads him in his voyage of life, In the way forward of the self Amidst the odds of daily strife. For some, the soul strewn with the dust Of ego and evil intents, Enfolded with layers of rust Shines dim as from a distance; For souls marked with noble deeds And illumined with noble thoughts The inner light is bright, indeed, And sparkles afar like a shot. Such souls drawing from the divine, With their immanent light bestow Upon dimmer souls their own shine And steer their way with their glow; Yet not every immanent soul Can reach the transcendental phase, Attain the Supreme Divine Whole And forsake the material stage. Transcendental souls worth the name Are those who can cross time and space, Their mind and all their emotions tame, Are rewarded with divine grace And, immersed in spiritual thoughts, Move beyond spirituality To be above the common lot With the light of Divinity. Let`s salute such enlightened souls, Immanent yet transcendent, Who make the divine realm their goal And sincerely serve as servants In spreading spirituality, The spirit of the divine grace And the shine of the Trinity To all, irrespective of race.
