A Monk With No God

“a homogeneous mass of consciousness, God as the all there is, mind cannot name being both immanent and transcendent, living light intimate in heart aflame”
Faceless as an abstract concept, clairvoyant moment on the heart. Formless as smog and smoke you can feel Him all around you though He isn't there.... Mind cannot shape an image but it can converse with intimate delight. Devotion and intercession gatherings of adoration and worship we draw Him in, through hymns and prayer. Buddhist Monk * Priest Rabbi, Imam, Pujari, Pandit ! all devotees of the One Almighty God. Homogeneous by tapestry of life's reform, an entity so priceless, one cannot disparage.

This is a quietly potent poem of devotion. It acknowledges that the Divine may elude our concepts, yet invites us into worship, longing, and unity across traditions. It balances humility (we cannot shape an image) with affirmation (all devotees of the One Almighty).
