Converging Paths

The lattice of the flowing life so very complex
Spreads on the plateau of time of no ends
Woven in a fashion beyond comprehension
Needs the handiwork of an intelligent designer.

In search of the unseen creator of destiny
Hoping to be saved from the storm in the sea of life
We follow the ritualistic paths of different religions 
To worship the common God for His benign blessings.

When the religion becomes the pious way of life
It teaches us to surrender to the Almighty for solace.

The creator engraves His indelible image within us
Enveloped by the introspective mindfulness
Travelling inward on the undefined spiritual path
We discover the eternal core of our essence (Atman).

The pristine petals of the lotus of insight unfurl
In the serene soul illumined by the godly glow
It enters the sanctum of divine consciousness
Finds the mortal agony melt in the pool of peace.

Striving in their own way to get the grace of God 
The two paths converge in search of the eternal truth
