musings on religious conversion

the well intended but deluded soul 
took on itself to spread God’s word
the fixation soon became its mission
to rescue those deemed wayward

the vulnerable who suffer on earth
tottering on the very edge of despair 
clutch at wisps of straw so proffered
but of absolute truth remain unaware

there is no solace in words and symbols
scriptures merely point out direction
we each need to walk on the path alone
paving way for our soul’s resurrection 

the entity who seeks must drop away
God cannot be caged in conditioned belief
the light eternal is loftier than mind thinks
in vibrancy of staid stillness turn a new leaf

A relationship with God is the most personal one we can have. It is a solo journey of the heart and soul. If He calls to us, there must be something He deems worthy. Inspiring, Seeker.

The heart, yes, that is the centre.

Dear Seeker, Profound and soul hitting, i agree and feel this poem so very much. So many fixated on complicating simple things when reality is as youv said “ the light eternal is loftier than mind thinks” “ but of absolute truth remain unaware“ brilliant! I love every line in this. Especially the opening! So true. Pleasure reading this poem. Sending you light always
