Sage speak

Oh hermit, we have heard that you have seen, that which is unseen, namely the face of God and that too in broad daylight, so with folded hands, we request you to please teach us all the practice, following which, we too may see the light. Dear soul, the path to follow is pathless, appearing on its own when we seek with a pure heart, in childlike trust, making mindful every touch, seeing God’s light in all for that is the truth, so recognised in the cave of our heart.

Hello Unseeking Seeker, I admire the creative form of “Sage Speak.” The poem’s structure, narrowing down to a single word/line, mirrors the spiritual journey it describes. By stating the path to seeing God is "pathless," the poem acknowledges the paradoxical nature of the spiritual journey. Very nicely done! Best wishes, Don

Your soulful whispers are a balm for the ears, are soothing for the eyes, an epiphany for the soul, especially at a time when freedom is so precarious and volatile. Your willingness to share with fellow souls transcends from a blissful place and is well appreciated. Congratulations on your POTD US! xo

Dear Unseeking seeker, I have seen that you spiritually go deeper and deeper with your penning. This is a wonderful POTD and you are most deserving of the recognition. "seeing God's light in all", particularly stood out as it's not an easy task. Blessings to you and your profound spiritual insights..

Actually, this came as a telepathic communication ~ that we should not look at outer form but the spirit indwelling it, the spirit being none other than God. Hence the traditional Indian greeting Namaste, which means God’s light in me greets God’s light in you.
