Where Is God Hiding

God dwells in the sanctum sanatorium of my heart, Even at death of mortal body he does not depart; Ignorance is not the obstacle that blocks him from me, Reluctance to see him stops me in his presence to be..! I know this truth; understand it; and do internalize; Thirst - unquenchable - for him in me, yet, does not arise; Human beings, many, search him endlessly, but can't find, Though known hundred of concepts on him, I'm willingly blind... Scriptures try to open my eyes; saints and sages show paths. I am not seeker; will I think of death or aftermath? This world and things in it are enough; This thought fills my mind, Even if God comes before me, will I his presence find...? Desire for him should burn in me like the blazing fire, Urge to be with him, like child with father, should grow higher; A heart of flesh not of stone, I must joyously adorn, With an endless love to live in him, I must be reborn...! 26 August 2022 Where is God hiding Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker
