Where are You My Lord? Where are You?

[Guest guest]

Where are You My Lord? Where are You?

 

I have searched for You In temples and ashrams

In masjids and minars But, I failed to feel You.

 

I have searched for You In churches and chapels

In gurudwaras and gopurams But, I failed to absorb You.

 

I have searched for You In discourses and bhajans

In meditations and murthis But, I failed to invoke You.

 

I have searched for You In mountains and valleys

In forests and caves But, I failed to see You.

 

I have searched for You in Rivers and rivulets

In brooks and lakes But, I failed to trace You.

 

I have searched for You In flowers and fragrances

In the universe and ether But, I failed to know You.

 

I have searched for You In swamis and sadhus

In gurus and samadhis But, I failed to get You.'

 

I have searched for You In japa and tapa

In fasting and reciting But, I failed to hold on to You.

 

I have searched for You In retreats and resolutions

In resorts and rationalization But, I failed to meet You.

 

I have searched for You Everywhere day and night

It is now beyond my imagination Reveal Yourself Oh my Lord!

 

Ah!You are here my Lord,within Me!Just waiting for me to open up to

You

Yes, You will not reveal to half-hearted efforts Unless I submit

myself by thought, word and action

 

My Lord! You are within me But, fool am I that

I searched for you outside Without giving up what I am holding on

And living up to your expectations. Due to my ignorance and

arrogance

I failed to enjoy Your love for me so far You are just waiting for

my

correct moves

To take me into Your lap.

 

Thank You My Lord! for the transformation Now, I can see You clearly

In every beam of Sun-rays In every moon-lit night In every flower In

every smile

In everything animate and inanimate In fact, You Are and nothing

else.

Thank You My Lord for Your Blessings and Love.

Dear Swamy Mahadevan,

 

You are indeed a blessed soul...it made me cry as I have been experiencing some

of his Leelas...at times one wonder if the mind plays the trick...your last

line of the poem summarise it is not the mind but the Indwelling Lord....!!!

 

Thank you so much & remain Blessed.
