Guest guest Posted November 22, 1999 Report Share Posted November 22, 1999 Thank you all...Madhava, Anurag Goel, and Jairam Seshaadri, for your complimentary comments on my poem " God's Eyes " . When one writes a poem one seldom thinks of how it will be received. You simply attempt to put down on paper your observations, feelings, experiences. When those touch someone else it is always a surprise to me. To answer Jairam's question as to whether or not I have seen " those eye's " . Yes. However, I must say that my inspiration was two-fold. Firstly, I was attempting to discribe the eye's of my teacher and after having wrote the poem, a few days later, there was a picture of a homeless man in our local newspaper. They were doing a piece on homeless people in our area. The story told how this man had left his job and family and was now living among the homeless because he continuously heard voices and saw visions. His face and his eye's were those of one who had definitely touched god. Unfortunately, here in the West, such souls are viewed as crazy, insane. I tried for several days to find this man, but to no avail. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 1999 Report Share Posted November 23, 1999 Namasker Sue That was a very moving experience of yours. Your poem touched a chord in my heart too. I came to New York city a few months back for some training on Wall Street, wondering what would happen to my sadhana when I am here. But, I found one such person here too, with those eyes. For those who maybe able to make it to New York sometime, this person's name is Dennis Hartel. His address is Arunachala Ashrama Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi Center 66-12, Clyde Street, Rego Park, New York I am so grateful for having the oppurtunity to stay in New York and see him. I go there every weekend.

I am an engineer and an MBA. I am currently working on Wall Street as a financial analyst. I hardly find people compatible with my interests at work. So, this list is a real blessing for me. I read all mails in the morning before beginning work. It's like a daily morning health tonic.
