FINAL CONVERGENCE <br /> <br />In trying to reach the place where both <br />earth and sky meet, <br />I had encircled the globe twice over, <br />With my mission incomplete! <br />In trying to reach the oasis to quench <br />my growing thirst, <br />I found that I had been persuing only an <br />illusory mirage! <br />And when I set out to find that spot - <br />Where both the rail tracks appeared to <br />have converged, <br />The more I travelled ahead, more those <br />tracks diverged! <br />Thus Divergence appeared to be the only <br />prevailing thing, <br />And Convergence was just like an unrealised <br />dream! <br /> <br />Then finally one day I set out in earnst, <br />To seek the Lord, and to be blessed; <br />And travelled through many divergent <br />paths, with very little rest! <br />Offered my sincere prayers at the Church, <br />the Temple, the Mosque and the Synagogue; <br />Performing many penance and even getting <br />myself flogged! <br />Till I realised that all divergent paths did <br />finally converge, <br />Into that Divine One, they all did submerge! <br />So let us forget all our petty bickering, - <br />For in Him we move, live, and have our <br />entire being! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> 30 Apr08 <br /> New Delhi<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/final-convergence/
