A knower says You reside within my heart <br />But to look within I fall short <br />The knower also says You are everywhere <br />It is with You my existence I share <br /> <br />You created this wonderful world <br />On this colorful canvas Your love unfurled <br />I’m grateful that I am a part of it <br />In body, mind, soul and spirit <br /> <br />Have You created me or I, You? <br />I have to find out what is true <br />You are not different from me <br />For myself that truth I have to see <br /> <br />My questions may sound very absurd <br />Someday I shall be answered <br />Churning within are these queries <br />How do I do away with all my worldly worries? <br /> <br />You, by varied names we call <br />Is the name important? Claims are tall <br />Behind all names there is only ONE <br />Revealed to seekers, who, differences they shun <br /> <br />To You are given varied forms <br />To worship You are set certain norms <br />With empty rituals and customs, You, no one can fool <br />To reach You Love is the only tool <br /> <br />How do I address You? I am ignorant <br />Only You are that which is permanent <br />You have existed throughout eternity <br />Whatever the name, Lord, God or Almighty<br /><br />Bindu Vidyadhar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/almighty-6/
