Conscious Awarenessof God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
Conscious Awarenessof God.
The mystical experience
cannot be reduced to logical formulation
or adequately expressed symbolically.
But there is a conscious awareness
of God, though it is ever tenuous
and tinged with doubt.
On the conceptual level,
where logic and rationality
are in command
the mystical experience
may admit of doubt.
In fact, it may perhaps admit of
nothing else but doubt.
But on the level of immediate intuition,
it admits of no doubt.
This is a level in which,
an experience impresses
itself upon us directly
without ambiguity.
It is the level on which we experience
reality as we experience our own being.
In this level, there exists no doubt.
So it is futile for a man to insist
on a logical formulation
of the process or the experience.

This is a level in which, an experience impresses itself upon us directly without ambiguity. Yes, this mystical conscious awareness goes beyond logic. For it is said that God is a spirit and only with the eyes of the spirit can one understand such concepts. Though men go about practicing their different religions, God is beyond religion and only a few can grasp this concept. Thank you for sharing such deep and beautiful concept.
