Anjali+,
Your words come out from the soul,
If you know the story as a whole;
Or let me tell as I have known it,
Accept or reject as you deem fit!
God in His oneness didn’t enjoy,
He couldn’t relish what is joy?
Of its monotony he was cloy;
Garden of Eden He employed
Duality of mind and heart ploy,
Satan and Eve, He there deployed;
Civilization was His intellect toy,
So joy happiness he could enjoy.
The civilized man a crafty crow,
Out of the game Him he throws;
To worshipping Him confined,
In inert objects Him enshrined.
For some temples for other the books,
Mosques and idols devised the crooks;
From the equipoise, the men deviate,
His miseries and misfortunes aggravate.
O man, for peace your soul search,
It lies within not in temple or church;
In it the mind and heart combine,
The unity in diversity’s feast dine.

A very nice poem. I enjoyed particularly the last verse. God is god, by whatever name, and he is found within yourself and not in a building where to often we are taught distortions of truth. Though our homes may be far apart we, poet friend, can share so much. Irene
Dear Sharma It is the responsibility of every person to spread such a message like what you have said thru your poem 'ALLAH-RAM-JESUS – The same flame' I wish every one in this globe has the same mentality as you have. Appreciate your courtesy, congratulations for your good work and thanks for the real good message. Thank you for sharing. Nooruddeen
I am in search of, like minded(souls) HUMANS who are more pragmatic than false belief as whole Apply your mind I exhort life on this earth alone is individually fought All else is myth Gods were created by you and me Be true to yourself and say yes else NAY if you want to continue to profess.
Excellent poem [ARJ]… Ramakrishna said ‘God bites as snake and the same God works as voodoo healer… Well if with our little knowledge try to know the Cosmic Game of God…actually we’ll fail… ‘…O man, for peace your soul search, /It lies within not in temple or church; ‘ Sir agree one hundred percent with this…it’s the mindset that matters… It can be reassured as, ‘Change no conductance of my life change me’ Gyanamata-ji [a devotee of Paramhamshan Yogananda-ji] …indeed difficult…agree it… Please Google Self Realization Fellowship… As usual your stroke of nib is gentle stroke to heart 10++ Ms. Nivedita UK
Priestcraft is the only flame that benefits. If you do not seek God on your own...you will never find him/her. Priestcraft tells but do not have God-nearness to prove it!
I do like this one, so I had to come back and read it again. Irene
Oh yes, I do agree. One god with so many names. I enjoyed your poem. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Irene
