If God Ever Offers To Befriend Me*... Poem by M D Dinesh Nair

Dinesh, you have always something up your sleeve to make the scene burning! How can you call Him Valsa Ma'm's God? I fear He might say to me... 'You praise me with your mouth and honour me with your lips, but your heart is far from me'....! In God's kingdom, the last shall be first and the first, last! So who knows if Mr. Dinesh Nair would once look down upon Valsa madam from Heaven's high seats! ! I feel you really want to be befriended with God!

Thank you Aswath for your dimension talk! Once a friend of mine teaching Mathematics also seems to have told me about God`s dimensions and His forms and added that He could visit one in the form of a cat or dog or even an insect. I have thenceforth been very curious about all such animals seen around me from time to time and am afraid to say of late I have begun to be fed up with the wait though. Aswath, I share thoughts with Stephen Hopkins and obviously do not subscribe to faith of any kind. I have travelled that extra mile into the science of the facts behind the universe, its origin and the chance life on the Earth our dear planet. Science has never co-related anything with any concept of creation, preservation and destruction of anything by a mysterious force like God. Out of many many trillions of organisms surviving on the planet less than 000000000000.13 percent of them in the form of man alone is bothered about such concepts. Our existence on the dying planet is a mere chance existence effected by the accidental position of the Earth between the Venus and the Mars and because man has evolved himself into an intelligent or brainy species with imagination and unique philosophy of interpreting what is unknown, 'all these' have come to stay. The chance existence of life on the earth will in no time be gone and there will be no material solid or liquid in form to tell the past. All our human escalations are unfortunately to be swept of by the winds of worse times ahead. It is not within our hands to avert it and the mere philosophy of wrongly interpreted dimension theory of weak minded explorers of science cannot stand by our cause of an ideal or much cherished existence on the earth. My poem hovers around and searches for seeing the bare minimum halo around your God. I won`t advise you to think differently as atheism as a way life may not be that promising. But many of my poems on the PH are expressive of the non-entity of the God you all speak of. It`s not the question of my failure to see Him that has to upset you and many others, but the level of hypocrisy that encases your beliefs and the blended manipulations, colourful lies and lingering apprehensions that has to haunt you. I am unable to befriend the one and only God for He has miserably failed in my tests conducted on behalf of the mankind. Thank you Aswath and be like the majority befriending Him.

A mythical write. I was about to say that God necessarily not have the shape of a Man or even an animal for that matter, but your third para was quite sufficient. I don't know how you perceive God, as a person with ultimate authority and a puppet master for this entire universe, or as a form of energy, the sole beginning and reason for everything. If I remember correctly, Einstein said once, I can see a clock but I fail to envision the clock maker. Human minds cannot even think of four dimensions and how will it conceive the Idea of God, before whom a thousand year and thousand dimensions are as one? Now when you want to be crucified or toe-nailed, if you happen to meet God, lets say, on a bright sunny day, wont that contradictory to the basic response of a rational mind, which is undoubtedly to believe something you can scientifically explain? Is it not a kind of escapism from the FACT (By the time you see feel and touch, God would become a fact) **Now I feel sir, there is only ONE God and different people call him different names! As the poem is very much expressive and indeed thought provoking!

A nice expression of suppressed feelings thrown out through imaginations. A strong desire to feel the pulse of God is the highlight. Thanks for sharing.

Well, Gratitude immense, dear Dineshji, for your powerful versification. I wonder, and am delighted, at the responses, reviews, expressions from much lofty realms of acumen those bards have selflessly submitted in respect to your good self. Your poem has successfully triggered many souls. Beyond the conventional possibilities of a verse, your thought as it incarnated into exceptionally enthusiastic souls, attained much repute and blessings. For an ordinary reader, it might leave a gentle irritation of a controversy. But, the kind of ideological and intellectual explosion your verse has caused still resounds far behind the mass-less walls of souls. I wish your robust current belief got more mellow to consider leading a genuine Yaga in pursuit of the absolute understanding; Is there, if yes, Who and How, Why and Why Not. Vijayee Bhava:

Dear Ozark Mountain Homegrown and Matt Mooney, I have asserted the non existence of God all across the lines and my conditions for befriending Him clearly point to that. If theists are ready to accept any kind of God just because they think He is there, I am daring enough to say it is not possible for me. I request you to read my poems/.submissions of the kind when you feel free and I shall be reading yours too. Regards..

This fine poem comes so close to God it's hard to believe it was written by an atheist. There is a touch of doubting Thomas after the Resurrection about it. Pope Francis recently spoke with great understanding on the subject of atheism. Anyway I admire the poem.

God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement. a very unique and thought provoking write sir...

Gd lives in our hearts and minds. He is forever and forever. excellent write.

I feel very elated reading al the innumerable comments on this poem............as you have rightly pointed out, God is one, he resides in each ones heart, n if gotten a chance to befriend him, means nothing less than being with him in heaven.............ur last para on getting shot / crucifixed, death be it in any manner, ulimately the sole destination would be near God, the only path of befriending Him...........a gud write Sir
