The Desert Experience And The Experience Of God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore
The Desert Experience And The Experience Of God.
The sufferings and the aloneness
of the desert must be endured
so that he may attain the knowledge
and even the experience of the transcendent
and inexpressible God.
It is the attention of the whole being
which is called to task
in the pursuit of the ultimate being.
It is the intimate union with God
which a monk seeks for.
By the force of the subdued, instructed,
and formed will, the mind is disposed
to recollection and attention,
and the attention is fixed on God
by recalling thought when it wanders
or reviving it when it fades away.
The desert experience
which an earnest seeker
should undergo is the preparation
for the experience of God‘s presence.
Sounds spiritual much, needs much investigations, thanks for sharing the poem with us

I cite a few lines of your poem: The sufferings and the aloneness, of the desert must be endured...the preparation for the experience of God‘s presence. It is the intimate union with God....which a monk seeks for....and centuries before this monk, Jesus had done that before being crossed on Golgotha. Now I just know here that a monk should do this too. Thank you for your fascinating poem, Dr. Tony. GBU Abundantly.
