Find you, my God

I can’t find you in the temple,

  I can’t find you in the mosque.

I find you in every creation of yours,

  From a mountain so high to a river so vast.

I can’t reach you through the ‘poojas’,

  I can’t reach you through scriptures.

I reach you through the love I receive,

  Finding you in my service for others.

I can’t do anything special to appease you,

  I can’t fear your decisions.

I constantly try to accept whatever you give,

 Joy, laughter or grim situations.

I can’t desire you outside of me,

  I can’t fathom you as anything else but my conscience.

I see you as the guide within,

  Every second, every moment, every tiniest bit of my existence.
