How Can I Meet God? Poem by Archana Kapoor Nagpal

How Can I Meet God?

Rating: 4.5


The child asked the father, ‘How can I meet God? ’
Father smiled and said, ‘I will tell you’,
In the seven colours of rainbow,
In the bunch of roses,
Enjoying a high tide at the Arabian Sea coast,
In the rising sun, and the shining moon,
You will meet God,

The child asked the father, ‘How can I meet God? ’
Father smiled and said, ‘I will tell you’,
In the innocent smile of a child,
At the top of Everest,
In the cluster of stars,
Or the nine revolving planets,
You will meet God,

The child asked the father, ‘How can I meet God? ’
Father smiled and said, ‘I will tell you’
In the gesture to help a stranger,
In the effort to eradicate someone’s pain,
In the process of feeding a hungry man,
In the thought to share happiness,
You will meet God,

The child asked the father, ‘How can I meet God? ’
Father smiled and said, ‘I will tell you’
In every atom to molecule to cell,
In every drop of your blood,
In every tear from your eye,
In every surprise of your life,
You will meet God,

The child asked the father, ‘How can I meet God? ’
Father smiled and said, ‘I will tell you’
In the act of giving,
In making others happy,
In the feeling of sharing and caring,
Covering a naked body,
You will meet God,

The child asked the father, ‘How can I meet God? ’
Father smiled and said, ‘I will tell you’
Look in the mirror,
If you can convince yourself,
You made everyone smile in your life,
You made everyone happy in your life,
Then only you can meet God,
As God is within you only!
