I traveled a long way seeking God,
but when I finally gave up and turned back,
there He was, within me!

O Lalli!
Now why do you wander
like a beggar?
Make some effort,
and He will grant you
a vision of Himself
in the form of bliss
in your heart.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Souren Mondal 07 October 2015

A very well said and apt thought.. God is within us, but we spend too much time searching for God in places of worships and performing religious rituals...
