MY GOD

MY GOD 

The only God I believe in is the one who dwells in the hearts of all, does not curse or send His errant children to hell and blesses all forgiving all error, leads them on to Him here and now and not there and then, the one who is both the One and the Many, who is both transcendent and immanent, both with form and formless, who is His children, the unmanifest and the manifest, the giver of good and the sufferer of evil which is ignorance, who is duality, qualified non-duality and non-duality itself, the form and the substance, the source, course and estuary of the perennial Ganga that flows through space-time through eternity, who is the frozen sound, the Om 🕉, who as the poor and the dispossessed is neglected here on earth by His privileged children, who is the soul of the being, who is the very being, who is the orphan's cry, the widow's teardrop, the bereaved mother's pitiful lament, who is the lover, the beloved and love itself, the trinity united in a conscious whole. Such a God is everywhere -- outside, inside, at the crust and in the very core, the alpha and the omega of existence. My Lord, my God, my Beloved, I offer you my heart's whole.
