"INFINITY, THY NAME IS GOD" Mankind was blessed With the wanderlust And I kept Changing my abode, But how so far or How much I roamed, Oblivious I was of God.
Knowledge I acquired, In His kingdom But bereft I remained, Of the wisdom.
Gradually and slowly My spiritual inclination, Led me to meditation.
Is She good? Or is He bad? Asked the child, Within me.
Don't you dare To inquire about Gods Chided the grown up That was me.
Circumventing around the truth To and fro Grown up I was Physically though.
But then one day Somebody narrated This to me God is a Stranger, Well-known to all of us And At the dawn of existence There was no temple No shrine or abbot No church Or the cathedral And during those times, In God's domain There was No Hell or the Heaven.
God had kept time, The fourth dimension, Beyond the manipulations Of those Who served Him Ever since The genesis of existence.
While the Mighty Pendulum of Time, Rocked back & forth, Only change remained unchanged While those at his services, Underwent a change.
And of many vices Those mankind now adorn, Jealousy, ego And identity crises were born.
For having served him, For so long, They too wanted to acquire, The status of God.
Watching them Curiously For six days, God smiled, And then on the seventh day, He tried To create a stage For his actors, Who now differed In their attitude And instead, Wanted to be the director.
Hence, proceeded they, To confront the God And addressed Him, " Oh! Lord, You are the source And we are the rays, Aren't we the same, In so many ways? For so long have we, Served you Oh! Almighty So why don't you Lend us your name.
" God replied, Thinking of a game, "I am but one And only one, And only one of you Can be given my name.
" "Since only one of you Can dwell in my abode.
So let me know, Which of you shall be, Referred to as God?" The ego of, Every one of them Was hence at stake And they fought And fought to eliminate others For name's sake Until God intervened, With a nod For only two of them Were left to contest And only one of them Was to become, The Almighty God.
God said to them, "You have used, The tools of aggression To achieve my fame.
You have been playing For long, this game, Even I wish one of you To be worthy of my name But for doing this You don't have to pay Any price So let me see, Who is wise? For we shall play The game of dice The dice of fate Has two gates While one is black The other one is white Based on the Colour You will choose One of you may win And the other will lose And unto you two, Shall open Gates of the hell And gates of the heaven And while I rest For a while Let one of you two Prove the other futile.
For then and only then One of you Shall get my name And hence we will, End this game.
" The game began By God's grace Heaven is where One of them went While hell was left For another one To brace.
Now one of them was Ruling the hell While the other one was The king of the heaven.
The king of the hell Was named as devil While heaven's ruler Was called an angel.
To angel, Said the devil "Let you have The control over the life While domain of the death, Let it be mine.
Let the creation prevail And let the destruction shine.
May I be In the house of ill-reputes, And let you be, In the hall of fame.
Let us keep Playing this game Let us endeavor, Till doom's day, And let the day and night, Have equal say.
Quite often though, Devil is fascinated For hell is where, Goodness is assassinated Providence of god, In heaven, They deride And through deceit, Their evil design, They hide.
To be good is A reason to be tensed And for remaining bad Forever You have to enhance Your power, your ego Or whatever it takes Difficult but possible it is For good and bad To exist together.
Many juxtaposed traits Were then born And the vendetta is Still going on.
But none of the angels Or the devils Got God's name, And it seemed that The dice of fate was Still rolling For God was still Playing the game.
Many years later, Ruler of the hell was, Blessed With a daughter And king of the heaven was Blessed with a son.
Impeccable though May be But strange are The ways of God Howsoever hard They might have tried, But eventually it happened For it was destined Together they were And made for each other While she was The reigning beauty And pristine He was handsome And very kind.
Off they went To persuade But devil and The Angel were No soul mate.
So as to evince The sanctity of ugliness Devil spoke to his daughter, "Companionship of the angel, You seek! But how can you be So meek? Listen my child, God has deputed us To devastate their existence And to demolish Their pride And about their alliance With the God They have utterly lied So you see my child Of the son of the angel You can never be a bride.
" Now it was the Turn of the angel So addressing his son Thus spoke the angel "Evil as they are They are outrageous And wild They sing whenever Someone is crying And they laugh Whenever Someone is dying.
" Both tried But in vain For they were Now in pain The pain of Separation Solitude and that Which is Inflicted through The castigation.
But where There is a will There is a way All bonds They broke With their heritage So that Together They could stay.
Forbidden they were From the hell And the heaven Held in Abeyance They were now For they had now No place to go So they approached The Almighty God Who was aware of Their predicament And hence proceeded To pronounce The birth of Planet Earth And of the Sun And the Moon And God assured them That Earth will have Best of the hell and Best of the heaven.
"And on earth My little ones You will be known as Man and the woman And you will commit Good deeds and sin For you are The combination of The hell and the heaven Of birth and death You won't be free For you will forget The original me" And from awe and dread, Reverence and veneration Suffering now is This generation For we have now God of the calm And God of the Sorrow God of today and The God of tomorrow God of war And God of peace God of the East And God of the West God of fields And God of the forest And in the name of God We now have The mosque And the temple The church And the cathedral God above And God beneath God and God So many gods Of Gods and divinity All propound But Godliness is Yet to be found While God is still In self imposed exile Death dances And devil smiles.
Naked and in pandemonium Humanity cries Barabbas, The barbarious survives And once again Jesus dies Death, destruction And distraught And all this happens In the name of God.
