All that God wants is our Love….
Good morning friends,
What would be the best way for us to pray?
Do we, to God, need something erudite to say?
What if someone is born dumb?
And he or she can merely hum,
Would God angrily turn him or her away?
If to the above we give some thought,
One thing would become clear as it ought:
God requires our love not our knowledge;
To reach Him we don’t have to go to college,
He comes to one who has with loving heart sought.
Eons ago when there was no knowledge and languages,
God came to ordinary people and not just to sages.
If one were to require special skills,
And rituals and ostentatious frills,
God won’t have been with us throughout the ages.
Billions of beings and yet with God we are one to one,
And each one of us is like his daughter or son.
He listens to our heart’s cry,
And doesn’t ask ‘What’ and ‘Why’,
He doesn’t rest until what we asked for is done.
….not our knowledge or rituals.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
