O’ Lord Jesus where are you hiding?

[Guest guest]

O' Lord Jesus where are you hiding?

Cannot find you anywhere

For the shouting TV churches

Drown Your Silent Love of prayer

For the worldly scene of pleasures

Surely are not Your fare

For the drinking and the gambling

Surely are not Your welfare

For destruction of those misguided

Surely are not Love and Prayer

O' Lord Jesus where are you hiding?

Cannot find you out there

Please reveal Your Place of hiding

In the Silence of my prayer

For Your Kingdom is within me

Love and Kindness are also there

But these words are poor expressions

Of Compassion and Your Care

For Your Acts of Love and Kindness

Are the actions we should share

amarnath's reply:

I do watch some TV Christian preaching and sometimes( here and

there ) are some good things on FORGIVENESS, ACCEPTANCE, etc but

overall it is a big disappointment for me expressed in the following

words :

 

( continuation of the previous poem if you will ) ~

 

Not the shouting that's the problem

For I love to praise the Lord

And the louder is the singing,

The more Silence comes to the fore

>From the Stillness comes the praising

Singing, Dancing in the Lord

It's the dogma that's disturbing

Bringing Tears and Sadness too

O' Lord Jesus show some mercy

Let Your Truth come to the fore

"Love" not "Dogma" is Your Message

Acts of Kindness are needed more

 

~~~~END of poem for the time being~~~~~

 

Please forgive these words. But the very painful truth seems to be

that all religions have burdened mankind with various dogmas that

have done just the opposite of what religions should do. This is why

LIVING Saints like Amma, Karunamayi, Shree Maa, Baba Hari Dass(

silent saint ) and many others are indispensable even to

understand/love Christ, Krishna, Budha and others.

 

Of course if you have the gift of LOVE and COMPASSION in your heart

you can do it all yourself like Peace Pilgrim did.

 

President Thomas Jefferson supposedly edited the New Testament of the

Bible( not with word.doc but with scissors ) taking out all words

that he felt were not spoken by Jesus Christ. The rest he supposedly

meditated on daily. Along these lines, "The Mystic Christ" by Ethan

Walker is very good pointing out the dangers of the egoic mind in

religion.

 

Long time ago, I heard a very dynamic and inspiring spiritual on TV.

One lady (who seemed to stand out as her whole body seemed to be

singing / dancing) was interviewed afterwards. She was asked "what do

you experience singing and moving so dynamically?" her answer

was "INNER SILENCE". I was surprised. I expected her to say Love of

God/Jesus. Now, I understand that Silence, God, Love, Jesus, Amma,

Krishna, "Peace that passeth all understanding" are all ONE.

 

Peace and Blessings,

amarnath
