Strangeness of God




Strangeness of God


In the land of great tradition
In the midst of strong religion
In the soul of deep realization
I stand before the other in adoration
“Namaste” I bow before the God ion you!
We believe God’s presence in every one of you.

In the beginning of the story of Abraham
One can feel the arrival of strange God
At the side of the oak of Mamre
In the fight at night Jacob begs
To the stranger and calls the place “Peniel”
Stranger, he comes, but
Blesses  those who welcomes him in abundance.

During the census, He came to Bethlehem
But no one realized the strange God outside the inn
In the boat, while fishing , getting nothing in the net
One realises the strange God who walked on the sea.
On the way to Emmaus the stranger God
Opened the hearts and eyes, then they realized
The stranger God when they welcomed in.

Vincent and Louise saw their strange God
In the poor and served Him
They met Him in the abandoned, lonely
Convicts, sick, medicates, illiterates… in others
They touched, taught, served and they were transformed
They saw Him in the strangers.

The life is fulfilled in dedicating it to the Giver
Life becomes a blessing when one welcomes the strange god.

Today we bow before you Lord who present in the other
Today we welcome you Lord in the strangers
Today we realise God that you are in us and in others.
The realisation of AhamBrahmasmi, Thattvamasi – the Immanuel.
