Day after day, moment to moment To aid me in my dreams Remove obstacles & make things come true Wanting success in both the end & means I pray for your blessings, but only until I get to know You When loved ones are in pain suffering and struggling in life crushed to ground by disastrous rains knocked down to knees by endless strifes I urge you for release, but only until I get to know You A seat by the window or aisle match winning runs in the game I love table to table, move forward the files warring parties to instead settle for the dove I invoke your intervention, but only until I get to know You Decide for me, Engage on behalf of me Make things happen for me, fight for me Choose me, make me, give me, tell me fortunes, future, fantasies and furores I make demands from you, but only until I get to know You And once I get to know You truly and fully.... I can neither urge, pray, invoke nor demand Will a child ask for mothers love? Will a country seek loyalty from a patriot? Will a teacher demand obedience from a faithful pupil ? When I finally get to know You truly and fully When I know your feelings within and actions without When I know that you are and only are, & nothing else but Love, Love and only Love Prayers, Urges, Invocations, Demands.....all witheraway for these are thoughts, words and deeds conceived, expressed and performed in ignorance Of who you truly are and fully embody Love, Love and only Love

Beautiful lines Manoj.. Very well expressed. It’s just Love and Love and Love. That’s it.
To add to it, each time I read the title lines I am reminded of beautiful lines from His one of the discourses.
“There are some who write and speak as if they have known Me, all that is to be known of Me. Well; I can only say this – they can never know Me and My nature, even if they are born and reborn a thousand times. To know Me one has to be like Me, rise to this height. Can ants discover the depth of the Ocean?”
– Divine Discourse Sep 30, 1965.
Know that He is embodiment of LOVE and rise to that standard.
Awesome lines once again.

Thank you NSK. Truly none of us can know Him. We are but born of His grace and die into Him.
Wave can never fathom the ocean.
Pebble can never fathom the himalayas.
Rain drop cannot understand what a thunderstorm is….
We can just be greatful that in our times, the ocean itself, thunder storm itself and himalayas itself decided to be amidst us appearing like us.
This is our greatest good fortune.
Thank you NSK for sharing the excerpt from the discourse.
