"Poetry: Righteous Path" by kk



The wondering soul lost in the dark
How would I walk through the heaven’s arc
I stand before a sea of Gordian knot(s)
Untie only one, but I fear a foul shot
Which faith will lead to salvation
Which God will lead to elation
I ponder on my own creation
Why am I here; I need an explanation
One religion claiming superiority on another
They go against God’s law: to love all other
Win in one and you lose in another
There is no way you can go any further
Rise above the illusion and look at the whole
You will find the answer lying within your soul
God is one but is seen in countless faces
Call Him by any name; all he embraces
This is how it goes in one of Shakespear’s prose
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet”
Call Him from your heart and He will meet
To drench your soul in eternal spiritual bath
Lead a life that follows the righteous path
Love unselfishly and do good deeds
Unselfish love is where heaven seeds
Become one with the sempiternal soul
There is where you will know your role
You will find yourself in Brahmananda bliss
And so, your religion is where your love is

"We all want to be the best we can be, but how many of us can say we are truly objective?
You have read this poem, now let the poet know how you feel, and comment truly.

As nice as it is to read "great poem"
it does not make us better and does not give us an indication of what made it great.
Not all of us are literature students, remember to comment on things like style, subject and form.

So leave a comment, and help others in this community"

A truly great poem, you have a stady writing hand and a sharp mind that is blesd whit Gods light.

And they say: "Allah has taken to himself a son". Glory be to Him; rather, whatever is in the heavens and the earth is His; all are obedient to Him (116). The Originator of the heavens and the earth; and when He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be", and it is (117).

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet”
Call Him from your heart and He will meet

(and the rhyme scheme was great too!)

Dear KK,

This is a spectacular poem…here is what the Bliss of Brahma inspires in this poet:

The wondering soul lost in the dark
- *Oh that the Truth could be our bark!
How would I walk through the heaven’s arc
- *”Heaven’s within!” says the meadowlark!!

I stand before a sea of Gordian knot(s)
- *And hear the commands of many pilots…
Untie only one, but I fear a foul shot
- *Look to the Untier, He is what’s sought!

Which faith will lead to salvation
- *Your faith alone, if you seek education.
Which God will lead to elation
- *God is One, no second station!
I ponder on my own creation
- *Let this be still-recreation.
Why am I here; /I need an explanation/
- *Let the answer come from within, no hesitation.

One religion claiming superiority on another
- *God is One – Truth is my religion, brother!
They go against God’s law: to love all other
- *Let them who hold hatred be rent asunder.
Win in one and you lose in another
- *Man has organized truth – oh, brother!
There is no way you can go any further
- *Yet there is a shore that’s still further…

Rise above the illusion and look at the whole
- * Find the diamond amidst the coal!
You will find the answer lying within your soul
- *When you do this your light shall be Whole.

God is one but is seen in countless faces
- *Our planet is one with countless species and races.
Call Him by any name; all he embraces
- *Give praise to the ONE who made fingertip-traces.

This is how it goes in one of Shakespear’s prose
- *If you would water gardens, use the hose.
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet”
Call Him from your heart and He will meet

- *What is the game – the one I chose?
- Tell me who are you going to meet?
- Go within your heart and know God is in the street!

To drench your soul in eternal spiritual bath
- *Yes, now you see the One before math.
Lead a life that follows the righteous path
- *This is truth, if you would have good aftermath.

Love unselfishly and do good deeds
- *Perform this now, and plant no weeds!
Unselfish love is where heaven seeds
- *And giveth like the Job’s Tear beads.

Become one with the sempiternal soul
- *Now, you are talking – Be ye full!!!
There is where you will know your role
- *Work in perfection fulfills the inner-pull.

You will find yourself in Brahmananda bliss
- *That Thou Art – you should know this!
And so, your religion is where your love is
- *Religion is Truth, God’s Name,
o and all Bliss is His.

Bism’Allah, Ir-Rahman Ir-Raheem:
Baruch Shem Kivod Malchuto Layolam Vaed::
Yod Hey Vav Hey.

Peace be within you, KK.
May Our God lead us from darkness to light,
from falsehood to truth,
and from sorrow to bliss.
Om. Alm. Aum.

Peace be with you,
in the light of YHWH,
Khy’em Amri
