Swami Vivekananda (b. Narendranath Datta)
1.12.1863 Calcutta / D. 7.4.1902 Belur, India
Exhaustion
SEE GOD IN ALL.
Gateway of India
GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
Exactly where the blasting taxi was, I’ve stood
PERSEVERE IN YOUR SEARCH FOR GOD.
Among the child beggars, begrudging baksheesh
TRUST COMPLETELY IN GOD.
That’s exactly where they congregate, among the cars parked by the Taj Hotel
LOVE OF GOD IS ESSENTIAL.
In whose immaculate bathroom I harvested volumes of toilet paper
SEE GOD IN ALL.
Child beggars and the professionally leg-less and maimed
GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
Among them adults for whom the child beggars worked
PERSEVERE IN YOUR SEARCH FOR GOD.
In the fragrant shadow of the swami’s portrait statue
TRUST COMPLETELY IN GOD.
Maddening swarms of wrists
LOVE OF GOD IS ESSENTIAL.
And small hands.
