Dr. Raghavendra Kumar Raghav
Beyond the dawn of thought He stands,
Beyond where time or silence lands;
No birth proclaims, no end defines,
The Source from which all being shines.
His grace dissolves illusion’s veil,
Where fleeting names and shadows fail;
The heart awakened learns to see,
The matchless One in all eternity.
He walks where neither feet have trod,
The silent, ever-living God.
He hears the prayer no lips have sung,
The truth unspoken on each tongue.
No hands He bears, yet worlds arise,
Each star unveiled in boundless skies;
No mouth to taste, yet every stream,
And fruit fulfill His hidden dream.
No voice resounds, yet wisdom flows,
Like winds that only stillness knows;
Each soul that listens, deep within,
Can hear the hymn that has not been.
No eyes, yet nothing leaves His sight—
The dark concealed, the birth of light.
No skin, yet every touch is His;
Each breath of love, each gentle bliss.
No breath of scent escapes His care;
The rose, the rain, the mountain air—
All fragrances, both wild and sweet,
Find their completion at His feet.
Beyond the senses, yet their flame;
Beyond all forms, yet all the same.
The Formless wears creation’s face,
And every atom sings His grace.
The river, forest, sun, and sea,
The soaring hawk, the ancient tree;
The child who laughs, the sage who prays—
One Life illumines all their ways.
O seeker, search no distant sphere,
The Eternal has always been here.
Within your breath, your silent heart,
The Infinite has played its part.
For He is neither far nor near,
But That by which all things appear.
The One, the Many, all in One—
The Moon, the stars, the radiant Sun.
When self dissolves like morning dew,
The timeless Truth awakens you.
The Life in all, the Light above—
The Formless Infinite… called Love.
