6. The universe2

```

The universe is God’s creation

And man’s realisation.

The universe is God’s Compassion

And man’s emancipation.

The universe is God’s Concentration

And man’s transformation.

The universe is God’s Meditation

And man’s revelation.

The universe is God’s Contemplation

And man’s manifestation.

The poet in me tells me

That the universe is beautiful.

The singer in me tells me

That the universe is enchanting.

The philosopher in me tells me

That the universe is meaningful.

The Yogi in me tells me

That the universe is soulful.

The God-lover in me tells me

That the universe is fruitful.

My poet sees the truth.

My singer feels the truth.

My philosopher achieves the truth.

My Yogi realises the truth.

My God-lover becomes the truth.
