‘‘The Place of God.’’
I go to the temple and ask the priest,
‘‘Take me to God.’’
The priest smiles and nods his head
‘‘No here is no God.’’
I go to a hill and meet a monk, and hope if he tells me
the place of God.
But the monk says,
‘‘I am too
In search of God.’’
I ask myself,
‘‘Where is the God?’’
I heard someone is speaking in me,
‘‘Here is the God.’’
Anaiysis of the poem
The place
of God, it is philosophical poem. In this poem, speaker who wants to search the
God and the speaker tries to search the God. Therefore, the speaker going in
the temple and told to the priest that he take the speaker to God. But priest
smile and nod his head in negative way and told to the speaker that
‘‘No here is no God.’’
The poet that in the temple there is no God very satirically
describes it then where is the God? And why Are all the people going in the
temple with the hope of ‘Darshan’ of God?
Then speaker going at a hill and meet a
monk with the hope that he told to the speaker the place of God. Here poet used
the word ‘hope’ in satirical way that everybody believes that monk knows
everything about the God and he always touched with God. Here he also told to
speaker that he also search of God.
Then at the
end of the poem, speaker asked himself that where the God is? He heard someone
who is speaking within that
‘‘Here is the God.’’
Therefore,
we can say that God in ourselves but we find in other. We have perspective to
seem the God in ourselves. Some Indian Philosophical books told that something
in us that is very much powerful and it has light and when we seem that kind of
light we become ‘Brahm’ and we meet ‘Parabrahm’.
Therefore,
poet here describe that God is in us. We have no need to search God in temple
and in hut. This idea very well describe in the movie ‘‘Oh My God.’’
