I visited the earth as Christ
and they formed Christianity.
I came down as Mohammad
and they became Muslims.
I incarnated as Zoroaster
and they followed me as Zoroastrians.
They then found excuses to divide
and smallest pretext to fight.
Every Divine intervention
is followed by a crude division,
wherein my doctrine of 'follow my path'
is mistaken for 'follow my religion.'
Ram, Krishna, Christ and Mohammad are the same,
separated in time and space.
But man can't fathom their oneness,
for he's bound by his limiting consciousness.
They really want me to return,
but only under their own names.
They want their messiah back
but only to play their own games.
The Christians want their Christ,
the Hindus hanker for Kalki.
The Jews wait for their messiah
and Muslims for Imam Mihdi.
Born in their faith, if I call myself Christ,
of blasphemy they'll blame.
If born a heathen and then enlighten
they'll call me a trickster and ridicule my name.
It all began with vibration
and will merge in perennial reverberation.
But even while seeking permanence in "The Absolute",
man yearns to glorify his 'ephemeral' religion.
Still, I will be back to restore
'The Divine Plan' upon every region
for I'm bound only by faith,
yet, I'm beyond every religion.

I read it and read it again….
And everytime I read it…I find myself getting further engrossed into it….
Just trying to measure the depths of the thought…
Its not the flowery english…nor it’s the meaning of the verses …
But the theme or the thought which is captivating…..
Beautiful buddy. Keep going on and on and on yaar.
It's very good; sums up the current global situation of religious mistrust…
Cool buddy………..i believe you are molding to a poet and this is the stage of making the great poet Kamlesh. Keep it up
Very good. I liked it a lot especially the last para.
Cool Man,
This should be an eye opener for all the people
who divide others on the basis of caste and religion,
also teaches common man who the GOD is and what he wants.
Specially for extremists, they should learn what GOD wants.
Not the way they have interpreted and modified the things
to it to facilitate their life
Anyways, u r thoughts are too good, but don’t know how much they can effect the concern person
I believe they will not as people don’t want to come out from the place where they are……..
Lets hope for best…..
Its too Good for Present & Goladen facts of Future.
I am speechless after reading it. Have gone through it so many times that I almost know it by heart. Awesome piece, keep going!!!!!!!!!!!
Real education is understanding this humanity, beyond the secondary skins we live in, beyond the comfort zones we occupy. You have my respect, beyond appreciation as a poet.
