You hide in the cascading crystal clear waters,

But O Almighty Lord!

I see you in their rapid flow and also in their abysmal depths....



You hide in the fresh, clean and invisible air and the balmy breezes,

But O Benevolent Lord!

I feel your gentle touch and also hear your soft whispers....



You hide in the majestic cosmos,

But O Omnipresent Lord!

I notice you in your limitless expanse or infinity....



You hide in the roaring, blazing and consuming fires,

But O Powerful Lord!

I see you residing in their resplendent and vibrant dancing flames...



You hide in our beautiful earth, our land, our homeland,

But O Omnipotent Lord!

I feel you in the ashes and dust of our venerated ancestors and the daring warriors and the brave soldiers resting therein...



You hide in the profoundly beautiful, colourful and ambrosial flowers,

But O Awesome Lord!

I find you in their myriad shapes and in their floral, oriental and woody fragrances....



You hide in the thick, dark, lofty, evergreen forests and foliage,

But O Quintessential Lord!

I sense your presence by inhaling your earthy scents and hearing your mysterious silence....



You hide in the snow, the mist and the dew,

But O Worthy Lord!

I find you visible in their ethereal beauty and chastity....



You hide in the fruits and grains and nuts,

But O Bountiful Lord!

I find you in my hunger and thirst....



You hide in all forms, animate or inanimate,

But O Omniscience Lord!

I discern you in the spirit and soul of all objects and creations....



You dwell in the enchanting celestial objects, the sun, the moon and the stars,

But O Everlasting Lord!

I detect you even in their endless motion, incandescence and forever changing appearance each day...



You hide in the temples and all the holy places

But O Comforter Lord!

I meet you there in the sanctum sanctorum of my pious mind...



You hide in the sacred scriptures, epics, chants and hymns,

But O Saviour Lord!

I figure you in piety, virtues, dharmas and the karmas....



You hide in my parents, children, friends, teachers, countrymen,

But O Compassionate Lord!

I revere you in their love, compassion, devotion and care....



You hide and huddle in my mortal body

But O Marvelous Lord!

I hear you in the melody of my heartbeats, rhythm of my pulsating blood, in the music of my successfully orchestrated lifeā€¦.



You hide inside my immortal soul,

But O Extremely Gracious Lord!

I seek you in my existence, prayers and faith....



You hide and I shall seek you anywhere and everywhere in total serenity....

But O Good Lord!

I shall forever remember and worship you and we both shall play this game of hide-and-seek till eternity....
