Good night,  God, part of everything,
oh! forgive me for forgetting-
your relevance as omniscient
you are absolute and limitless,
there can't be more than one such.
**With my low functioning brain
and slow data processing, I can't
even imagine your perfection! Stupefying!
It becomes more clear, with thinking,
you could only operate in higher planes,
           you have no business to know
          the concept of day and night
or for that matter, any single thing,
you are beyond limits or lack of it,
I am limited and bound by strings
of time,my thoughts are 'time twisted'
           Forgive me God, omnipresent
In my attempts for communion with the absolute, I am baffled..
How can I even, hope to internalize, the one and only
omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient
Yet, I am part of that perfection,
That (absolute ) is perfect,
This (limited being) also is (part of )perfection,
When perfect is taken from absolute..absolute remains.
(Upanishad hymn)
