Baptism-Initiation
Humans always wondered about
the world around
The sky above, the oceans,
beings underground!
But most of their simple queries
remained unanswered
Despite vast knowledge,
academic and corporate, gathered!
Discussions among colleagues, friends,
networking with peers
Eventually led them to have faith
in a God of fear!
I had seen people being
initiated!
As friends, colleagues,
baptised in faiths inherited
Watched helplessly as many turn
inwardly limited
Kept myself away un-baptised,
un-initiated!
Realization comes with vision
unlimited
Recognizing Initiation happens
throughout life so many ways
Rebuilding faith in learning as
an evolutionary process
Observing parents, siblings,
family, friends, in neighbourly village
Watching plants, animals, birds,
insects and fishes
Feeling seasons with transitory
sun, moon, stars and planets!
Message of dawn bombarding
earth each day
Irrespective of Baptism by
Gurus or Priests in temples and churches
To help us ascend over limitations
embracing universal acceptance!
