The Vedas

The beginnings of

Philosophical queries

In Vedic wisdom;

Hymns to nature-gods

And recipes for rituals,

Cosmological,

Moral prescriptions,

And mythical reflections

Upon transcendence,

Revealed to only

Clear-minded sages; they saw

The truth from afar;

Different points of view

To answer a perennial

Question: What did the

Universe come from?

A perpetual tussle

They recorded well

Between existence

And non-existence, with hints

Tersely Agnostic …

The passive gods,

Themselves part of the cosmos,

Are for ever quiet!

The right answer then,

A theology it’s not;

An ontology

Of ubiquitous

Consciousness it has become.

No object can be

‘Worshiped’ absent of

The subjective spring of an

Action, thought or speech…

Veda; the answer

Of all preoccupations,

Panacea for all!
