WHO CONCEIVED THIS MAJESTIC BEAUTY?

Observe a little plant, that puts its seed in the earth,
inhales the air, which the living beings breathe,
exhales oxygen – a life stream for birds, humans and animals,
drinks raindrops and swallows sunbeams.

One day a tiny plant sprouts from the seed,
pops out from the dust, grows into a gigantic tree;
gives shelter to birds, animals and humans.
Whispers the song of trees.

One day the tree dies, but its offspring sprouts
again and again from the dust.

Watch a tiny bird, that puts an egg in the nest of straw.
The bird inhales oxygen and exhales a tiny life stream for the plants;
drinks water from rivers and oceans;
swallows sunbeams stored in corn.

One day a tiny chick pops out from the egg,
rests under the shelter of mother bird’s wings,
twitters, spreads its wings, hops from trees to sings the melodies of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

One day the bird dies, but its offspring is born
again and again in a nest of straw.

Look at a human being, who inhales oxygen;
and yet, cuts plants; exhales Carbon Di Oxide for trees;
drinks sunbeams, builds Pyramids. Drinks coffee, whisky and beer;
explores the Universe, explodes atom bombs,
scribbles poems and paints pictures of his world.

Puts a sperm in a human embryo, from which a tiny baby springs.
It plays in its mother’s arms, smiles and cries.

One day the human being dies, but his offspring is born again.

Behold the Universe through a telescope.
Our Sun holds the breath of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto with their orbiting moons.
The Sun inhales hydrogen and exhales helium.
Supplies fresh sunbeams for His creations.

Before the Sun extinguishes its light, it replicates its offspring ,
a tiny Sun with new planets and moons in space is born.
On the dust of new planets plants erupt, new birds sing,
animals howl and humans crawl.

This wonderful ageless world of darkness and light,
ignorance and wisdom it sprouts once more.
This amazing thought, which knits this gigantic Universe
again and again and on which the planets dance,

plants smile and birds twitter, who conceived this majestic beauty?

That glorious Light and the supreme thought assuredly is none
other than the God. He wrote this amazing software in a tiny atom and
Lo! I has engulfed this entire Universe.
To Him I bow again and again and in His praise I write these words.

HE PAINTS ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB

A brush of dreams and dust
He holds in his invisible hands,
Dips it in an overflowing dish of seven colors -
Paints the "DAWN"
On the World Wide Web.

As the colors drip from the World Canvas
The Gravitation holds
His superb painting of nine planets
And their moons orbiting around the Sun.

With the same brush He paints on the Earth
"The Spring," "Summer," "Autumn" and "Winter;"
To match His colors,
The earth changes her costumes.

A bird copies His print shop and paints -
A nest of straw and a nightingale pops out -
Begins to sing the song of all birds
On the World Wide Web.

A Banyan Tree modifies the print shop -
Inverses the logic of photons and particles
And in the World Wide Web it dreams -
An artist painting His picture on the Ganges Bank;
In its splendor it loses its breath.

Again and again on the World Wide Web
Colors dripping in the over flowing dish.
