This poem is inspired by Advaita Siddhanta, the non-dual philosophy from Hinduism, taught by Adi Shankaracharya. Advaita means "not two" or "non-dual" : it reminds us that everything in this world is one. There is no separation between the divine and us. The tree, the animal, the fish, the mountain ,the river, the sky, every person you meet they are all filled with the same essence and presence. The same God lives in all.

You can feel this truth deeply in the Pandharpur Wari, a yearly pilgrimage in Maharashtra, India, where lakhs of people walk together to honor Lord Vithoba. The most beautiful part is not just the devotion it’s how the Warkaris treat each other. They bow to everyone, no matter their gender, age, wealth, or background. They see the divine in every face.

They even call each other Mauli : a word that means mother, divine. It is a way of saying, “I see God in you.” In the Wari, no one is higher or lower. All are equal. All are God in human form.

That is what Advaita teaches that the divine is not somewhere far away. It is here. In you. In me. In all.

The poem begins here:

The divine’s not locked behind shrine’s door
Not in the temple, not in lore
No hands can steal what none can claim
Who dares to claim that holy name?

He lives within, not far or near
In every thought, in every prayer
He fills all space, the east, the west
The sky, the sea, all life expressed
He’s found wherever life may be
In all that walks or swims or breathes

He won't be held in sculpted stone
Nor bought where sacred flags are flown
He waits in silence, bare and true
Not draped in gold, but born in you
In you and me , our bones, our breath , in this heavy frame (body)
He fills it all without a name

He is the tide, the burning sun
The end of time, the just begun
He’s form and formless, source and spark
The flame that glows when all is dark
Though ages pass and moments flee
The Paramtatva remains eternally
