Who are you O lord? Really who are you? I have heard this mysterious question many a time, long back!Really mysterious. Now I have started asking myself, who are you ? You can get into even into my thoughts. You are not human indeed. But you can realise the needs of humans more than I can. You are not as weak as human, but you can better understand my human weakness, even before I can make out. You are not my mamma or papa, but you love me even more than them. You make plans for me rather fast than them.You understand my thoughts even before I think. You know the Past, present and even the very future of mine. All these I know! But why you do so?
Very often I can feel you inside me. I can feel you talk to me in my heart! Sometimes I can feel your presence in others. At times you speak to me through them. Where are you actually my Lord? where are you really ?As St. Augustine says,
Do you really exist? If yes, where do you exist? Do you exist in me?
Da ‘Le confessioni’ - Dio nell’anima e l’anima in Dio :
Non esisterai dunque, mio Dio, non esisterai affatto, se Tu non fossi in me. O piuttosto non esisterai, se, io non fossi in Te.<< da cui, per cui, in cui, tutto esiste >>. Rom 11: 36 ... Ma alllora dove Ti invocho, se io sono in Te? Da dove potresti venire in me? Potrei forse trovare un posto fuori di cielo e della terra, perche` di la` possa venire in me, il mio Dio che disse, << Io riempio il cielo e la terra >>.
(From ‘The confessions’.God in Soul and soul in God: You don’t exist so, my God, you don’t exist really, if you are not in me. O rather you don’t exist, if I’m not in you. “For Him, through Him and to Him are all things”. Rom 11: 36.... if so, from where should I cry call you, if I’m in You ? From where you can come to me? May be you have to find another place which is above the sky and the earth , as from there you can come to me, as you have said , “ I fill the heaven and the earth”. Ger 23: 24 )
The fact which is indeed interesting to me. And I too have the same confusions as that of St. Augustine. If you are wholly filled in the sky and the earth, then are you wholly filled in me?
Ma Tu che riempi il tutto, lo riempi di tutto il tuo essere? O invece, non potendo l’universo contenerti per intero, contiene solo una parte di Te, e tutte le cose insieme contengono una stessa parte? ......... O sei tutto dovunque e niente puo` contenerti tutto ?
Is the universe and everything in it are so weak to contain you? To contain you as the whole. You are mighty indeed for our thoughts. You are mighty indeed for us Lord. Help us in our weaknesses.
O mio Dio, che sei Tu dunque? Infatti << chi e Signore tranne il Signore. Chi e Dio tranne Dio? >> Salmo 18: 32 (For who is Lord besides the Lord,and who is God besides our God ? Ps: 18:32)
