Pradip Chattopadhyay - Worshipping Goodness

I bow down before you God
Not because I'm servile
Or seek your favour,
It's not an unquestioning surrender.
I bow down before you God
Not because I sense
That before your omnipotence
I must succumb as a dumb.
I bow down before you God
Not to seek your blessing
Nor to please or appease you,
It's no fear of an unseen power.
I bow down before you God
Not seeking heaven or other abode
But knowing all the world's goodness
I can see in my heart as your face.
