A new perspective on an old theme.

Worship me not, I’m

merely a sign-post

showing the way.

Illuminating

pitch-black sky

inspiring sages

on toilsome trek.

~~~

And speak of me

never more highly than,

nor distract from,

the Awesome One

I point towards -

bright Morning Star

heaven’s effulgent Son

~~~

Mine is a borrowed radiance,

bright reflection of

Another’s greater glory -

intrinsically his own.

Brilliantly inexpressible

universally observable

uniquely his alone

~~~

Give worship only to

the deserving One, who

divesting Himself

of deity’s attributes,

graced an alienated world

with life  indescribable,

emissions of pure light and love.

~~~

    The one who divested himself of heavenly attributes deserves our praise.
