A Simple Evidence

I am a thinking being I think, therefore I am. (Descartes, Rene)
I am a thinking being I think, therefore I am Whatever I think I only know Why do I think? How do I think? I do not know Whatever you think You only know Why do you think? How do you think? You do not know From which source does this thinking spring? Nobody knows You are my thought I think of you It means you are I am your thought You think of me It means I am I think there is yonder a star It signifies that it exists And you think of the milky way You don't see with your naked eyes But your thought proves its existence
Thus while I think that there is God Whose entity I presume above board Whose perfection I never doubt Whose beauty and grace I ever adore Can you tell me? Whence does this thought enter my mind? One must say it has come from God Who does exist He does exist not ony here Not only there but everywhere Who generated into my mind this noble thought?
It stands to reason that it is none but God Himself His attributes are here and there His signs and clues are everywhere In the sweet fragrance of roses In the diverse hues of butterflies In tiny green lights of glow-worms In the scented magnolia trees In rustling of wind in the trees In deepening dales, in winding streams In the sweet songs of nigtingales In the softly lighted cathedral In high minarets and domes of mosques In twinkling stars and Milky Ways In high mountains and darkening clouds In rainbow, shimmering of moonlight In waterfalls, fountains and lakes In lightnings, thunder and earthquakes
I think of God Whose reflections I ever sought I love my God Whose subtle glimpses I always caught
