I Can Only Imagine

I can only imagine what it will be like
when I walk by YOUR side.
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
when YOUR FACE is before me.
(MercyMe, I Can Only Imagine)


It is said that Buddha was in deep meditation when the Blue Lord was walking up to him. Buddha only smiled and after exchanging a few pleasantries kindly asked him to move along. Buddha was the true scientist but some of us are asking, why? The 19th Century Indian Mystic Sri Ramakrishna, in contrast, only wanted to be with Durga Maa. They interacted daily during his samadhi states.


I have no idea what I would do if the CHRIST appeared before me. Like MercyMe before me, I can only imagine! Yet, today I have nothing to ask for, and I have no expectations either. GOD permeates everything and everyone. We don’t need to wish for anything other than is. Saint Augustine once said, ‘GOD is best known in not knowing HIM’. What a scientific Zen perspective!
