WHY MAN?

WHY MAN Thinking people have askedQuestions which have perplexedThe mind of man on the nature of selfAnd of universe in which it existsShould a self-sufficient GodComplete in itselfCreate an imperfect earthAnd place within it living things? That would be so, if they were separate Whereas we look for answersFor a purposeful cause with limited sensesIn mysticism, philosophy and religionMan is, as far as we are awareMost developed in creative processHe alone, can write his meaningGod, therefore, has no specific purpose,No design for human beings They are a part of His own being
