I saw God but now what

Indeed, I declare, I have seen God. However, He emerged and vanished. I was climbing up the hillock to visit the deity. Noticed an aged-man with scraggy structure Sitting cross-legged on the verge Stretched his dangling frail hand Seeking alms with slurred voice I could read the pain behind his sunken eyes. Instantly offered him what I was holding. Indeed, I affirm, I saw God in him. He emerged and vanished. I climbed down as the purpose was fulfilled. Thereafter, I went on many a time Offering many to the gathering there. Intended to envision Him again but in vain How could it happen earlier? I deduced that my first impulse was out of spontaneity But not unpremeditated I was amazed at this knowledge that beyond the mind. However, until what is ingested is processed, I fear I may burn.
