Refusing to Believe

I said I am God. I furnished you evidences, the blue flame emanating from my forehead, the white flame, the sun and moon in my eyes. I revealed so many divine forms in fire. I explained the divine marks on my palms and the soles of my feet. So many astrologers and Nadi specialists were amazed by the readings of my horoscope and Nadi. Yet people refused to believe.

They were distracted by my physical appearance, they questioned my casual appearance, my dance, why people offered me poojas, and I answered every question patiently. I gave no room for any confusion to persist. So many years have passed by and yet they continue to question. What do I, the Divinity gain by convincing them? I know I am God. The praise or scorn of society does not affect me.

I can sing Thyagaraja Kritis, but the society is more interested only in local jazz.
