In Stranger in a Strange Land, ‘to grok’
means “to understand so thoroughly that
the observer becomes a part of the observed"

As best as it can be said:
“Thou art god, I am god.
All that groks is god” 

Thus to Virginia Woolf's quote, I respond:
If I grok you, I grok myself 
Not the other way around.

Who am I?
I am a god
If you are a god

Who am I?
I am human
If you are human

Who am I?
I am humane
If I grok your pain  

Who am I?
I am a lover
If I grok your love

Who am I?
I am important
If I grok your importance             

Who am I?
I am a learner
because I grok.

In my life,
I have grokked
as much as this

I have grokked
the eternal youth
of children

I have grokked
the painful process
of growing up

I have grokked
in me, the confusing mix
Of Indian and American

I have grokked
the worthy pay-off
of dedication and hard work

I have grokked
the heavy importance
of reading and writing

I have grokked
the true friendships
of water brothers

I have not grokked life
But I have grokked this
And by way, grokked me.
