This song of mine is the fountain of effulgence. Through rocky path, day and night, it
goes on flowing unobstructed.
This path of mine, This path of mine is rugged and full of thorns. From the origin,
through the stream of vitality, it goes on flowing, breaking the stone prison.

continue singing. Where there is no light, there is no life. Today I could attain the Lord

Ever-Companion, you came and went suddenly in the deep night. Having come you told
smilingly, “ I am busy in work now, thus I am going. Many people had demands; at least
something was to be granted. So busy due the transaction of taking and giving I have no
time. At many places in the world, people desire secretly. To them also, I have to go, so
where can I find time. Those who do not demand anything, they really want all. To their
call I respond, as I like them”.

knowledge, and scores of toxicity and unrest of life. You removed them with your own

and achievements, All such burdens you have removed, and filled me with your effulgence.

O Lord, come with the fragrant brightness of life. O Lord, come illuminating the mind as

Lord? The dust of the earth, the murmurings of the forests and bushes, the bygone sweet
days, carrying all with mental sweetness, gets dissolved within Him. Why? Whatever events,
honor and feeings of silent pain of wounded ego were there, all combined today rush
towards Him. Why?

O Lord, before Your eyes, everything goes on dancing, below Your feet, the earth goes on
moving. The passed days, the sung songs, the spoken events, all go on merging into You.
How many times I came, danced and sang, how much I loved, and how many delusive worldly
attachments I broke. How many games I played and moved towards You. During the movements,
even the earth is mixed into dust. Then, this dusty earth too cannot be without You, which
goes on soaring with Your rhythm towards the immortality.

Due to your infinite compassion and gifts, the world learned how to dance and sing,

They have no spirit, no sustenance. They are confused without illumination.
Let us lead them to bathe them in the flow of light, let us make them seated with satiated
minds. Let us fulfill all their needs, addressing them with heart full of affection. Pain
of one is pain for all in the world. This world belongs to all.

What the honeybee wants to say by buzzing in the arbor of the garden? What pain the
sympathizer wants to convey, through the vibrating strings of Viina’? Wherever feelings
are there, so much language is not available. Whatever desires are there, capability is
lacking.
All glories, all greatness, are inclined to surrender them-selves at your feet. They want
to offer you all the lotus flowers whether clean or dirty.

The effulgence suffuses, shining here and there, the Lord of light has come today. All
those engrossed in darkness are busy moving away as they started trembling with fear. With
lightning and roar of thunder the storm was blowing. The devastating Lord goes on
declaring, “ Listen, you do not fear, all fog would pass away”. Amidst rumbling of
clouds, like moon and stars, entire world wakes up.

Human beings get numerous disease, pain afflictions. They get different sorrows and
agonies. I search those who want to wipe their tears. I want to know and take them.
Humans bear much pangs of hunger and tolerate humiliations and discard. Those who want to
apply soothing ointment on such wounds, to them I offer wecome and honor.

I am a reddish tender leaf. I move on a straight path and never on a curved one.
In front of me lies a verdant green beauty.
Both my sides are illuminated with crimson glow. I move with head held high, never
bowing. In my arms, there is power of thunder. In my eyes there is clear vision.
I think in straight terms, never in crooked way.

Creating swings into my madhuk grove, the Lord of effulgence came. He came glitering the
life in hundreds of styles and forms. There is no time to sit and weep. This is not the
day to pause on the path. He made me forget today all pains and lamentations.
There is no wastage of energy. The swings of actions vibrate the blood. The sweetness of
mind, from all sides, rushed towards infinity.
The niip-flower of heart and lamp of life, He took away all my belongings.

O Lord, you are brilliant pole star and heavenly song. You are the heavenly life above the
fragrance of campak flower, glittering treasure and murmur of stream.
You are like rumbling of clouds, twang of bow, and thunderclap. I find you day and night,
in the rhythm and flow of life, in deep contemplation of all. Remaining within all
entities; You are above all. You are the very life of the universe.

no roundabout meaningless talks. In the sky, there is display of rainbow, on the earth,
there are numerous festivities of forms. Amidst that the wind blows overwhelmed with
feelings. I want to preserve them all. Whatever form, flow or fragrance exist in the
earth, whatever love and affection exist in the minds, to clean them all, come, let us
work together hand in hand.

Who are you standing alone beside the path with tears in the eyes. Who are you looking at
the blue sky with raised arms? What you
desired, you did not get and what you got, you never wanted. The hunger of body, life and
mind are not fulfilled. The love filled heart is dried up. Whatever you earnestly wanted
and loved, on their coming close, you felt hatred. You have lost everything, what you have
gained? You are left with only collection of throat full of songs.

Whatever I think is with the consideration of all. Whatever I do is with love for all.

My rhythm is for making everyone dance.
My struggle is for protecting all.
On the tune of sweet melody I have moved quite far and brought the essence.

You all offer them your blessings.
Amidst their burning heat, floral garlands,
in their pain and pleasure, be with them.
Human society is indivisible. No nest of family is negligible. All together, dancing and
singing, accept them with honorable recognition. With the voice of the earth, and message
of affection, you all colorfully beautify their lives.

come. Is He both cruel and kind?

Who came, without prior intimation, announcing calls for breaking the deep slumber,
harmonizing the disturbed wind, and singing the song of total attainment?
The sun is in the sky, the earth is below the feet, and the trumpet blow is reverberating
the road. Much time is lost in lamentation and sleep, now lethargy is to be discarded. Now
let us move forward towards the stream of effulgence with song, rhythm and dance.

ideas, came down and touching the dust of the earth, merged into that. O the distant star,
You came close, and enchanted the mind with distant melody. As lost sound, You came
floating into the ears. As forgotten rhythm, You made everyone dance to that. You wiped
the tears from the eyes. The gem of the ocean, You fulfilled my life.

I saw him in dream. He is filled the world as flood of life. In His sweet smile pearls
flow out.
Dancing and singing with the tinkling of the strings of viin’a’, with fragrance filled
breeze, smearing the intimate touch of vitality in the life, under new illumination, I am
frenzied. I attained Him,

hopes, the tunes vibrated with expressions, the love became boundless. Smeared with your
illusory dream, ma’ya’, the core of my heart filled with sweetness. With the rhythm
overflowing with melody and the flower frenzied with fragrance, the direction-lost
traveler found the guiding polestar. Absorbed with the sweetness of Your imagination, the
universe got the direction of movement. With all the directions illuminated with bright
light, whatever I see, appears lovely. Each atom and molecule became blazed. The diverse
feelings were satiated. Whole world filled with bliss.

mind exists. As one particle of Your heart, I exist each moment. Abundant nectar goes on
flowing and that dissolves in your stream.

With the tingling touching breeze of the autumn, He arrives. In the garden, the buds of
malati flower drop, the flowers of bakul, bela’ and jasmine, are lost away. The
chrysanthamum (candramallika) plant extending its arms calls Him smilingly. The buds of
rose go on blooming, the swinging creeper of champa flower is vigorously frenzied. The hum
of honeybee, with much hopes, continues soaring towards the sky. The cloudless sky, is
specled with smiling stars, and they are awake, waiting for you.

Some flowers want to extend their hands, to keep the autumn season held forever. Even the
slight trace of winter has not come till today, but the autumn is showing insistence of
departure. The leaves from the trees are not dropping presently. Sitting under such
environment, I continue singing song, so that I find You always close to me. The dullness
of winter has not yet come. The mist has not appeared before eyes so for. The colorful
frolic in lotus grove is still to come. Sitting in this environment, I ask You. Why do you
always say that “I am going, going, going”?

and dishonor. Whatever are left amongst them, I will dress them up colorfully with the
touch of Your vitality. On the unknown trees, all birds are perched in the small nest.
With Your name, I shall make them my own through the touch of Your power. I exist within
your mind, coloring myself with Your color. Attuning with Your tune, I shall pour out the
fountain of nectar, by touch of Your life.

During the frosty wind of post autumn, why the lotus does not bloom? Why the bees do not
hover over the nectar-less flowers? Though lotus may not bloom in their garden, the
internal lotus blooms in the mind. The bees may not gather on the external flowers but
collect on the mental lotus. With this pitiful tune of autumn, the garden is full of
painful songs. But in their minds, there is no pain at all. Though there is no outer sweet
fragrance now, it will express. With His blessings, we will create a new -world.

The autumn has arrived today morning. It came bathed in dewdrops. Why has it come?
It has come to adorn you. It has brought dahlia and chrysanthemum flowers. The golden
paddy sheaves smile. It brought sweetness of the pomelo (grapefruit). The orange smiles
with the touch of color. It has brought smell into the plum flower. The juicy date
smiles.

With the aroma of the new paddy in the autumn, I remember the new harvest day.
Remembering You the new grains are offered to You. The sky is full with stars and stars.
The breeze is light and full of sweet fragrance.
The river is full and floods out flowing in hundreds of directions. In the space, water
and land, every thing is glittering today. With crown of joy, each face has sweet smile.

Shivering the vitality through the storms, the creepers and plants losing their charms,
sing some unknown song. What is this heartlessness amidst Your love?

O Lord, when the fog covered the sandalwood path, darkening the morning light, You had
arrived with new expression, assuming a wonderful form. Covering the familiar paths with
darkness, hiding all the sweetness, the winter came carrying all the pains of many ages.
Beyond the darkness, the sunrays remain standstill. The lord of light wants to open his
eyes only for a moment, to dissolve the dark fog into the infinite. Then winter comes
radiating more pleasant light. O brother.

The thorny date trees on the path shiver with cold. The winter came with condensed snow
creating a new glacier. The birds and animals rush away far towards a distant land, as
demand of their lives and to find warmth in the hope of a new sun. The sweet water lily,
no longer blooms, heavy with sweetness of shyness. Today, tell me, at whose call, in this
shiver raising morning, the colorful earth becomes undressed. The winter came in an
adornment of a ascetic.

In winter, why the night jasmine does not bloom? Why the lotus does not speak? They are
coiled due to cold. And those others, remaining engrossed in Your thought, seek You in
their mind.
The earth today feels joy in the mind, perhaps it has recognized You, but never speaks
out. The mental flowers bloom in hundred of styles, but they remain suppressed.

The winter came and brought with it, the pictures of colorful flowers, smell-less,
nectar-less flowers and dull sunlight. When the sun was close, I thought, I could not
endure the unbearable heat. O awesome Lord, be pleased, grant us boon of rain showers.
Today I think, it would have been better if the sun were near. O brothers, all listen, the
distant sun would come near. Do not worry at all. In the cold of earth, with the song of
hope, we paint a picture of the new.

I had not expected that you would come,
in this cold rainy night. You had come very close but I did not ask You to come still
closer.
Outside biting wind was blowing and all doors were bolted. I did not open the door and did
not ask You “Come inside into the house”. With Your looks turned towards my face, what
had You expected, I do not know. I did not accept at that time that Your feelings were
hurt. Not even once I asked You to speak out. When You left and went away far, alone on
the lonely path, tolerating the biting cold wind outside, at least once I should have
asked you to stay in my home.

With the color and aroma of oranges, with new rhythm You arrived today. Raising storm in
the snow-mass, You brought mountain-cold. You bring numerous intense tremors without any
pause. Today, bringing quivers in the songs of snow, You continue your divine sport
(liila’). Flowers have appeared on the decorative drumstick (motunga) tree. The plum
trees are laden with fruits. Today, have You thought about those lying in deep
hibernation? In this winter night, in silence and solitude, You remain absorbed in
extramundane, transcendental ideation.
