O Lord,
lead me on.
Lead me unto the fountain of effulgence.

O Lord,
lead me on.
I can no longer bear the pain of darkness in my heart.

O Lord,
lead me on.
With Your songs, break my deep slumber.

O Lord,
lead me on.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is the real friend. O Paramapurus'a, direct me unto the fountain of divine effulgence. I was slumbering in Cimmerian darkness I was an ordinary atom. But now I can no longer tolerate the staticity of darkness. O Paramapurus'a, sing before me the song which will arouse me from my deep slumber. Sing before me that song which will show me what is what and which is which.

SONG OF LIBERATION

This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.

On this rocky path, day and night I keep on flowing,
heedless of all obstacles.

This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.

This path of mine is rugged and full of thorns.
The flowing stream emanating from the source of life
will shatter the granite prison walls.

This song of mine is a fountain of effulgence.

...........................................................................

This song of mine
is like a flow of light.

In the rugged rocky terrain,
day and night, I flow along,
I flow along unhindered.

This path of mine is uneven,
full of thorns.

With a forceful flow of life,
I flow along, breaking asunder,
I move along breaking the prison walls.

Purport:
For those who move along the path of greatness and magnanimity, so much meanness and littleness stands as insurmountable obstacles. They know this and their song is like a fountain of divine effulgence it is not a materialistic song. Their song does not move along a smooth road. In their path there are so many thorns, so many ups and downs just like a fountain which flows along various rapids and finally merges into the sea. They recognize no barrier, saying "We move on and on, with all our innate vitality, ever breaking all the iron prison walls around us."

SONG OF NEOHUMANISM

Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,

beyond the threshold of darkness.

The sky above is studded with stars,
The air is intoxicated with fragrance.
With all entities I exist,
anointing my mind with the pollen of flowers.

Calling all, I will sing the glories of this crimson dawn
in the kingdom of divine light,

beyond the threshold of darkness.

This earth on which I walk
is purer than the purest gold.
In its green shade,
all creatures are cherished.
It dances, blessed with new life.

Purport:
Darkness has come to an end, crossing the threshold at the edge of light. Now is the proper time to call all and announce that the crimson dawn has come. The beautiful sky is studded with so many stars, the air is sweetlyscented. The atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere everything is closely related to me. All the flora and fauna I must preserve; I must save them from premature extinction because I love everything of this earth. I am a NeoHumanist. I call one and all to come and create a new rhythm.

SONG OF FULFILLMENT

The ancient unknown traveler has come.
With the blissful resonance of consciousness,
my life overflows with song.

In the sweet form of the loss of all,
in the destitution of oblivion,
with the rhythm and song of attainment,
with the invocation of the everbeautiful one,
my life overflows with song.

The unknown traveler has come,

in the invocation of the eternallybeautiful,
my life became filled with songs.

SONG OF AWAKENING

My Lord is covered in golden light.

The bird of dawn begins to sing,
vibrant with new life.

Why all this?
In answer to whose call?

Day and night I seek Him.
The new light sends forth a blaze of effulgence
and beats its new wings of joy.

My Lord is covered with golden light.

note : This is the experience of a sa'dhaka (spiritual aspirant) immediately after receiving initiation.

SONG OF BUDDHA

In the midst of silence
who are You who came,
breaking my deep, dark slumber?

Breaking my slumber,
in the midst of silence?

When the raging storm
had extinguished my lamp,
You lit the flame of knowledge in my eyes,
and broke my slumber.

In the small garden playhouse,
those who come, go far, far away.
Their path is a beacon of light today.

Lighting Your lamp to awaken me
You have broken my slumber.

Purport:
O Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness), You have come to break the bondage of slumber. You lighted the lamp of knowledge which was extinguished by thunderstorms. You are the lighthouse that saves us from any destruction, from the ravages of cyclones. People come and go in this world without direction; You have shown them how to reach their destination.

Purport:
I have the intense desire to come to You and move along with You, O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), but there are innumerable obstacles on the way.
I want to move along with You, but in this material world, my mind is always being disturbed by various worldly bondages and obstacles.
O my Lord, crush all those bondages, those walls of obstacles, and take me along with You.
So many worldly waves come and go according to Your desire, so please help me I am ready to do anything and everything for You. Take away all those obstacles so that I may easily reach Your lotus feet.

That gloomy despair is dispelled today,
by the touch of infinite light.

The thirst of the desert
has vanished in that sweet and charming shade.

In my song, there is no demand.
In my smile, there is no attainment.

All my movements, all my expressions
move in the flow of exquisite beauty
towards that beacon of infinite light.

Purport:
The pathos of darkness has been expelled.
It has come in contact with the divine light, the divine effulgence. All my pains of this material world have been banished by Your sweet benign touch; thus all darkness has been removed. The thirst of the desert, the draught of the desert is no more with me, and my mind is now throbbing with divine energy and dancing in divine ecstasy.

By Your magic mirror,
whatever we think,
whatever we do,
O Lord,
You know it all.

The pulsation of life,
the evolution of the ages,
You listen,
You hear all secrets.

By hiding from You,
what are we to do?
By making You unmindful,
what are we to think?

You are in all manifestations,
and in all actions.
You are in the sweetness of silence.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) has a magical mirror (maya mukura), and with the help of that magical mirror He can see whatever one is, whatever one does. He can feel the heart beating of each and every individual, and knows the entire evolution of this universe.
O Paramapurus'a, that is why one cannot do anything secretly, that is why one cannot think anything secretly.
You are with each and every action of this physical world.
You are with the movement of each and every cell of the human mind; and You are with each and everyone with Your silent beauty.

When merciless tempests raged,
and all was lost to regions unknown,
I held on to Him
in whom all losses end.

Where there is no light, there is no life.
Today, I attained the apostle of light.

Today, I remember those longforgotten days
of the auspicious dawn of my life,
when I came to know You in my crying.
O, Lord of petty entities!

Countless days have come and gone.
Countless nights have become hidden in light.
You exist beyond the realm of light and shade.
O Lord of effulgence!
O my Lord of beauteous forms!

Beyond the feelings of known and unknown,
the sweetness of spiritual realisation
forever flows around Your feet.

O Lord of sweetness!
Thou art beyond illusion!
O my Lord of songs!

Purport:
O Lord, I remember the past days when I came into this world as a newborn child my first communication with the world was through crying. Not tears, crying. A newborn child does like this (demonstrates). So the first talk to the world is crying; there may or may not be tears. In the first phase You come to me in the form of so many small things, childhood needs; then You come in the form of so many big expressions water, air, sky. And then in the final phase, You come in the form of songs.

are all dancing in Your melodious rhythm.
For, it is Your love that all are seeking.

Don't forget me, don't forget me!

O Paramapurus'a, do not desert me. I am spending sleepless nights for You. The universe exists because You are there. Because of Your presence the universe is created. So the existence of the universe is dependent on Your existence. All natural beauties are dancing, all are getting inspiration from You. All long for Your love and affection.

Deep in dream,
the air heavy with moisture,
the Unknown Traveler came.

On the strings of His lyre,

He sang the song of consciousness.

How affectionate was His look!
How compassionate His smile!
Shattering all bondages,
The unknown has become known today.

Purport:
When the air was heavy with moisture and while I was in a deep dream, a very sweet dream, I saw that an unknown traveler had come. His eyes were full of affection and His sweet smile said who He was.

Purport:
The clouds have vanished and now there are no worries or anxieties. Now we are proceeding towards the supreme destination, the supreme desideratum of life. There is no obstacle now in the blue sky. Some people from another world, the divine world, are calling and saying, "You brothers and sisters of Earth, come forward. We are ready to join hands with you." Let there be a happy union between the physical or mundane world and the divine world. Let there be a happy blending, a divine union.

SONG OF EGALITARIANISM

Someone has come and whispered into my ears,
"The new dawn will come".

Beyond the curtain of darkest mist
a new golden light will laugh.

No more agony and lamentation!
No more tears flowing from the eyes!

From beyond the scope of all pain
the freshness of life will float anew.

The realm of affection and compassion,
of hope and love
and sweetest dreams
will enter the inner core of all minds
and remove
even the blackest shadows of darkness.

Purport:
All black shadows of pains and troubles will be dispelled by human love and human touch. Someone whispered in my ear that a new dawn will come. The golden light will laugh, crushing the Cimmerian darkness. There will be no more pain and sorrow, and no more tears. Affection, compassion, love and hope will enter the inner core of all minds. All black shadows of pains and troubles will be dispelled by human love and human touch.

You know how to play the lyre.
You know how to weave endless melodies.
You know how to make the world dance

You know how to love the world

O Lord, You are a star of the distant sky!

I do not know You, I do not know,
do not know, do not know!

Come slowly and sit by my side.
Do not hide Yourself from me.
Do not hide, do not hide, do not hide!

So many sorrows of so many days,
so many ideas
are stored in my mind!

I will pour out my heart to You.
Do not pretend to be deaf.
Do not pretend, do not pretend, do not pretend!

You are my nearest one, You are my dearest!

You are the one who all adore most!
Do not maintain this bondage of distance.
Do not maintain it, do not maintain it!

Whatever learned people may say,
whatever the scriptures may say
I will remain Yours and You will remain mine!
No other idea will I accept.
I won't, I won't, I won't!

Purport:
O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), at present You are a star of the distant sky. I see You, but I don't know You. Come gradually closer to me and sit by my side. Don't try to hide from me I have many things to say to You. So many pains and so many ideas have accumulated in my mind. Let me express them fully don't pretend to be deaf. Come near to me, I will tell You everything and my heart will become light. You are the dearest, the most adored by all. Everyone wants to be near Youplease don't remain far away. Scriptures bear no significance for me. I am not to be guided by the scriptures I am to be guided and controlled by devotional love. Whatever the scholars or scriptures may say, I know only that You are mine and I am Yours. Nothing else can I accept.

in the dark and cloudy night.

You are the polestar
to one lost in wilderness,
wandering on a lonely path.

You are the sweet balm

In all my actions I seek You.
In my unspoken agony,
I long for You,

You are in day

You make us forget all obstacles on our path.
You are together with us.

O Lord, You are the glittering moon

You are, O Lord, like the glittering moon in the cloudy night. You are like the polestar to one lost in the wilderness. You are the sweet healing balm for all the pains and agonies of life.

In my sorrow You are with me, in my joy also You are with me.

O unfailing friend, can You tell me
what You do throughout the day?

Whatever comes and whatever goes
it all takes place under Your feet.

In Your mind everything is written.
With such a mind,
what do You do?

O divine friend, can You tell me
what You do throughout the day?

With all the happiness and all the sweetness
with all the sorrows and all the pains,
how do You manage Your divine sport?

And tell me, do You have any secrets?

Purport :
We human beings remain preoccupied with worldly activities buying, selling, bargaining. Sitting in these, we keep ourselves engaged. O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), what do You do all day? Please tell me in what kind of activity You keep Yourself busy. Yours is the macrocosm. All the thoughts, all the ideas of the universe are all within Your mind. In that Cosmic Macrocosm, I fail to understand what You do and how You can manage with so many thoughts and so many feelings with all the joys and sweetness, with all the sorrows and miseries of all the creatures. If I were in Your situation I would become mad! What do You do with all Your ideas and expressions? And not only that, there have been certain polarizations regarding Your thoughts and expressions, ideas and activities. Some people are Your ardent supporters, some are against You; some dearly love You, and some are vehemently opposed to You. With all Your supporters and opponents, how do You continue playing Your liila (divine game)? It is something wonderfully strange! As much as I have understood, I still have become confused! Now the question arises I want to know from You very secretly besides all these, have You got any other personal secret with You? Please tell me. I want to say something to You. Be with me and hear me. When due to sorrow I am unable to say anything, hear me also then. While on the journey of my life, when I feel tired, at that time also be with me, inspire me and remove my afflictions.

But now, You have pierced the veil of darkness.

Soaring on wings evernew,
You are the apostle of the new light.

All despair has vanished

The universe has been flooded

With Your arrival, all frustrations have disappeared, and today hope prevails everywhere. The entire universe has been flooded with a wave of love, and all living beings have started to love each other.

O Lord suddenly You came,
and suddenly You left.

In the midst of the deep, dark night
You came and smilingly said:

"I am now too busy, I must go, go, go.
Many are there,
who want many things
and at least something
I must give them;

In giving and taking
I remain thus engaged.

So I have no time, no time, no time!

In many corners of the world,
many are there who ask for me secretly.
To them also I must go.
Where will I find the time, where, O where?

And there are those who ask for all.
And there are those who ask for nothing.

And they are the ones
who, by wanting Me, want all.
To their hearts' call
I must respond.
They are the ones who love the most."

Purport:
You appeared before me suddenly in the night and said smilingly, "I am very busy with so many activities and thus I cannot stay with you. I must go, I must go, I must go !" What is this? You said, "Everybody in this world wants something from Me, but it is not possible to grant everything they ask for. And you know, some of these demands are logical and justifiable, some are not. Even so, I am to satisfy them, at least giving something if not fully quenching their thirst, at least partially, I must quench their thirst. And with these matters, I remain engaged. "There are many people who say, 'O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), You are mine, so You should meet me secretly, confidentially in my heart. I want personal contact with You' I am to go to them also, and this requires some time too. So there is shortage of time, there is paucity of time. "There are also some very intelligent people who say, 'O Paramapurus'a, I don't what anything from You, I want You! Those who say this actually want everything because they want Me! They are the most clever and intelligent sa'dhakas (spiritual aspirants), so I am to respond to their call also. I am to fulfill their demands and their desires. In fact, it is these people whom I like the most, "So you sa'dhakas, I have a great deal of work to do. I have come for only a short while, and so it is difficult for me to remain long with you. I must go; I must go, I must go."

I gave what they desired.

Now, the light of humanism has spread.
Spiritual humanism has entered everyone's heart.

And those with love in their heart
what have they done?
They have tightly bound their heart unto mine.

Purport:
O people of the world, behold! Those who were seeking Me, I gave them what they wanted. As a result, a wave of humanism is flowing through the world, and that humanism is blended with spirituality. Now is this world, who are the most fortunate beings? Those who are endowed with a developed mind. And what have they done? Out of their deep love for Me, they have brought Me so close to them so that in all their hearts, in all their minds, I have closely associated Myself. From these individual minds I cannot remain apart. I am completely associated with them, I am inseparably linked to them.

Let me flow in the current of celestial light

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is the greatest friend. The degree of bondage is greatest in crude matter where consciousness is dormant. So, O Lord, please sing Your blissful songs and rouse me from this slumber of staticity. Let me proceed towards Your effulgence. Let the supramental waves elevate this entire material world to the Supreme Stratum, and let me rise above this material world and come in close contact with You. I want this blessing from You, my Supreme Guide, my Paramapurus'a.

Come dancing in rhythm!

I was unconscious in the world of darkness
when You came like a blazing sun.
Flooding my life with Your colourful radiance,
You intoxicated my mind.

O Lord, come dancing in rhythm!
Come dancing in rhythm!

Piercing through the fog of confusion,
come into the core of my heart.

Come dancing in rhythm!
Come dancing in rhythm!

O Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), come to me with the rhythm of Your dance and with Your sweetness. Do not come in any crude form, in the form of violence, in the form of darkness, in the form of terror. I want to have You through the sweet melody of songs and the sweet rhythms of dance. I want to be one with You through these rhythms. I was in deep slumber and You awakened me, You led me on with Your sweetness and rhythm, You coloured my life with Your colour. Now, please come close to my heart. Please touch me. beloved god, thus break my sleep yourself.
In this dark world I was unconscious, In my life a new sun has come.
What you have done spreading the light, colouring my mind and life.
You have enchanted my mind, having come, crossing all mist into the depth of my mind.

and expect so much from it.

You call me from distant stars,
from the rifts in the clouds.

I am bound by innumerable impediments
by the smell of the earth,

by the sparkling river currents,
or the shining sky above me.

Yet, You still call me from distant stars,
from the rifts in the clouds.

O my Supreme Friend,
I know You are very close to me.
Why then do You call me from afar?
How will I be able to see You
from such a distance ?

My life was polluted with poisonous dissonance.

There are so many charms, so many objects of fascination on this earth, but the accumulated force of all these sweet worldly attractions is far less than the attraction for Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness). Before this Supreme Attraction all other worldly attractions fade. The mind wants a closer affinity to Him, and no charms, no attractions, no fascinations of this mundane world can create any obstacles on the path.
Now there remains the eternal question why is the cosmic attraction so powerful and irresistible? Why is the call of the Great so great?

In Your name,
in Your song
I have lost myself.

The traveler who was lost in the darkness
has now discovered the stream of light.

The intoxicating air tries to bind me
with its bondages of attachment
I will say, smiling sweetly,
"I have smashed the stony prison walls."

All Your creatures are worthy of adoration.
Lord, accept my pranam (salutation).
All minds are unique.
Lord, receive my namaska'r
(salutation to the Divinity within).

I have come in the flow of universal momentum,
like the nectar in a flower blossom.
Today, the call of Your enchanting name
has shattered all my bondages.

Purport:
You know there is eternal movement, eternal velocity with each and every entity, whether animate or inanimate. Nobody comes into this world knowingly all human beings come unknowingly in the process of eternal movement, just as nectar comes within a flower. Now, after coming here, when I came in contact with Your name and with Your song, I was so overwhelmed that I have lost myself, I have lost my identity.

Before Your eyes
everything moves and dances.
Under Your feet
the whole universe flows.

The days that are past,
The songs that are sung
The words that are spoken
All have merged in You.

Many a times I came and danced and sang.
Many a people I loved.
Many a times I broke the bonds of ma'ya' (the illusory world).
Many a games I have played.

For a long time, I have been moving towards You.

In this flow of movement
all things return to dust.
But this dusty earth is never without You.
It flows in Your rhythm, towards immortality.

Purport:
Whatever one thinks, whatever one sees, whatever one says, all these expressions are rhythmic expressions, and these rhythmic expressions come from You, remain with You, and go back to You. Whatever was said, millions of years ago, was sung or was expressed, all is still there in the storage of the Cosmic Mind. No vibration is lost forever. Do not think that anything is lost nothing is lost, nothing dies forever. And that is why all the rhythms of this universe, all the celestial rhythms, and all the mundane rhythms flow towards You. You are the ultimate goal, You are the Supreme Desideratum. Everything moves towards You, everything moves towards the Supreme Source of immortality.

The sky and the air are the essence of nectar.
The call of the dark clouds
produces sweetness in my heart.

The paincajanya conch is blowing.
What a sweet melody of dance and song!
What a flood of effulgence in my heart!

I have lost all sense of direction,
listening to the call of the Supreme.

Who is calling me off and on
to an unknown land,
with such sweet song?

After the darkness, such effulgence!

Suddenly my whole being is soothed and calm
and my heart is filled with that inner sound.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), who is also known as Lord, Krs'n'a, has come so close to me, and I am listening to the sweet music of His flute. This flute sound of Paramapurus'a, this internal sound is the om'ka'ra sound. Because of my coming in close proximity to His divine presence I hear that divine sound, and I find that the sky, the air, and everything of this universe has been filled with divine nectar and charged with divine fervour. I hear that cosmic sound of that cosmic flow. Now there is nothing left to be attained everything has been attained.

You are the unfailing guide,
the nearest and dearest of all.
You are the goal of all lives.

You are the festival of light
in the darkest night.
You are the fountain
in the desert.
You are the goal of all lives.

When everything has been revealed,
what need for games of hideandseek?

O Lord, come into my heart
in Your true form,
in a flow of sweet compassion.

On Your path, gleaming with radiance,
how can You hide anything?

You are the goal of all lives.

Purport:
Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) is always with everyone, and not only is He with everyone, He helps everyone in all circumstances, whether good or bad, sinner or virtuous. He is just like a fountain of fresh water in the desert; He is just like a festival of light in a dark night. Now, when this fact has been known to all, that You are the helper of all and no one can be without You, then You no longer remain unknown regarding You everything has become known to all. So now there is no necessity of this hideandseek play with us! Come in the forefront and proclaim Your true identity saying, "I am Paramapurus'a," and don't play hideandseek with us any longer. And You know, one can hide only in darkness, or in a closed place. But the path You have shown to us is glittering with light, and there is no dark place on it so where will You hide Yourself on that glittering path? It won't be possible now for You to play hideandseek with us, so please give up this particular habit of Yours it is a defective idea. The days of playing hideandseek are over.

In a forgotten dawn,
when a gentle breeze was blowing,
You appeared on the mirror of my mind.

You blossomed like a flower,
shining in golden light,
flowing with sweet fragrance,
destroying all impurities.

Renewing my existence,
painting pictures of new life,
sending out Your thunderous call
You broke all the chains.
You broke all the chains.

Purport:
You came into my life when You came I don't remember but this much I know, that once You came in my life. You came with a golden light, spreading a sweet fragrance. And because of Your radiant appearance all dark clouds disappeared, all the pains and agonies of my life were removed. You appeared in my life like a pure flower, and with Your appearance there was a flood tide of new vigour in my being. All my bondages were broken to pieces.

The invisible Lord has appeared in my mind,
flooding my whole being with effulgence.

With what an enchanting appearance He has come!
With what an exhilarating smile He is laughing!

His effulgence has painted rainbow colours
on the clouds of my pain.

All the songs, all the rhythms,
all the melodies of the universe
are simply to welcome Him.

Purport:
He has come, filling everything with nectar, making everything glitter with radiant light. He has come, dressed in new garments, and now I see this world in a new light.

And now I feel as if honey is percolating from all the corners of the universe.

You have come,
passing through countless towns and cities,
filling innumerable voices with melody and song.

You have come, piercing through countless galaxies,
dancing dances of innumerable rhythms.
By Your unbounded grace,
the world has been given life.
With Your divine ideation,
the creatures have evolved their minds.

By Your unfathomable kindness,
in Your cosmic rhythm,
the world has learned to sing and dance.

There is no song without You,
no dance without You
Countless mantras (incantations) have evolved,
just to remember You.

Purport:
O Lord, You came here passing through so many habitats and habitations, and filling up countless throats with melodies. You have come here crossing through so many nebulae, galaxies and milky ways, and You appeared before us, dancing in so many rhythms. The world has received life from You and mind from You and the world has learned how to sing and dance from You. Without You there cannot be any song, without You there cannot be any dance. So many incantations and mantras, are just to remember You.

In the magnolia garden,
with the southern breeze,
You came today
with Your rhythmic songs.

All pangs of loss,
all disappointments,
All weaknesses
have been forgotten.

On the path of movement,
filled with memories,
in the moving swing
of hopes and disappointments,
You played Your flute of love
and filled everything with Your sweetness.

In the flowing stream of divine light
You have manifested Yourself in endless ways.

What else can I call it except Your grace?

From beyond the veil of darkness,
You Yourself came into my life.
Heedless of my merits and faults,
You loved me.
You showered Your love on me.

Into my small mind,
You infused desires.
In small ideas,
You have kept me attached.

You who are so vast,
You have taught me how to make You my own.
You have showered Your love on me.

By thinking of You,
By remembering You always,
You have taught me how to know myself,
You have showered Your love on me.

Purport:
One can have a rough idea, a microscopic idea of God only when Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness) desires it. Without His desire, nothing can be done. Even a blade of grass cannot move without His support, without His order. You came from beyond the veil of darkness, and You loved me without caring for my qualifications and disqualifications.
This is nothing but Your mercy, and that is why I say that You are mine. And You have taught me how to know You. You know, everything is the object of Paramapurus'a: Paramapurus'a is the Supreme Subject, the Supreme Subjectivity. He cannot be the object, for He sees everything. He is the subject, and the entire universe is the object; but Paramapurus'a Himself teaches the microcosms, the human beings, to make Him their object. That is, during sa'dhana, the sa'dhaka becomes the subject and Paramapurus'a becomes the object. Such a vast entity cannot be the object He is the subject but He Himself has taught that during sa'dhana (spiritual practice), "You should accept Me as your object." And He has further taught that "If you know Me, you will know yourself also."

O Lord,
I have attained You in the smiling crimson dawn,
in the murmurings of the lotus garden,
in the morning breeze,
in the flow of the fountains,
in the lonely treelined forest paths.

I have attained You in the ups and downs of my path,
in laughter and in dance,

in rhythm and in melody,
in sweet remembrances,
in the song of my innermost heart,
in all that I hear and all that I think,
in the murmurings of the lotus garden.

I have realised You,
I have loved You, I have brought You close
in my memories and in all my eloquent dreams.

Purport:
Along the path of progress, the movement towards the goal is not a straight and plain road. There are so many ups and downs. O Lord, You have been with me during the ups and also during the downs. In my pleasures You were with me in the smiles on my face, and in my pains also You were with me, in the tears in my eyes. You have been with me in all circumstances and in all conditions You never leave me. You are so near to me, You maintain the closest proximity to me You are my closest friend.

Whatever You may say,
I will move on without pause.
I will move on without pause,
I will speak my mind without hesitation.

The sky is full of silver clouds.
With the colour of the kash flowers,
the breeze is intoxicated.
The night jasmine flowers
pour out their flood of perfume
and the dewdrops are quivering with joy.

I am not finding Him whom I have been searching
though He knows I am seeking Him,
and though He has threaded a small garland with my songs.

I will move on without pause,
I will speak my mind without hesitation.

Purport:
You may say whatever You like, but You must know that mine is a pauseless march I go ahead without pause, and whatever I say, I say straightforwardly and without any sentiment. I am always under all circumstances, outspoken. In all directions, nature is bountiful and beautiful, full of love and full of melody; and amidst this natural beauty I am simple and straightforward, there is no curvature in me. I am in search of a particular personality, and I know that personality is also in search of me. and I all know that these tiny songs of mine have been accumulated by Him. He is preparing a garland out of my songs.

I will accept no one else but You and I do not want to know anything else.

In the fragrance of the bakula flower
and in a wave of bliss, He came.
He came in the rhythm of the honeybee.

"After every end a new beginning
Nothing really ever ends," He said.

The flows of life are endless and unfathomable.
Even in the desert, they never cease to flow.

In Your momentum,
in Your speed,
In Your current,
we move along.

All pains and all obstacles
these iron gates have all been broken.

Purport:
The Lord came with the fragrance of the bakula flower and with a wave of sweetness, with the rhythm of the honeybee. In His eternal movement there cannot be any full stop. When we say "This is the last point," then we see that it starts once again. A river may dry up amidst the desert, but the flow of life will not dry up, even amidst the desert of obstacles. O Parmampurus'a (Supreme Consciousness), when You are with me, no obstacle can stand before me as insurmountable even iron gates will crumble to pieces when Your grace is with me. O Lord, stay with me.

Let the sufferings of each be shared by all, for this world belongs to us all.

What is the honeybee in the bower
trying to say with its buzzing?

Those who hear the language of the heart,
what pangs of yearning do they try to express,
playing on the strings of the lyre of their minds?

For such deep feelings there is no language.
For such infinite desire,
there is no strength of attainment.

All glories, all greatness
lie prostrate at Your feet.

All lotuses,
pure or impure,
seek to offer themselves to You.

Purport:
What are the buzzing bees trying to say? They want to say something about Paramapurus'a (the Supreme Consciousness), and those who can hear the language of the heart, they also want to say something. Everybody wants to express something, but the difficulty is that, where there is depth of ideas, depth of feelings there language fails to express it. There may be so much desire, so much inner longing to express something, but there is no stamina for expression. So under such circumstances there is no other alternative but to surrender at His altar, and offer all the lotuses of human expression unto Him. These lotuses may be clean and pure, or they may be dirty but even if they are dirty, still Paramapurus'a will accept them. He will accept them.

The divine effulgence is suffusing down from above,
for today the Lord of light has come.

The Lord of Light has come today.
The Lord of light has come.

Trembling in fear,
the forces of darkness are fast disappearing.

With a roaring thunder, the storm is raging.
The awesome Lord proclaims,
"Do not be afraid, O do not be afraid.
All the fog is fading away."

The thunderclouds,
the stars and the moon,
the boundless universe
have all awakened today,
for, the Lord of light has come.

Purport:
The Lord of effulgence has come today, and due to His presence, due to His august visit, the dark shades of immorality are fast vanishing away in fear. And in this moment, in this juncture, the Supreme Purus'a, the Lord of all strength and vigour, is saying comfortingly, "O human beings, don't be afraid, the fogs are fast disappearing." In the stars, moon and other planets life is dancing. There is no fear, no fear the Lord of light has come.

I send forth my call to all who would hear.
I seek those who wish to proceed
along the path of humanity.

Humanity has suffered the anguish
of affliction and disease.
In pain and unbearable agony,
it has felt the harsh curse of hardship and want.

I search for those who want to wipe away
those tears of sorrow.

Humanity has endured the pangs of starvation,
borne humiliation and cruel indifference.

I welcome those who desire to apply the healing balm
on those torturous wounds.

Into the madhuka garden His vibration came
The Lord of Light came;
He came, He came.

In life's countless flows and countless forms,
glitteringly He came, He came, He came.

There is no time to sit and weep
or pause and rest along the path.
All pains, all lamentations
He made me forget today, forget, forget.

We must not waste our energy,
for blood is surging in the flow of action.
In all directions the sweetness of mind
rushes towards infinity, rushes, rushes.

The flower of my heart and the flame of my mind
He took away my all,
He took away my all, my all, my all.

Who are you, gazing at the blue sky,

You did not get what you wanted.

The hunger of your body, life and mind

He loves me so much,
yet He does not come.

Who are You that came without telling me,
sending out Your call to rouse me from slumber?

Gracefully moving in the restless wind,
singing Your song of final attainment?

The sun is in the sky, the earth underfoot.
Your trumpet is sounding in the bustling lanes,
sending out Your call to rouse me from slumber,
casting out lethargy and idle lamentation.

Dancing and singing in rhythm,
moving forward on the path
towards the stream of radiant light
sending out Your call to rouse me from slumber.

I live wrapped in His melodies.

In the shadows of melodies, I attain Him.

In the sweet and blissful rhythm of melodies,

He hides himself.

In all my desires,

the final word lies in the heart of melodies.

with their buzzing?

What is that music
that is not lost in the desert,
overflowing with rhythm and melody,
filled with all the colours and fragrance of the earth?

Sitting amidst all of this,
I keep threading my garlands,
filled with all the sweetness of life.

The nectar hidden in the flower,
the fragrance buried in the pollen,
the love deep in my heart
awakening all of these,
I keep on singing,
surpassing the strings of the lyre.

And what are the bees whispering in the garden
with their buzzing?

You are the lost sound that came floating into my ears.
You are the lost rhythm that made me dance.

You removed the tears that filled my eyes.
You are the jewel of the sea that soothed my life.
When You came, You rocked the cradle of the universe.

Love flowed beyond all bounds
by the magic touch of Your dream.
The core of my heart was filled with sweetness,
overflowing with rhythmic melody,
and intoxicated with the fragrance of flowers.

The polestar of life has appeared
to those who have lost their way.
The world has found new momentum.
All directions radiate with effulgent light.

Moving forward is the law of life.
The days pass by without return,
for, this is the rule of life.

The words already spoken,
the pains already endured,
have lost themselves in limitlessness.
And thus the days pass by.

Whatever began in the distant past,
there is something more ancient still,
woven in the melodies of the strings of dream,
on the lyre of the inner heart.

Those who are lost from us
are merged in Your endless vibration.
And thus the days pass by.

Some flowers want to stretch out their arms
to delay the autumn forever.

The spell of winter has not yet come,
for autumn will not depart soon.

The leaves have not yet fallen,
and in this atmosphere I sit and sing.
Let me feel You always near.

The dullness of winter is not yet here.
No mists float before my eyes.
In the lotus grove is no laughter or frolic.

Amidst this atmosphere I ask myself,
"Why do You always say, I'm going, going, going?"

In autumn my basket of flowers
will be filled with the touch of Your life.

The flowers are all disappearing
in neglect and disregard.
Those which remain will wear coloured garments,
will wear the touch of Your life.

On unnamed trees the birds in their nests
repeat Your name in their minds
with the touch of Your life.

In Your mind, I exist,
merging my merriment in Your merriment,
blending my melody in Yours.

Now, sweet nectar will flow,
will flow in the touch of Your life.

At the end of autumn, in the frosty air,
why does the lotus not bloom?
Around the nectarless flowers,
why do the bees not hover?

Though in the forest,
the lotus does not blossom,
in the mind it blooms.
Though around the flowers,
the bees do not hover,
they hover around the nectar of mind.

In the melancholic melody of autumn,
the forest is filled with the song of sadness.
Yet, thinking of Him, all pains are alleviated.

At the end of autumn,
in the frosty air,
why does the lotus not bloom?

Though there is no sweet fragrance in the flower,
let fragrance flow from our songs.
With His blessing, we will create a new world.

At the end of autumn,
in the frosty air,
why does the lotus not bloom ?

Today at dawn, autumn came.
Bathed in dewdrops, it came.

Why did it come, O why did it come?

To adorn You, it came,
bringing dahlias and chrysanthemums,
smiling in sheaves of golden paddy,
bringing sweet pomelos,
smiling and giving a touch of orange colour,
bringing the perfume of plum flowers,
smiling in the juicy dates, it came.

I remember the harvest festival day,
when we dedicate the harvest offerings to You.

The sky is full of countless stars.
The air is gentle and light and sweet.
The river is flowing in all directions.

With the offerings of harvest we remember You.

In space and water and land
everything is glistening today.
On every face, a smile of sweetness.
On every head, a crown of joy.

With the offerings of harvest we remember You.

You have come with the tremor of winter.
Who are You?
What is this beauty of Yours?

Covering the green fields with ice and snow,
who are You?
What is this beauty of Yours?

In the biting north wind,
on the leafless trees by the wayside,
You wrote an unknown message.

Alas, what is this deprivation?
What is this miserliness?
And what is this beauty of Yours?

The blizzard sends shivers through all of life.
The creepers and plants lose all their charm,
and all are singing an unknown song.

Amidst Your love, why this heartlessness?
And what is this beauty of Yours?

Covering the sandalwood lane with mist
and darkening the light of dawn,
You have come in a still newer expression.

Assuming such wondrous form,
covering familiar paths in darkness,
concealing all sweetness,
the winter season has come.

Bearing the pains of countless ages,
assuming such wondrous form!

Beyond the veil of deepest darkness,
the rays of light are suddenly suspended.
But only for a single moment
then the Lord of Light opens His eyes
and the black fog dissolves into limitlessness.

After winter,
light will flow,
still more beautifully than before.

Sending shivers down the lanes
of thorny date trees,
moist with dew,
winter has come with encrusted snow,
building new glaciers of ice.

The birds and animals rush away to faroff lands
to preserve their lives and enjoy warmth,
in the hope of finding a new sun.

The water lily no longer blooms with blushing sweetness.
Tell me, today, at whose call, in this chilly dawn,
did the beautiful earth became bare?

Winter came, like an ascetic yogi.

In winter, why does the night jasmine not bloom?
Why does the lotus not speak?

No, no, no, they do not speak at all,
for, they are shivering with cold.

And those who remain merged in Your thought,
their minds all long for You.

The earth today is internally gay,
perhaps it has recognized You.

The flower of mind has bloomed in countless ways
but all the blooms are buried in Your mind.

The winter has come,
bringing images of colourful flowers,
flowers without fragrance, without nectar,
and the pale light of the sun.

When the sun was near,
I thought in my mind,

"I cannot endure this unbearable heat
O awesome Lord, be gracious enough
To grant us the gift of rain showers!"

But now, in the pale light of the sun,
I think

"It was better when the sun was near."

Listen one and all, O listen,
the distant sun will again come near.
Do not be anxious!

In the cold of the earth,
in the pale light of the sun,
with the song of hope,
we paint pictures of a new time to come.

Come, O Lord, let us all move

blending our rhythms with Yours,

in the rhythm of dance,
spring comes and comes.

The fogshrouded trees now glitter with light
and again smile.
New flowers and leaves cover the earth's body
with ornaments of wildflowers,
spreading their disheveled hair all over the sky.

Spring rushes in the rhythm
of the purvasha* dance,
adorning nature with beauty
In this month of sweetness,
spring comes and comes.

Waves of sea breeze waft aloft.
The warm ocean laughs and smiles;
all departed charms return again.
The one who is the source
of this sweetness and splendor
in thoughts of Him the mind blissfully floats.

Today, in the vernal breeze,
on graceful feet,
I dance like a fountain.

With my colourful vision
I decorate the cloudless sky,
painting it with all my sweetness.

Today, I move and move in Your rhythm
and perfume myself with Your divine fragrance.
I move along in laughter and joy.
With palash blossoms, I colour the path crimson,
for You only, Lord of my innermost heart.

Today, no obstacles obstruct our path.
Into Your garland my heart is woven.
With Your melody my song is in harmony.

Today, in the cuckoo's sweet song,
my whole mind floats along.
And to the one towards whom it floats,
I offer my deepest salutation.

Today, in the vernal breeze
with playful footsteps
I dance on and on, like a fountain I dance.
In the cloudless sky, with decorated eyes,
I am painting with all

Today I am moving ahead in Your rhythm.
I am perfumed by Your fragrance
In a joyful spirit I am wandering.
O my dearest Lord!
For You I have coloured the path
with guelderroses.

Today I have no obstacles
for my onward movement.
My heart is threaded in Your melody.
Today, with the call of the cuckoo,
with the sweet song,
everything of mine floats away,
floats towards that divine one
to whom I give my salutations.

intoxicated with sweet fragrance.

In the distant sky the stars are smiling

and, with the warm current of life,
has awakened flower buds and removed all dullness.

On the earth there is only joy.
With the touch of life everything smiles,
and in His current everything flows.

In the grueling heat of the sun,
in the summer's scorching heat,
the jasmine, the white creeper,
and the soothing breeze,
bring at last some cooling freshness.

But the mind want still more coolness,
in the summer's sweltering heat.

The mango branches are laden with fruits,
the blackberries hang low on the branches
this terrible heat we can no longer endure.
The mind always thinks of the summer's scorching heat.

The fragrance of flowers in the cool night breeze
brings some relief but the mind wants more
in the summer's sweltering heat.

All the countless torments of countless lives
have collected together in summer
and the mind constantly calls
"O awesome Lord, send rain showers!",
in the scorching heat of the summer.

O Lord, whisper Your secrets into my ears.
The sufferings of all in summer
convey to me in Your songs,
in Your songs, in Your songs.

The flower blossoms have burned and dried,
and the unopened buds have fallen on the path.
The river's flow evaporates in the air.
Is this pain only mine, or shared by all creatures?

Lord, whisper into my ears.
The grass sprouts want to awaken,
but do not, for fear of the heat,
and the ice melts in the warmth, like tears.

In the summer holidays, if He comes,
I will offer Him flowers in my outstretched palms,
I shall offer flowers, only flowers.
In the crimson sky beside the groves of jasmine and magnolia.

If He comes on His rhythmic, rosy feet,
I shall offer flowers in my outstretched palms.

Even now the cuckoos sing a few notes.
in morning and evening when the sea breeze blows,
on branches of the kimshuka trees,
the papaya bird calls.
The rivers have dried up, almost all.

I shall offer Him flowers, in my outstretched palms.

The sharica indica flowers have almost all fallen.
The silk cotton trees are laden with seeds.
On the grapevine, clusters of grape hang low,
and in the bower of ma'dahavii flowers
swarms of black bees are humming around the blossoms.

I shall offer Him flowers in my outstretched palms.

In the summer holiday season, if He comes,
I will offer handfuls of flowers,
I will give flowers, only flowers.

In the crimson dawn sky
Your rhythmic crimson feet
remain beside the Bela
and Ca'mpaka flowers.
To Your rosy feet I will offer
handfuls of flowers.

Still the cuckoo speaks something.
In the morning and evening
the southern breeze blows.
In the branches of the Kin'shuka tree
the nightingale is calling.
The river bed has almost dried up.

Almost all the flowers of the
Ashoka tree have fallen.
The Sha'lmali tree is full of seeds.
The bunches of grapes
are growing in abundance.

Today, in the Ma'dhavi grove
in the cluster of flowers,
bees are humming
around flower blossoms.

in the agony of its loss of leaves?
In speechless silence it gazes on.

Today, what does the bamboo grove say?
In the storms of dust it lost its green beauty.
In the cane and kadamba groves,
the sweet spring breeze no longer blows.

O awesome Lord, what is this play of Yours?
This scorching fire? This heartless sport?
The skylark sings in this desert thirst:
"How far off is the sweet melody of rain?"

In the northeast the clouds have gathered
and a strong breeze is blowing
today violent storms have come.
Closing their window in fear of the thunder,
all are sitting indoors,
listening to the dance of the rain.

So many precious trees have been uprooted
and windswept fruits have fallen.
Loosing their nests in tempests and hailstorms,
the birds are weeping.

Just at midday, in the form of thunder,
the awesome Lord dances His wild dances
and ships at sea, in fear and dread,
toss and roll on the crests of waves.

On this earth each and every atom

You have filled with a flash of effulgence.

After the dust storms, all is now pale
and the green field's beauty has disappeared.
In the dry hot fields, in the withered grass,
You have imprinted the identity of the season.
You have come with the resplendence of Bhaerava.

The flow of the river has dwindled
and stars are floating in the cloudless night.
He whose divine sport is the cause of all
has come in summer in a special form.

who are You who came in Your ankle bells,
jingling sweetly like a hundred lyres,
adorning Your body with the lustre of clouds?

The palm trees today have dressed in new garments,
a gentle breeze spreads the pollen of screw pine flowers
and drifts towards the distant azure sky.

Today the frogs are croaking in joy
and the jasmine flowers are whispering secrets
while the blushing kaminii flowers are shedding their fragrance
and glance at You, again and again.

On a rainy night You came
in the garden of tuberoses.

Locking myself in,
alone with wounded feelings,
I sat in a corner of my small house
when You came in the garden of tuberoses.

Storm after storm howled,
pounding and dashing again and again.
Yet, the whole night You kept awake
with Your symphony in the garden of tuberoses.

The rains were pouring in torrential gusts,
sweeping and blowing in gale after gale.
Yet the whole night You kept awake,
drawn by the pull of love
in the garden of tuberoses.

In the stormy night You came
in the garden of tuberoses.
Unmindfully, I sat in my small closed room
and only the tuberoses knew You had come.

All the peacocks have started

In the deep, vibrant sounds from the lyres,
the world without rhythm
has found new life.

The fragrance of jasmine

All the peacocks have started

In the fragrance of the night jasmine

In the autumn morning I have treaded
a garland of night jasmine flowers washed in dewdrops.
With this desire alone, I have come.

I have threaded a garland of night jasmine flowers
when the white clouds were floating in the sky above,
as if covered with honey.

The smiling lilies and loti
swayed with fragrant bliss.
Sitting in that atmosphere, intoxicated with joy,
I threaded a garland for You.

But my garlands are not simply woven
by picking up fallen flowers,
for, mingled with each petal,
is a song of compassion and the love of the dawn.

The whole morning, neglecting all my work,
I have brought this garlands for You.
With a gentle laugh, with a heart full of love.

O unknown traveler!
You came all alone
at the end of the night
when the jasmine flowers fell.

Seeing my door closed,
You stood by the wayside.
My eyes were halfclosed in sleep,
some things I could see,
and some things I could not.

Then, You went away at dawn,
wet with mist at the end of night,
floating in the infinite void.

The jasmine creeper at my door
still carries the message of Your arrival.
Removing its drops of dew,
it remains awake, ever waiting for You.

If at that time I had opened my door
and whispered a word in Your ear,
on that autumn midnight,
I would have floated aloft
and mingled myself in Your melody.

O Traveler, You came alone at dawn.
When You arrived,
the shiuli flowers fell to the ground.

Finding my door closed,
You remained standing by the roadside.
My eyes were sleepy,
Some things I could see, some things not.
Then You left in the dewdrenched dawn,
disappearing into the formless.

The jasmine creeper at my door
still carries Your message.
As the morning dew disappears,
remains in me the hope of Your return.

If my door had been open,
I could have spoken to You
and merged myself in the flow of Your melody.

Autumn is not only floating on the rafts of white clouds.

Autumn comes in life, it comes in the mind.
Autumn enchants the world
and it smiles
in the innermost heart.

Autumn is not only in the aroma of pomelos.
Autumn is not only in the rhythms of the swaying kush grass.

Autumn comes in life,
it comes in the mind.
Autumn thrills the world,
and it smiles in the innermost heart.

Autumn, with Your enchanting melody,
has intoxicated the sky and the air.
With the nectar of the distant azure void,
it has coloured the life of this earth.

The rivers are full of water.
The verdant beauty of trees and plants,
have awakened golden dreams in all.

In the sweet and silvery clouds,
all hopes are drifting along awakened.
All rythms are rushing towards Him.
The autumn has intoxicated the sky and the air.

and all beings are filled with mirth.

The world has lost itself in joy.

Today, the fountain of effulgence is flowing.
In joy, the papiya bird bursts into song.
Today, with sweet jingling rose feet,
filling my life, who has come?

Today, a flood of nectar flows along.
In joy and delight the three worlds sing.
Today, all desires are drenched in sweetness.
Filling my mind, who has come?
The world has lost itself in joy.

One rotation is complete.
The days flow on,
the year passes by.

How many flowers have dropped down?
How many fruits have fallen?
The year passes by.

With what warmth did we sing our rhythmic songs!
With what pain did we cry a flow of tears!
The year was mingled with my life,
and now, today, it is gone,
into oblivion it flows.

Those who come,
go to depart
and those who depart,
go to return.

Those who float into the distant blue sky,
will return in newer and newer forms.
The year passes by.

One rotation of six seasons is complete.
The days flowed on, the year passed by.

How many flowers have faded away?
How many fruits have fallen off?
The year passes by.
With what agony and flowing tears
the year has mingled with my life!
Today it is gone,
into oblivion it flows.

Those who come, come to depart.
And those who depart, go to return.
Those who float into the distant blue sky,
will return in new forms.
The year passed by, one rotation is complete.

Nothing is now unmelodious

in this atmosphere

Your life, I will offer back to You.
With Your name, let me be intoxicated.

The tender new leaves are now fullgrown.
Their reddishness has now become green.
I want to dedicate myself to serving all,
with renewed vigour and fresh strength.

I shall no longer sing songs of despair.
I shall no longer think of my life as a burden.

with sweetest bliss,
let me carry Your message on.
Let new light dawn upon me.

In love and affection,
You are a father to us.
In our perfect little house,
let boundless love prevail always.

Wherever I look, I see only His form,
glittering both inside and out.
In the sky and in the air He floats,
shining in pure resplendence,
smiling in all the flowers.

With the magic of His sweetness,
He sings in unspoken words into all hearts.
With sweet vibrations
He comes in the cadence of dance.

How can I forget Him?
He who stirs the seven realms
and makes them swing and dance?

Whether I hide myself in mountain caves,
or conceal myself in the sky,
disguised in skyblue garments
wherever I go
He is already there,
surrounding all.

He smiles in the iris of the eye.
He smiles in the pupil of the eye.
The more I try to forget Him,
the more I remember,
the more I remember.
How difficult is it to live without Him!

Wherever I look, I see only His form.
He is inside me, glittering and laughing.

You came in the silent midnight
to enlighten the sky of my heart.
Though I had no merit, You still came
and taught me how to love,
to love all living creatures.

The more I feel I will forget You,
the more I am caught in Your embrace.
I cannot forget Your dangerous flute.

The flute that overflows the banks of my heart.
It fills me with laughter and removes all my tears.

Your dangerous smile,
Your bewitching smile,
Your bewitching flute.

In all seasons, on all days,
You are mingled in my existence.

In every atom and cell of my life,
my body in Your body,
my atoms in Your atoms,
You are merged in my mind,
You are merged in my entire mind.

You came in the silent midnight
to fill my all with Your effulgence.

You are like a black ribbon,
mingled in my braids
black merged into black.
You are in my cosmetic mark,
in the collyrium of my eyes.

You are so close, yet I cannot see You!
Why this unique sport,
why this game of hideandseek?
I do not understand.

My happiness knows no bounds;
I feel You so close.
I am always afraid lest I may lose You.
Why I am afraid, I do not know.
The more I decide not to worry,
The more and more I worry.
Why I worry, I do not know.

For ages You have kept me awake,
lightning the flame of my life,
unfolding the wings of my mind.
Come and stand before me, smiling,
with Your gentle steps, on Your rosy feet.

You are like a black ribbon,
mingled in my braids,
mingled in the black mole on my cheek,
mingled in every pore of my life.

In the sky and in the ocean,
in forests and fields,
in creepers and leaves,
He remains concealed.

In the autumn midnight
He fills the night jasmine with fragrance.

How can we forget the one,
whose beauty is the universal beauty?
We cannot forget Him.
We cannot forget Him.

How can we remain away from Him
whose light is the universal light?
We cannot, we cannot,
we can never keep away from Him.

If ever my fragrance bloomed like a flower,
on the branch of a beautiful forest tree,
He would surround me like a tender red leaf,
encircling me with His crimson radiance.

I want His embrace forever.
I never want to go far away.

In the sky and in the ocean,
in forest and fields,
in creepers and leaves,
He remains concealed.

All flowers,
blooming from dawn to midnight,
are filled with His blissful fragrance.

Where the sky and the ocean meet,

hold my hand and take me,
to that fardistant horizon.
Take me, O Lord.

I want to float in Your formless effulgence,
in Your transcendental melodies.
Whenever I decide not to see You in my mind,
I look and see You already seated there.

My body in Your body,
my atoms in Your atoms,
You are merged in my mind,
You are merged in my entire mind.

You came in the silent midnight
to fill my all with effulgence.

You are hiding in my mind
radiating Your effulgence secretly,
radiating Your effulgence secretly in my mind.

Then I look and see You already seated there
radiating Your effulgence secretly in my mind.

At dawn and at midnight, on all days,
You are everywhere,
inside and outside the deepest recesses of my heart.
So I am never alone.

O, I am never alone.
I am never alone anywhere.

that priceless name
without which my life would turn valueless.

How blissful is the name that entered my ear,
leaving a sweet touch in the core of my heart.
In the rhythm of that name, with sweetest bliss,
the overjoyed earth took shelter in Him,
swaying in the rhythm of His name.

In His current I am floating, floating.
In His effulgence I am laughing, laughing.
In Him I remain merged,
merged in Him I remain.

With the crimson colours of His light,
I shall colour Him.
His name I will spread throughout the universe
with sweet ideation.
I will spread His sweet name with sweet ideation.

The evening approaches with the sweet touch of sadness.
Holding the evening lamp,

come inside
and radiate light on all sides.

In the swinging of Your life,

With the magic of Your melody,

My overflowing heart constantly rushes towards You.

My overflowing heart constantly rushes towards You.

In the northeastern corner of my mind
countless clouds have gathered.
In the golden light of Your pure smile,
where did the clouds drift to?

Where did they drift to,
those clouds that had gathered?
O where did they drift to?

In the golden light of Your pure smile,
where did the clouds drift to?

In this brilliant crimson dawn,
please colour my mind.
Remove all my shame,
remove all my fear,
remove all my pettiness remove it all.
Remove all my pettiness.

In this crimson dawn, please colour my mind.
In the distant blue sky,

my mind constantly yearns for You.

You created countless waves of vibrations.

In Your melody the river flows,
in Your sweet resonance the deer gazes on.
With Your touch all atoms and molecules
vibrate in symphonic harmony.

The mind forgets space and time.
Everything rushes off,
rushes off beyond time and space.
Forsaking all momentum and all sentiment
forsaking everything,

O Lord,
You came from beyond the valley of darkness.
For aeons, I had been waiting for You,
night and day, night and day.

How many days passed by?
How many stars vanished from the skies?
Yet, I remained awake, waiting for Your advent.

Finally, You came to me on a blissful night
and fulfilled all my hopes,
with Your refulgent splendour.

In a sweet dream in the campaka grove,
I have seem Him in the mirror of my mind.

In the tranquil air and intoxicating fragrance,
with eyes filled with wonder,
I have seen Him on the banks of the stream.

From the invisible land the flower pollen drifts off
and to the invisible land it returns.

The peacock of my mind
sways through the blue sky,
and spreads out its fanlike tail.

On a moonlit night,
on a solitary path,
my heart, overflowing with love,
keeps dancing around Him.

A flood of light beyond light,
a neverending flood of light,
flows on eternally.

He, the source of light, loves me deeply.
His image resides in my mind.
At times He is so very close,
at times He is so far.

As He drifts along,
He vibrates all with songs and melodies.
The lotus in my mind blooms in numerous hues
and, full of nectar, rushes towards Him.

Come, come, O Lord, come into my heart!

With Your rosy feet and charming face,
with Your sweet and loving smile.

Your name thrills my heart,
I am coloured with Your colour.
In Your song, in Your dance,
everything of mine dissolves.

In deepest meditation,
my life is lost in You.

The unknown one, who I called again and again,
today appeared in my dream.
I secretly glanced at Him in the rainbowcoloured sky.

With the sweet jingling of ankle bells,
in pleasant, delightful contemplation of Him,
I have understood that He,
the unknown one, was residing in my eyes.

I learned everything about Him.
And yet, I now realise how little I really know about Him.

In pain and pleasure, unknowingly,
all long for Your Grace.
Come closer to me, come still closer.
All seek Your Grace.

You sympathize with the sorrows of all.
You are the eternal companion.
Your enchanting flute and sweet smile,
break all barriers,
and flood my heart with joy.

Beyond the ocean of darkness,
You are the effulgent light.
Of all loves, Yours is the greatest.
In Your rhythm all are dancing,
as if caught in the spell of a dream.

In creepers and plants,
in the pollen of flowers,
in the blue of the sky,
in the flow of streams,
You have spread Your sweet smile,

In the mountain caves,
in the bottom of the sea,
in every atom, in the depth of ideas,
You remain ever wakeful,
floating in the sweet blossom of mind.

in breathless expectation.

I will fulfill their hopes.
I will cause the stream of life to flow.

Removing tears, I will bring smiles.
Crying will cease and flutes will play.
On this earth will descend auspicious days.
Sorrows and pains will torment me no more.

Remember, this path leads to Him alone.

Amidst light, amidst the dancing light,
joining hands with all,
we move and we shall continue to move.
We shall lift by our hands those who are tottering.

We hear the rhythmic songs of their footfall.
We hear the beats of their hearts,

The one whom I eagerly want,
wants me too.
He stands at the farthest end of my path.

lie scattered throughout the universe.

They lie embedded in its every pore.

In the minds of all, in every atom,
He resides,
hiding from all.
However much we may look for Him outside,
we never see Him in the outer world.

We attain Him in love,
in devotion,

You came, O Lord,
to rouse me from slumber,
to lead me on along the path of consciousness.

Alas, forgetting You,
I was moving on a wrong path.
I could not keep myself on the right track.
Many a day had passed,
many evenings had come and gone,
many a night had passed in agony.

I could not follow the right path.
I could not move on the right track.

But today You have come in person
to guide me along the path of consciousness.
With Your gracious arrival,
all my pains and all my despairs,
are now over.

Without You Grace,
the boat of my life drifts in a shoreless ocean.

I don't want to listen to anything else.
I don't want to gain any further knowledge.
In only want You to come near me.
With outstretched hands
I catch hold of Your feet.

I fear the light of arrogance of action.
I detest the vanity of knowledge.
Come silently and sit beside me
in blissful attainment.

All action and all knowledge attain consummation in You.
Of all action and all knowledge,

You are the terminating point.
Once You are attained, everything is attained.

reverberate with His footsound.
The worlds vibrate with His divine vibration.

On the dazzling peaks of snowy mountains
and the high waves of the oceans
is imprinted His message only.

The leaves and creepers,
the soft lines of flowers,
the festival of colours in the recesses of our minds,
the last of the forgotten thoughts

are all vibrating with His vibration.

Hence, before my departure,
I send forth my clarion call to all:
O human beings, follow Him and Him alone.

long for Your divine shelter.

Peacefully grounded,

To whichever way I look,
I see only You.
I have come from You,
and to You only I return.

All Your divine sports,
all games of hide and seek
are directed unto You alone.

One who remains forgetful of You,
becomes deluded into selfoblivion.
Such a one loses himself/herself in Cimmerian darkness.

graciously fill the pores of every mind with hope.

Life ceaselessly moves on.
We continuously dance towards that formless self.

We did not come here to weep.
We came for rhythm and song.

The remote nebulae move through emptiness,
and the mind swings like a pendant.
Even dustmotes move at splitsecond intervals,
and from dying grasses new shoots emerge.

By my urge to live and the radiance of my spirit,
I move on,
trampling underfoot all pessimism.

I have lost my poem in the gardenia grove.
I concede defeat to the aroma of the gardenia.

Instead of diving within,
I am moving about externally.
I did not respect Your advice.

All pains embedded in the cave of my heart,
all unspoken words,
have vanished.

I cannot understand
whose fragrance brought about this transformation.

But I know,
my poems, my songs,
are not my own.

You brought nectar to flowers.
You gave melody to music.
You vibrated the universe
with the ocean of light's surging waves.

In the silent moonlit midnight,
You sung songs of spiritual awakening.
Into the caverns of Cimmerian darkness,
You poured new light.

You are everywhere.
You exist in every age.
You were in the past
and will forever remain.

From the inner core of minds,
You sing songs of limitlessness.
You lead everyone far beyond
the realms of mundane aspirations and attainments.

Come, O Lord,
come graciously into the temple of my mind.
I have prepared the altar for You.

Come from the world of formlessness
into the world of forms.
Come and sit close to me.

I hold and offer You
the burning lamp of my life.
I fill my basket of offerings
with mental fragrance.

The fullbloomed, hundredpetalled lotus of my life
is the flower arrangement I made for You.

Free from the pride of knowledge,
and the vanity of life,
I approach You with an unburdened heart.

Loosing the path in the ocean of darkness,
don't forget the polestar of your life.
Don't forget the formless one who keeps on dancing,
encircling darkness from beyond the ocean of staticity.

Keep everfresh flowers on the altar of your mind.
Fill it with a sweet smile bathed in dewdrops,
and see His radiance float in the vast void.

In the ocean of boundless spirituality,
there is neither prayer, nor asking, nor attainment.
Just keep on watching His Majesty

and saturate your heart with His radiance.

Forgetting You,
who is able to remain in this universe?
The world bubbles with vitality,
and glitters with Your august presence.

Forgetting You,
whatever we think
becomes mere imagination.

Forgetting You,
whatever we say
turns worthless.

Without Your touch,
all the earth's joyous smiles and lights
remain mere illusions.

In the attainment of Your blessing,
in receiving Your divine touch,
everything becomes sweet and pleasing.

Fill the pot of my heart to the brim.

In halfbloom,
the flower buds await Your light.

All celestial bodies of the distant void
speechlessly await Your divine melody.

With Your light,
with Your melody,
You bring new vibrations to the universe.

You love those who love You.
You also love those who love You not.

By exchanging macrocosm with microcosms,
You fill all beings with the elixir of life.

This lyre of my mind has lost its rhythm.
It produces music, only if He plays it.
Merging one's melody in His melody,
one will have to play the instrument.

In all expression, He smiles.
He persistently refuses to sit beside me.
The smiles of my heart drift away
towards an unknown, fardistant land.

He looks into my eyes,
eluding my grasp.
He leaves me behind,
dancing to the magic of melody.

In silent hours,
from within the core of my heart,
who calls me
in the language of songs?

He says,
come, come,
sit beside me.
Why keep away
at this odd hour?

Much time passed by.
Many a crimson dawn,
many a radiant evening,
vibrating with the surging waves of life,
faded away.

Why did You not come?
Why did You not sit beside me?
Why did You not respond to the call of those
who longed for Your response?

O Lord, You went afar.
With what magic
do You bind me today?
With what bond of flowers?

I am baffled and do not know what I should do.
I have decided to garland You.

In the stream of ideation,

You have woven a garland of songs,
anointing it with Your melody.

By the touch of divine life,
even burning meteors
seems as soothing as sandal paste to me.

By the cool green shade of divine life,
the desert thirst is forever quenched.

Today, all pains and agonies of life
lie mingled as if in a basket of soft flowers.

I wait and wait and look within.
And in the pleasant pains of my heart
I discover that You have poured on me
profuse love.

The lost melody of the beginning of my life
still sing its song in my heart.
It is full of colours and forms,
yet, due to shyness,
I do not sing it publicly.

O Brother, remove this shyness,
allow the bud of my mind to bloom.
By Your divine sport and illusory action,
make it bloom charmingly and beautifully.

The bud of my mind is covered with leaves.
It tries to peep out through the gaps between these leaves.

Today, forgetting all shyness and fears, I move forward!
I move ahead,

from the colourful earth,
towards the realm of formlessness.

O my Companion,
come into my small heart.

I have been waiting for You
for eras and eras.
Onto Your path, I have been looking.
Even though I know You exist everywhere,
I nevertheless pose as ignorant.

In ideas, You come and go.
Yet, I consider You limited within space.
No matter what I think,
by Your pull, I lose myself in You.

Spread Your effulgence on my mental screen.
Play on Your lyre the enchanting cha'ya'nat' tune.
Stay, O my Companion, with a smile of sweetness.

I eagerly await You,
merging my rhythm into Yours.

__________________________

Come, my friend, into my little heart.
I have been waiting for Your arrival for eras and eras.

I know that You are everywhere,
yet, I do not realise it.
You come and go and I mistake You
as an entity of this relative world.
Whatever I may think of,
You pull my mind
and let it merge in You.

Spread Your effulgence
in the lamp of my mind.
Play Your viina' in the cha'ya'nat' raginii.
Take Your seat, my dearest friend,
with a charming smile.

I have remained awake,
waiting for You for ages,
merging my rhythm into Yours.

The flowers are covered with a veil of shyness;
fill sweetness into their heart.

In the moonlit night,
why does the cakor bird smile?
What does the honeybee,
coming into my mental garden,
convey by its buzzing?

Whatever the peacock,
perched on the branch of a tree, says,
tell me.

If You so desire,
flowers will bloom on dry branches
and the dumb will speak.

The morning sun's crimson glow
fills vitality into each particle.
The colourful form of the evening sun
awakens within me a new consciousness.

What a divine game of Yours is this,
providing evernew experiences?
An impression of love has filled my mind
and marked my life.

In the physical and psychic worlds,
all adore You in deepest contemplation.
___________________________________

In Your songs,
I always keep my mind's eye awake,
my Beloved Friend.
Through the stream of Your melody,
day and night,
I find You in the core of my heart.

In the red luster of the crimson dawn,
my heart is filled up to the brim.
The colourful picture of the evening sun
awakens within me a new consciousness.

What kind of play (Liila) is this?
Ever new feelings, draw lines of love
in my mind and in my heart.

The people of heaven and the people of the
earth welcome You in their dhyana.

By His wish anything becomes possible
on this dusty earth.

If the river wants to flow from the estuary
to its source on the mountain,
it is possible by His wish.

If He wants, He can dissolve the earth within a moment.
If He wants, heat can be brought over icecapped mountains.
If He wants, on stonewalls, flowers will bloom.

If He wants, dark nights will radiate light.

O dear Friend, come and stay in my contemplation,
I adore You wholeheartedly.
Do not remain far, surrounding me with fog.

My Companion told me He would return
and then left.
But He did not return till today.

With jingling lyre strings,
He told me to abandon the crooked path
and search for the straight path.

Yet, I wandered about endlessly
forgetting the Supreme Desideratum.
I did not move on that illuminated straight path
in the first place.
Attachments prompted and pulled me.
I forgot the essence of the instruction conveyed to me
to search the truth.

Today light shines forth from all sides
telling me to closely remain on the right path.

O Lord, in return for Your unlimited,
immeasurable love,
alas, what have I given You?

With both hands, I have taken everything,
I did not learn to give, I only learned to take.

You filled my life with flowers,
fruits, beauty and taste.
You blessed me with intellect, radiance and sweetness.
You gave me more than I deserved.

Now, please grant me only this much:
the right and strength
to hold You in my heart.

O my Companion in pain
all the sweetness of my life,
I offer unto You in abundance.
_________________________

What have I offered to You
in exchange for Your unbounded and fathomless love?

I haven't learnt how to offer.
I have learnt only how to accept from You.

You have overfilled my heart with flowers and fruits,
forms and flows.

Intellectual brilliance, sweet charms;
You have offered more than I wanted.

Pray, only give me the right to say this much:
that I have always held You in my bossom.

O Lord, my Eternal Friend in adversity!
All the nectar of my mind, I pour out unto You.

With enchanted eyes,
I was observing

and melodious nectar.

Today my mind is lost in Infinity.
It has shaken off all binding attachments.

By attaining You,
I attained all,
and became filled with overwhelming bliss.

O Brother, come and intoxicate all!
Let everyone dance to Your rhythm and melody.

Days are coming and going.
Whereto they go, nobody knows.

Sometimes consciously
and sometimes unconsciously,
they drift away;
at times in sleep,
at other times even in an awakened state.

Where was I?
When did I come?
What for did I come?
I have forgotten it all.

I only know that He is mine.
My wants, He knows best.
My purpose and all arrangements,
are all being taken care of in His mind.

On that silent night with You,
many untold dialogues had been left pending.

Why do thousands of thorns reside in floral gardens?
Why does the stream follow a rugged path?

Why does the lotus blooms in dirty, stinking water?

Why does a dark path appear on this joyful earth?
On this creation,
anointed with colourful dreams
of love and affection
why does the shadow of destruction dance?

Why do ego and pride forcefully
need to learn to surrender unto Your feet?
___________________________________

On a still night,
I am yet to convey many unspoken things to You.

Why are there countless thorns in a rose garden?
Why do streams flow along rugged paths?
Why does the lotus, full of fragrance bloom in turbid waters?

Why does the earth, full of smiles, revolve in a dreary orbit?
Why does the shadow of death dance over the entire creation,
bubbling with love, compassion and colourful dreams?

Why do pride and vanity abjectly surrender to Your feet?

Come to me with each breath I take.

Sit close and stay beside me.
Fill my mind with fragrance.
Who else is mine exept You?
Who else listens to me?

There is no other to whom,
in solitude, I can covey my secrecy.

O Brother, continue singing,
and fill the air with fragrance.

With a gentle smile,
take away from me
all that is mine.

When He went away to a distant place,
tears of affection overflowed in my eyes.

In the end, my dear Companion
had made me understand,
our secret love for one another.

Tell me, tell me, have You forgotten all that?

He never came afterwards,
He did not speak a word.
Has He forgotten my inner pain?

But I am unable to forget His memory,
which still is stirring my mind.

Should I remember or not,
with what floral garland
He had tied me?

Waiting to listen to Your footsteps
by the path You would arrive,
I have remained watchful for eras.

You had given me a floral garland..
now, only its thread remains,
all flowers have withered away.

Days are coming and going in the game of time,
even the nights are intensely illusively dark.
I am looking for Your arrival from all sides,
counting time every single moment.

This tiredness of eager waiting,
this pain of endlessly counting time
When will it be over? Tell me.

O Lord, when You came I became lost in You.
I cannot forget that incidence.
Your sweet attraction and charm,
rhythmically swayed on to and fro.

By diving deeply into the ocean of forms,
I found the formless jewel.

Like a begger who, in his imagination,
puts on a royal crown,
so I, likewise, by singing Your name,
become absorbed in Your ideation.

Through concentration and meditation,
day and night,
my spiritual effort finds fulfillment.

through the laughter of the youth
and through the enchanting beauty of the earth.

Continue singing Your affectionate words to all, O Lord.

You dance in every particle.

In dream I found You,
In dream I became introduced to You.
In dream I loved You,
In dream I understood You.

O embodiment of consciousness!
You are the candle flame in each life.
You resonate in all lyres.

You are the fragrance of every flower.
You are the coolness of sandalwood.
You are the murmur of the dense forest
and the sweetness of honey.
You are the water fountain on the dry desert path.

Continue spreading forth
Your pole starlike effulgence!

O my Eternal Companion,
my Dearest One,
You are the essence of my life.

By Your form, affection and attachment,
my mind expands.
I float on in the flow of Your imagination.
By Your name and song, I merge into Infinity.

O my Innermost One,
You are infinite intuition.

In the intense heat of summer,
You provide coolness.
In snow and ice,
You are the warmth of my life.

Come, come closer,
sit on the throne of my heart.
And sooth my every pain.

O Lord, always stay with me,
so that I may forever hold Your feet.
Never go away.

During storms and cyclones,
and during my inner pains
play Your Divine melody for me.

Within Your shade (shelter), all remain happy.
By contemplating You, all forget their pains.
I shall keep holding Your feet.
I will not let loose.
I want to continue feeling Your sweet touch.

Do not keep in Your mind my faults,
I am Yours.
Do not make me become restless,
remaining separated from me.

Why are your eyes full of tears?
It is not the rainy season;
so why do you cry?
I am the same as always,
dancing with joy in radiant light.
So why do you cry?

Vrajava'sii:

We have heard that You are going away
and leaving us.
You are going to Mathura'.
Thinking about this,
with painful hearts we are crying.

Krs'n'a:

To restrain the moralists,
to protect the good people,
I am determined to go to Mathura'.
You should know by now that mentally
I am always with you in Vrindavana.
_____________________________

Krs'n'a:

All of you have tearful eyes,

and leaving us.
Thinking of that separation,
our hearts are restless.
That is why we are weeping.

For the suppression evil and for protecting the good,
I am certainly going to Mathura'

but within each and every mind of this place, Vrindavan,
I am always present

know it every moment.

Listen, listen, O humans of the earth!
An unknown traveller has come.
In His eyes shines a glow of love.
Who knows what message He speaks?

In the rhythm of dance,
He moves along.
With the magic of melody,
He binds all.

Come one and all!
Just see, just see how charming He looks!

Resonating the sound of jingling bells
into everyone's ears,
Spreading rays of effulgence into everyone's lives,
He speaks:

"Look ! I have brought a bucketful
of the nectar of immortality
to distribute to the world."
____________________

O inhabitants of the world, listen!
An unknown traveler has come!

Listen to what is He saying
with eyes full of affection
calling each and everyone.

With rhythmic steps of dance He is moving.
He goes on binding all
with the enchanting thread of melody.

Look! All of you, look!

He is adorned with an attractive outfit.
With the jingling sound of ankle bells,
whispering (melodies) in each and every ear,
radiating effulgence into all lives,
He says :

"Look, I have brought overflowing nectar
to dissolve unto this earth."

Krs'n'a:

To kill Kam'sa and to save the moralists,
I must go to Mathura.
I am going for a benevolent task,
so listen all
bid me goodbye with a smiling face.

Vrajava'sii:

We cannot do this with a smiling face
to let our souls go to hell!
We lay down in front of Your chariot;
we will not let You go.

Krs'n'a:

O, my attendant! Drive the chariot upon them.
I must go to Mathura today;
however dear to me they may be,
I cannot let them stop me from doing my duty.
________________________________________

Krs'n'a:

For anihilating the demonic exploiter Kam'sa,
and to protect the virtuous modest,
I shall certainly go to Mathura'.
So listen all,
I am going for an auspicious task,
bid me farewell smilingly.

Vrajava'sii:

We can do this smilingly,
permitting the moon to be swallowed by the demon.
We lie down on the path of the chariot,
we will not allow You to go under any circumstances.

Krs'n'a:

O charioteer, drive the chariot upon them,
I must go to Mathura' today.
However dear to me they may be,
possessing austere endeavor,
I cannot tolerate obstruction by them.

I am very busy with innumerable works,
so I don't have time to accept the redsweet paint.
O my minister, tell them to go back to Vrajabhumii.

Vrajava'sii:

You have spoiled our everything,
You have poured ashes on our hearts.
Out of bondage of duty
we are leaving for Gokul to start Your work.
___________________________________

Vrajava'sii:

Our hearts are restless for a glimpse of our dear Krs'n'a.
Taking much pain and with big expectations, we have come.
With much effort, we have arranged the colours

Kris'n'a:

I am busy with innumerous activities;
I do not get time for colours.
O secretary, explain to them,
tell them to return back to Vrajabhumi.

By Your refusal, all our hopes have failed.
With tears in eyes , like orphans,
we are proceeding to Gokula for Your work.

O, Na'rada! Listen:
I can be cured from this illness,
if I can get the dust from the feet of my devotee.
In the part of the world where those devotees still hide
watch secretly!

Na'rada:

What to do?
No one is ready to give the dust from their feet for Krs'n'a!
Everyone is telling me,

"We don't want to hear those words of sin!"

O, my dear devotees of Vraja,
can you please tell me
where I should go to save Krs'n'a?
Being afraid of incurring sin,
nobody is ready to give the dust of their feet
in this critical situation.

Vrajava'sii:

O great saint,
We don't know whether we are devotees or not
we have never heard this word.
Without any fear of sin and with courage,
we are giving the dust of our feet to cure our Krs'n'a.
__________________________________________

Krs'n'a:

O Na'rada, listen, this pain of mine
can be eliminated only by the feetdust of my devotees.
Go to different corners of the world and observe secretly,
such devotees are hiding even today.

Na'rada:

What a pitiable condition,
no one wants to give their feetdust for our beloved Krs'n'a.
All tell me that such bad words they will not even listen.
O Vrajava'sii brothers, under this troublesome condition,
tell me where I should go, how can I save my dear Krs'n'a.
Due to fear of sin no one wants to shed their feetdust.

Vrajava'sii:

We do not know whether we are devotees or not,
O Great Sage, we never heard of such event till today.
We are not afraid of sin,

with courage we offer our feetdust
for our beloved Krs'n'a.

of unknown tunes.

In the frenzied wind
and in the soft sky,
I contemplate Your beauty.

In the external world,
in rhythms and songs,
nobody did remain with me.
Nobody was there
to wipe tears off my eyes
when I cried in pain and agony.

In the dark night,
on a solitary path,
I found You ever accompanying me.

Leaving me behind (alone),
everyone else went away.
Now, this false love vanished.

Throughout all atrocities,
You remained with me.
That is why, wholeheartedly,
I catch hold of You.

The honeybee came close,
and, buzzing around me, told me a message.

(It told that) You were sitting alone
and were expecting my call,
(It asked) why I had forgotten about it?

Nobody in life can ever forget You,
be it consciously or unconsciously.

O Lord, with all You are everpresent
in dream, in sleep or in the awakened state.

Even after seeing, we (consciously) overlook,
and do not admit our mistake.
Thus knowingly ignoring,
we go on floating (in the void) unable to find an abode.

Days come and go, and never return.
Whereto they go, we do not know.
Affectionate words painfully vanish into oblivion.

O Lord, remain in the core of my heart,
and, speaking mentally to me,
continue staying even after all others have left.

You had ignored me and sent me onto this earth.
Do You remember?

Today, by Your divine sport and by Your grace,
I could hold You in my mind and in my life.

O Lord, You have come.
Like a peacock unfolding its tail,
You have spread Your effulgence
into the vast blue sky.

By Your touch
my hopeless life,
found new light.

By the tinkling sound of ankle bells
the three worlds have awakened.
Now that You have allowed me to hold You,
come still closer, sit still closer beside me.

I have no energy nor devotion to display.
All I can offer is my wholehearted surrender
and pranam (salutation).
By accepting these, provide fulfillment to me.

I keep on dancing on Your path.
In dream I float on towards that arena,
unobstructed, like a thornfree flower.

In the high tide of ideation,
I keep on smiling.
No low ebb ever attains me.
In the stream of life,
I rush towards You.

By Your blessing and to Your pleasure,
equipped with intuitive knowledge,
I remain absorbed in the play of life.

O Lord, You were so much of my own.
I could not understand this.
You were so close to me.
Why then, did I not call You?

You were within all my actions,
rhythms, songs and melodies.

Even today the jingling of that lyrestring resonates.
I did not listen to it before.

During the deep darkness on my path,
Your memory arised in my mind time and again.
I caused You injuries and agonies,
You left and went far, far away.

Why did not I catch Your feet then?
Why did not I hold You in my heart?

______________________________

How close to me You were,
I did not feel before.
You were very near to me,
why did I not call You?

You were in all my works,
in rhythms, songs and tunes.
That viina' is still sounding,
I did not hear it before.

On the road of my life,
in the dense darkness,
again and again, that memory
comes into my mind.

With pain You kept Yourself away
leaving me far behind.
Why did I not hold You in me heart then?
Why did I not keep You in my dhyana,
removing all hesitations?

Today, come into my heart

Jingling bells are ringing again in sweetest melody.
My formerly painfilled life,

started dancing again, filled with rhythm.

Today, the earth became full of beauty,
taste and floral fragrance.
With an intoxicating breeze in the soft sky,
the earth is dancing.

Those who are away come nearby!
Ride on this tide full of joy.

Why He is far, I am unable to say.
Why He came, that too, I am unable to understand.
The One I wanted most, has arrived onto this dusty earth.

_____________________________________________

The sound of Your ankle bells is ringing again,
ringing again the sweetest melody.
My painful heart begins to dance in perfect rhythm.

The beautiful flower with its sweet scent fills the earth today.
The sky is cool, the air, intoxicating; the earth, replete, ...
Those who are far come closer, come into this flood of bliss!

Why He was far, I cannot say.
Why He has come, I do not understand.
The One I wanted, has come unto this dusty earth.

has made a new melody resonate.

For such a long time I kept on calling You
but only now You heard me.

Why do not You come closer without being called?
Why do You wait for someone's call?
Why do not You speak out without being asked to do so?
Why wait for someone to ask You?

What a new and strange system of Yours is this?
Why do You continue doing Your work in a deceptive way?

Whatever You want, that only I shall do,
I always strive at acting as Your instrument.

So many people come and go,
yet all are moving within You.
By Your melody and form,
You maintain all on Your lap.

In this universe created by You,
many come and again leave.
Yet, no one ever remains lost.

In Your divine show
the clouds were beautifully displaying themselves.

The holy memory of that day
still brings shivering to my being.
How many days, how many eras
have since passed?
Into how many colours
has the earth since then turned?

The lost melody of bygone days
still intoxicates my mind.
Everyone comes and goes
You only are eternal.

You were present in the past,
You are present now
and You will forever be present in future.

In the rain of that day, I attained You.

my vitality swings.

Today, my heart resembles the ketakii (screw pine) flower

remaining standing emptyhanded in solitude.

And yet, that fragrance spreads out across the blue sky.

To the agony of a withered pollen, do You not listen?

Even after seeing floods of tears streaming down my eyes,
You deliberately avoid me.

Don't forget that by Your songs, I move towards You.

Even though You are aware
of the misery and hear the agony
of those who love You

You do not pay heed to it.

My mind goes on floating through the moist wind,
absorbed by the fragrance of the campaka (magnolia) flower.

That Unknown Companion
has poured all the sweetness of His heart into it
and keeps on calling me.

Why does He remain in faroff places?
Why does He not come near?
Why does not He look towards me?
Why does He continue dancing from afar?

Despite He keeping Himself hidden,
I reach Him by His own song and rhythm.

No, no, He is not far away,
He continues loving me in all circumstances.
He stays close to me in pain and happiness.
His sweet smile secretly remains with me always.

Though unacquainted, He is not unknown,
His divine game (liila'),
I have now well understood.

O Lord, on that rainy night,
with dancing steps,
You came and illuminated my heart.

To the continuous jingling sound of ankle bells,
You permeated my mind with a melody
full of sweetness and overwhelming love
and destroyed my dark attachments.

Your sweet affectionate eyes
were filled with beauty
and Your enchanting voice
conveyed the message of an unknown world.

You frequently called me.
You poured nectar onto me.
You intoxicated me with Your soft smile.
You imparted instructions to me.

In the entire world,
no other have I found
who loves me (more).

O Lord, the altar has been arranged for You.
A garland has been threaded for You.

Today I am alert.
Come gently into the temple of my mind.

A lamp has been lighted
to welcome Your arrival.

Come smilingly..
Today I seek Your grace.

I shall continue moving on with You,
merging my colour into Your colour,

awakening a new consciousness within all.

I will live in everyone's heart.
All are mine, nobody is outcast.
We all came to this world

colouring the blooming pala'sh grove firered?

On observation, in my mind,
He appears to be known.
Unknowingly, I have loved Him
and lighted a flame in His colour.

My heart is absorbed in His ideation.
It goes on dancing towards Him.

Without understanding good or bad,
I have found the touchstone.
In frenzy, the secret treasure of mind,
was attained this spring.

O my Eternal Companion,
can You tell me, where You exist?

Why are You calling me
through a game of light
and a festival of beauty?

Sometimes from within the depths of mind,
sometimes with a loud voice
and sometimes by whispering into my ears?

You call me with a voice full of sweetness,
ignoring my mean thoughts.

By pouring divine nectar unto me,
You made me forget myself.

You turned the agony of a deep darkness into light.

by singing Your name and songs,
I have lost myself.

By Your colour and form,
in the dark night,
a fountain of moonlight has appeared.

Today, with tides of joy,
the three worlds flow on and on.
From their core,
sweetness rushes forth in hundreds of flows.

By Your touch and immense happiness,
the string of life today lost itself in Infinity.

Who would want to return to the past
when the world today floats in a flood of light?

Today, with Your arrival,
all fervidity is full of You,
leaving behind the past.

I shall express to You
the hidden agony of my heart.

Why in this world,
does screaming appear
beside pleasure and joy?

Why do happiness and momentary light
suddenly vanish away under a dark pull?

Why do You not respond to the call of those
who continuously aspire for You?

Why do flowers whither away with the ebb
after a high tide?

full of lively earnestness.

The external world invited me by its attractions.
I ignored that inner call, that inner voice.

Today I move on, inspired by that (inner) longing.
By an affectionate and gentle song from within
that lost sweetness has been regained.

took place at the golden shore of the ocean.

With a flood of light,
You arrived at my mental plane.

You came in the silent night
with the tinkling of the lyre string.
The sky was full of poems,
and I charmingly got hold of You.

You became mine in dream..
Why did not You come to me in the awakened state?
Why did You not illuminate my entire existence,
accompanying me in pain, pleasure and distress?

O Lord, neither arrival nor departure,
ever occurs in Your case.
I know it very well and won't accept it.

For You there is no reception nor farewell.
I have observed this fact very well.
I won't say otherwise.

Hidden within all development,
also lies the seed of destruction.
In this way, the eternal divine game
forever goes on in the Cosmos.

Not wanting the smile of Your two eyes to last forever,
You ignite the fire of destruction in the third eye.

Next to the light of creation,
a dark shadow appears;
both light and darkness are within a single You.

He has spread a beautiful effulgence.
He has coloured the entire universe
and poured light into life.

He told that no one belongs to others.
He wants to take all along with him.
I only love and smile and go on dancing
towards Infinity.

He has illuminated all minds.
He realized the pain and agony of all
and consoled everyone.
He crossed the ocean of effulgence
and enchanted all minds.

O Lord, unknowingly,
from area to area,
I have loved only You.

By Your force, I move on
with tremendous speed.
I move forward without dullness.
Innumerous days and nights have passed,
yet, there is still no deviation from the path.
My eyes are ever open.

Today, I find You closer to me
in a sweet and enchanting adoration.
Today, all my pains have dissolved

O Lord, I am offering my life to You,
what else do You now expect from me?

By attaining You,
all my hopes and love have today been fulfilled.
Only to listen to Your footsteps
I have remained ever awake for eras, day and night.

I have been threading evernew garlands soaked in tears.
In the eastern sky light shines forth with a gentle smile.
That smile, O Lord, is full of forms and colours.

_______________________________________

I offer my life unto You.
Will You now look benignly at me?
All my hope and love are centred around only You.

I am ever awake, listening for Your gentle footsteps.
I keep weaving ever new and fresh garlands

and drench them with my tears.

The eastern horizon is radiant with a flood of light.
It betokens a gentle smile of Yours,

full of sweet forms and colours.

O Lord, by what name should I call You?
How is Your worship to be conducted?

What is the utility of flowers and fragrance
when all is the display of Your imagination?

You are beyond all worlds,
You remain above everything.
All entities reside within You.

With what accessories should I worship You?
In which temple should I establish You?

You exist amidst all living and nonliving entities,
You exist in fire, in wind,
in heaven, in hell
and in the vast blue sky.

There is neither invocation
nor relinquishment for You.
No mantra can ever bind You.

O Lord, please come in the lustre of beauty,
in the intense flow of light.
Fulfill my realisation,
colour my mind in Your radiance.

You are beyond this universe.
You are present everywhere,
You are the shelter of my thoughts.
I work for You, I meditate on You.
And thus, I am eternally replenished by Your light.

Don't keep me away.
Raise my consciousness with Your rhythmic tune.
So that I may never feel,
the pain of loss.

__________________

O Lord, come, spreading beauty and effulgence!
Come in illuminating fulfillment of my realisation.

Beyond the world and constituent of the world,
You are the pabulum of all thoughts and ideations.
I continue doing Your work,
I meditate on You in evernew arenas.

Never leave me aside.
Fill my consciousness with rhythmic melodies,
So that I do not shake
by the agony of defeat.

O Lord, You are beyond the world
and yet, You are within it,
why then, do I keep on searching?

In the fire, in the air and in the great blue sky,
by Your grace, everyone has been sweetly touched.
You are the origin of all inspirations,
and of all beauties of all that is created.

Your Grace overwhelms me.
I remain absorbed in that ideation.
You remain alert each moment
in the deep recesses of every mind.

That is why,
searching for You outside,
would be a waste of time.

O Lord, hiding within the mind,
You continue playing Your divine game (liila')
(in the outside word).

My mind appears to have held You,
yet, You are not caught.
Your game comprises pain and pleasure,
it includes innumerous honours and dejections.
The dancing time plays on.
Whereto does it flows away?
Explain this to me.

Perhaps You do not realise my earnestness,
as I do not look within.
Now, my time just drifts away.
Today, I am alone, lost in darkness.

Piercing the bosom of a dark night,
radiate a colourful effulgence upon me.

It is now time to return home.
I arranged a bouquet of flowers
and threaded a garland for You.

Whatever I took, was still less
than what I gave in comparison.
And what I got, was beyond comparison
in beauty, fragrance and taste.

This teardrenched garland is for Him whom I loved.
I go on moving forward, propelled by a past memory.
That sweet memory, that everlasting song
how can I ever forget it?

In a silent moment,
I found that unseen God,
secretly in my life.
In my mind, I could hold Him.

I did not know how close He was.
Even before knowing Him,
I had sung His praise.
By His effulgence,
I became acquainted with Him.

He had been secretly residing in my mind.
How He bound me with a floral thread
and captured my entire being, I do not understand.

His eyes gazed deep into the core of my heart
and induced in it a nectarial flow of forms and colours.

With smooth steps You came near me,
and through the soft breeze,
spread forth a floral fragrance.

Although I had nothing to offer You,
You nevertheless came into my desertdry heart
and quenched its thirst.
By showering Your uncalled grace upon me,
You cleared all dirt from my mind.

By Your sam'giita (song, instrumental play and dance)
all are absorbed in charming

By Your touch, inert wood becomes alive,
In this creation, You are the first and the last word.
In Your pleasure, all forget their pains.

Attaining You, my enchanted heart
lost itself to some unknown realm.

that You are full of such plays.
Thus, You make me float on
in that ocean of games
at each and every moment of my life.

On an inauspicious night,
in the garden of the night queen,
a storm had raged
and not spared my mind.

You did not come.
You remained indifferent.
Hit by the storm, buds of flowers dropped untimely;
and even the fragrance of those flowers that were blooming
vanished with the moonlight.

Alas, despite all this, You did not come.
Forgetting me, where were You?
In what thought were You absorbed?

Hit by the storm,
the strings of the lyre of my mind got broken.
My entire jingling note found an end,
and yet, You did not come.

To which unknown isolation
did You remain confined, oblivious of me?

O Lord, You came on my mental lotus,
disseminating Your flood of light in hundreds of flows,
arousing in my heart the rhythm of a new song (storm).

Do not go away,
sit close beside me,
in rhythm and dance.

Searching You, my heart becomes restless.
In my mind, the melodic flow of a new tune has arisen.
I always fear to find myself

a defeated emperor without his crown.

In quiet solitude, stay with me.

From the depths of my heart...
a song, I shall sing for You.

O my Lord!
You came to me after years and eras.
Why did You forget me?
Please tell me.

So many days have passed.
So many songs without melody
have been sung.

After such a long time,
You graced me,
showering a fountain of blessings upon me.

So many seasoncycles came and went
with the rise and fall of life's flow.
So many arrivals and departures
have I had to witness.

O Lord, Your touch brought a fresh tide
into my consciousness.
Your joy brought heavenly effulgence into this world.

Whenever I look into this great blue sky,
I find no other than You.
You remain in the soft breeze of my mental spring.

Today, I find everything merging into You,
I do not want what I formerly desired.
From the deep and secret garden of my heart
I am pouring out into the world,
what once had remained hidden.
In Your new melody, my love for You overflows.

I attained You in exchange for all.
I know You as the only essence.

O Lord, with a unique decoration of forms,
You have maintained Yourself disguised
within Your own divine game (liila').

You have merged Yourself in Your own
song, melody and rhythm.

Whatever I see when opening my eyes widely,
whatever conclusion I derive by reasoning and contemplation,
in the depth of it all,

You exist hidden,
absorbed in a flow of sweetness.

Within the darkness of pain, Your light remains ever present.
Within losses, the reattainment of new forms is found.
Within negativity, Your positivity persists over and above.

Your light puts an end to all pains.

O Lord, You came with the thunder of clouds
and heavy rains.

In You, the heated and fatigued earth
today found new consolation.

The peacock tail of my mind
goes on dancing in hundreds of rhythms.

The languagedevoid dialogue found new speech
and now flows on towards Infinity.

Attaining You,
my heart today overflows.
In all ten directions,
I find a stir of effulgence.

Today, there is nothing left for me to do.
Lost in enchantment,
I merely contemplate Your form.

Today, the hunger of all three worlds
and the nectar of all three realms
merged into one.

Ever since You awakened my consciousness,

By Your love,
in this new melody of my life's dusk,
I become submerged into a fragrance of sweetness.

O Unmerciful One!
What is this game of Yours?
Is it a new play of cheating in love?

You went away,
yet, day and night,
You remain ever awake in my mind
why is this so?

No matter how much I try to forget You,
I am unable to forget You.
Wherever I look at,
the reflection of Your memory shines forth.

Why did You tie me unto You
with a jingling melody,
using the strings of my psychic lyre?

Please pause a while on the corner of my house

O King of my mind,
provide impulse to me!
Make me move forward in all my actions.

By Your inspiration and propulsion,
the river of my mind

Let me merge in Your harvest.
Let me advance
through memory and contemplation.

Moving forward,
I will not look back.
All actions and the entire world belong to You.

Sitting on the royal bird,
the prince flew through the sky,
unto some unknown destination.

Wearing a goldthreaded blue turban on his head,
he vanished away.

Seven brothers,
resembling campa' flowers,
rushed towards me.

They asked me
where their sister,
a pa'rul flower,
had disappeard to.

The prince, on his bird,
brought the sister back to her brothers.

The seven brothers sat on seven seats,
eating in seven plates,
in the prince's company.

The sister had applied on their forehead,
a ceremonial ritualistic mark.

and calls out aloud in my mental forest.
In my mental arena,
the pollen of kadamba flowers float on,
mixing with the pollen of life.

Today's festivity lies centered around You.
You pervade all environments.
In salutation to You,
the bamboos in the bamboo groves
bend down in hundreds of ways.

Bunches of lotus flowers,
dance sweetly on waves
gently expressing their love.

You are the king of this grand festival,
adorned in an enchanting royal dress.

The smile on His face speaks of love.
His two eyes are full of affection.

That stealer of my heart,
displayed external harshness on me.
Yet, my mind longed to look at Him more and more.

No matter how much I told him
that I would forget Him,
He repeatedly told me to forget Him
and not to turn my eyes on Him.

Unable to forget Him,
I kept my eyes open,
discarding all shyness
I remained intoxicated.

Irrespective of how often I told him
that I would not give Him anything,
He repeatedly told me
that He did not expect anything.

I could not hold back
and, overwhelmingly,
offered my all in meditation.

Such a gamut of games You play with me so
In countless delightful ways You joyintoxicate my mind.

Nothing is done in secret
For in each act You exist
No thought is private
For to You none is unknown.
In Your play divine
The universe dances
Clinging in eternal adoration
To Your feet.

Floods of laughter You shower
And a deluge of torrential tears
Beams of exuberant joy
And the heartrending pangs of pain.
I love You
Knowingly, unknowingly
For Your songs of love
Are strewn across the cosmos.

Come O Lord, come into my mind
Banish my pain
And inundate me in a torrent of delight.

The world drifts
on the mellifluous tinkling
of Your ankle bells.
With Your lyrical call
I tingle in joy.
Come O Lord
In my meditation
Come claim Your sacred seat in my heart.

Bathed in Your joy all sing Your praise.
Mind's peacock breaks into a prance
Into a hundredfaceted dazzling dance.
Look O my Lord
Look lovingly at my face.
Come my Lord
And claim Your sacred seat in my heart.

Come O my Lord in rhythmic dance
Come in my heart, come in my life
Cast at me Your blissful glance
Smile that sweet smile which regales the world
and joyintoxicates my mind.

Shine golden my life
My desolate life
My stonelike life, so dark, so dry.
Come O Lord in rhythmic dance
Come in my heart, come in my life.

In the stagnant and turbid pool of my life
Release Your fresh flow of waters sweet
Dispel my dark pains in the flood of Your light
and dye me in the radiance of Your dawn.

In the realms of countless worlds
in the blinking of every entity
You have scattered Your divine touch.
You bathe the entire universe in unbounded joy.

Your sweetness pervades all
the animate and inanimate
manifest and unmanifest
the known and unknown.
You enter everything, You mingle in everything
You awaken/arouse awareness in all.
Your grace has immortalized in divine effulgence
the mortal world.

Your smile beams the moon into her blissful smile
That smile which induces the water's flowtide.
Your effulgence breaks the earth into exuberant joy
and vibrates in blissful strains the air and the sky.
Your compassion infuses heavenly nectar

into the three worlds
in ceaseless waves
in ceaseless waves.

a mindinebriating dream
manifested today in beauteous form.
In countless ways, in countless minds
all bondages, dancing,
vanish into void.

I love You Lord, and You alone.
In a secret recess of my mind
I listen spellbound for Your sweet flutesound.
Melodies float magically in from far horizons
from the deep serenity of distant skies.
I look to You Lord, and You alone.

Through thunderous squalls
in dark turbulent nights
I crave for Your grace.
Days and nights come and go with Your radiant light.
In a colourful dream, mindinebriating dream,

You manifested today in beauteous form.

beckons me from the distant void,
saying,
why are You standing so far?
Come, come
come into my courtyard.

I have woven for You a garland of stars
in numerous colours and forms
through endless enchantments and games.
Just open Your eyes and survey!
Why stay confined in closeddoored rooms
and suffer ceaseless agony and pain?

He beckons me ingeniously.
I listen for His song
and wonder
in how many ways, my friend,
conveys His melodious call to me?

Harvesting the garden of paradise
I come, with floral nectar and sandal paste.
Smeared with the pollen of parijata blooms
I pour out the nectar of my life.

The fragrance of jasmine floats in
from the distant sky, on a humid breeze
and the lotus of my mind blossoms
full of vivacity.

I sit amidst this rejoicing world
and secretly weave a garland for You.
Black bees assembled in tomalo trees
in brightness and shade
await, to extend to You a royal welcome
with sandal and chua paste.
Here I sit
amidst this rejoicing world
composing songs of devotion to You.

On a raindrenched night You came
and intoxicated me with the fragrance of pandanas.

You came in the deep dark night
to pour forth nectarlike effulgence.

In the thunderous roar
of the stormy night
while the bamboo crashed against each other
with deafening claps,
You savoured the blossoms of kadamba flowers.

Rain clouds floated on tears of deep melancholy.
Smiling girls danced and amused themselves indoors
by tying up their hair and decorating
it with jasmine and malati flowers.

The fragrance of Your pandanas
remains everfresh in my heart.

_________________________

On a raindrenched night,

intoxicate me with pandanas perfume.

From the depths of darkest night
pour forth nectarial effulgence.
Savour kadamba blossoms
in thunderous roar,
while bamboo groves
in the stormy night
fight with deafening blows.

Rain clouds shed tears
of deep melancholy.
Girls, smiling
dance
and amuse themselves indoors,
tying up their hair
with sprays of jasmine and malati.

Your perfume of pandanas
remains fragrant still

Ever tranquil, ever blissful,
Pure Consciousness personified,
grant my prayer to be at Your lotus feet.

You are the very hope of the despondent;
You are love to an afflicted heart;
You are the final shelter for a shelterless wanderer.

You exist in all realms, from their origin to their end,
and my bountiful life is everbuoyant

on the unseen currents of Your love.

Your unbounded grace flows
ceaselessly in all directions.
You are the favourite of all, the most adorable.
You are beyond the ken of human intellect and learning.

You are the repository of all finitude
in the midst of which You sprout.

Yet we cannot know You
who are beyond the limitations of finitude.
When I contemplate You I begin to merge in You;
the casket of my mind,
saturated with the sweet pollen of pandanas,
rushes in total abandon towards You.

______________________________

Ever tranquil, ever blissful

Promise of hope to the despondent
sweet succour to the afflicted
final shelter to the shelterless traveler,
You, who reside in all realms
from beginning to end
from birth to death
keep everbuoyant my life
on Your unseen current of love.

Your grace unbounded
spreads pauselessly
to the ten realms.
You, the most adored
remain beyond the scope of human ken.

who beyond the boundaries of finitude
sprouts from the midst of finitude
yet is the repository of finitude?

Why do You beckon me today
with the melody of the distant?

My mind feels restless at home.
I don't understand why it defies all bonds.

The tightly closed petals of my mind flower
blossomed at the quick notes of Your divine song,
and now they drift contentedly along.

In the garden, black bees buzz Your songs,
whispering Your message in my ears.

At the call of Your song,
the sunflowers stand at attention to salute You.

The sephali tree bows repeatedly down
to decorate the path before You
with a collage of her flowers.

Birds are entranced with Your divine tune
which permeates consciousness throughout the cosmos.

The enclustered petals of mind
suddenly unfold

In the garden
black bees buzz Your melodies,
whispering Your message in my ears.
Enchanted by Your tune
sunflowers turn to salute;
sephali trees bow repeatedly
decorating Your path

Birds are entranced
with Your music divine
which permeates consciousness

You have come
to regale the hearts of all
with intoxicating song and dance.

I light a candle at Your altar
and pour forth the nectar of my life.
Your effulgence has illuminated my whole being.

The Yamuna (holy river) of my mind
breaks into flood tide,
and in Your surging waves,
the diverse currents of my ideation
merge into one tumultuous flow.

with Your bonds of love
with Your sweet song accompanying the music of lyres.

With joyous intoxication, eloquent discussion,
with rhythmic dance and overflowing heartfelt joy,

The garland was woven for You.
Why did You wound me by refusing to wear it?
The eastern horizon is ablaze with crimson rays.

The breeze captured the spirit of colour and love
and my love I wove into a garland in my heart
a garland drenched with tears.

Now the petals have dropped,
one by one, gently down.
You didn't come.
You didn't see me.
You didn't try to understand
the deepest yearnings of my heart.

You are with me always
but I cannot catch hold of You,
I cannot realise You.

Day and night,
in a ceaseless current of melody,
You are mingled
in every particle of my mind.

In the smile of the moon,
in the early dawn,
in the haze of dusk,
in the lightning's flash,
in radiant sun,

You surround me

with my being
You are inextricably entwined.

I am ever awake,

are You bound, my friend,
drifting upstream with the flowtide,

You have cut Yourself adrift
from the moorings of the shore
and, with a tempest's speed
rush towards midsea.
What melody intoxicates You,
tell me, please.

Extinguishing the candle's light
came the tempestuous night,
making You drunk with its song,
carrying You far from the shore.

To which unknown world
are You bound, my friend,
in the breeze boat of my mind?

You pierce the secret cavern of my mind

the flower stalks with thorns?

Why streams must wend their way
over bumpy pebble stones?

Why fragrant lilies and loti bloom
from turbid, dirty pools?

Why the happy earth, home of all life,
in silent space
rotates alone?

Why the starlit sky
which scintillates
with the light of a billion lamps
must extinguish into oblivion
when the full moon sings her tune?

Why children, fresh as floral blooms,
must cry so loud and long?

Why moonbeams peep
like frightened (captive) sheep
through slits in ominous clouds?

Why the peaceful sky with its gentle breeze
can suddenly transform,
spitting streams of hard and painful hail
with the raucous laughter of a storm?

If You, O Lord,
would come and stay
through my nights and days
through my dreams and pains,
if You, O Lord, would agree,
please look for any corner of my being
and be seated there.

Then, if my love prove true,
the garden of my mind will surely bloom,

shall I decorate

Do You realize
how much pain I feel for You?
You never keep account
of the pining of my heart.
In this created world
You keep Yourself engaged
with this important task and that
and never blink a bat
at the wailings of us lowly folk.

From the forests of my mind
shall I glean the choicest blooms
and weave a garland so superb
for You,
and I shall see
if You then will acquiesce
to accept my humble gift or not.

Your melodies shall I sing
with the deepest feelings of my heart
and I shall dance, a joyous dance
around You, Lord,
and will You then
just steal a glance
at me, Your devotee?

You do not understand, my Lord,
the pain I deeply feel.
You really do not care to even know
my sorrow.

Why, Lord, did You choose to come so late?
Ages have passed
and I waited expectantly
for Your advent.

If You really love,
why these aimless pranks.
I wanted You, Lord
from my heart's deep core,
at Your lotus feet
for shelter to take,
and so I waited expectantly
I dared not miss a single beat.

Between dreams and despair
You always kept me suspended (tossed)
in anxious anticipation,
until ultimately You chose to come,
out of Your sweet grace,
out of Your boundless grace.

You are the lamp light

for souls astray.

Without You none exist.
You are the Lord enthroned
in the hearts of all.

No fear, no shame,
no sadness, no pain,
no hesitation,
before You can stand.

You cause empty hearts to overflow
You merge the minds of the meek
into Your infinite flow.

Make my life successful, Lord
With Your sacred name

Some weave garlands of bygone days.

Some mingle hope and joy and make the earth alive.

Some play hide and seek with You.

I have captured that Supreme Charmer

My delight knows no bounds
My heart exalts in joy.

A withered tree in an arid desert
has succumbed
to the brilliant radiance of emeralds.

I have realised He for whom I have longed
My life has borne fruit today.
I am lost in a stream of melody
drowned in ecstatic waves of total surrender
transported beyond the ocean of forms.

I am merged in this Supreme madness.
My mind freed from the cycles of life and death
knows no bounds.

Why chariots of destruction run,

Why dark invades the light,
what cause behind this childish play,

Why have You mended mute mouths
that they may glibly debate,
why have You crazed us with Your science
and thereby shadowed Your own existence
with our worldly ways.

don't fool us with Your colourful games

On a raindrenched night
at a lonely site,
my friend deserted me.

What did that lightning flash portend
amidst such heavy rains?
The pearl necklace is gone;
my friend has deserted me.

My heart has been wrung
to its very core.
What consternation!
He has gone.

Thunder flickers on my eyelids;
it is a sign,
but I cannot fathom His design.
Ah, frustration!
He has gone,
devastating my life
and I yearn for His return.

Day and night
my lonely mind pines
for Him.
He has gone
and I yearn for His return.

All nature's creatures sleep at night.
Why does shiuli stay awake?
Mother, kindly tell me why.

All other flowers play by day
laughing and dancing in fragrant array
while around them black bees busily buzz
collecting their hidden delights.

I love too the day
as the flowers do
and so I know them well.
I know them all
so very well,
their colours and sweet smells.

The flowers and the puppies, all,
the black bees and the myna birds,
lay down their heads in sweet repose
during the dark of night.
Shiuli alone defies dusk's call
and proudly proclaims her special role,
"Look I am still awake!"

Kindly tell me mother why
shiuli's special ways?
Out of love for whom
she serenades the night
and shuns the light of day?

Listen close, my darling child
why shiuli loves the night.
She feels so shy in the light of day
and hides away her face.
Shiuli's precious petals fall
at the break of every dawn,
when You, my sweetest little one,
from deepest sleep awake.

Dawn's crimson rays
illuminate my eternal longing,
and I pour out songs
from the core of my being
for love
of the everblissful one.

The rosered sky radiates His presence.
The gentle breeze wafts His sweetness
through the expanses of my mind
as I contemplate
the formless one.

I have surrendered all.
My heart overflows with joy.
Exalted on the strains of His sacred song
my ecstatic mind merges into
the Infinite one.

Mind gets despondent.
Tell me, Lord, why this kind of dispensation?
Why did You create this world?

Do You believe the afflicted dance
while crying in the scorching heat
of excruciating pain?

Do You think they long to survive while dying a living death?

I cannot comprehend why the multitudes still depend on You.
Is is so difficult for You, Lord,

to remove their sorrows
and fill their hearts with joy?

What do the black bees wish to convey?

At the peak of the rains torrential downs
the thunder boom its deephorn sound,
and lightning flashes momentarily thrill, for whom?
Who makes my heart dance with the tunes of His flute?

O beautiful Lord of beauteous forms,
smeared with compassion
and adorned with sweet love,
appear before me today.

O formless Lord
for whom do You wait anxiously
in this temple of forms?

You entangle us in illusory love
for that which will not last long.
For these forms must merge
in Your formlessness
through Your grace.

Why did You so sportingly create
this colourful ephemeral world?
Its movement has its place, no doubt,
in Your circular imaginative flow.

Yet why did You choose to delude our minds
who must ultimately merge in You.
Why did You create this temple of forms,
and for whom do You anxiously wait?

Inert humanity has awakened today.
Expression has come to its dumb mouth.
Beacons of light enliven it
and cast away dark staticity.

No looking back.
The eastern sky explodes into brilliant light
and births myriad flowers on the beaming earth.

Consciousness dawns in human minds
and the hypnotic spells of lethargy
of apathy, of souldestroying vacuity,
have vanished out of sight.

with the golden autumn moon,
bearing smiling sweet sephali blooms
and white endless floating clouds.

Laughing billowing waves of hilarious joy
through the groves of fresh "kash" grass.
Swaying vibrant rhythm in the depths of hearts
flashing joy in graceful dance,
You steal away the love from all
with Your most endearing glance.

Your rosy feet are incomparable,
Your gospels bathed in dew.
Your nectarial flow
and fragrant perfumes
bring tidings from celestial realms.

for You, O heartless Lord.

I felt not to take Your name
nor ask Your grace,
but I discovered
that the world and all her life
exist because of You.

All expression starts in Your mind,
all creation moves in You.
So I take Your name,
I ask emancipation from You.

You have made me aware
that You are my nearest one.
So I constantly contemplate Your holy name,
and I yearn to attain only You.

My longing remains bathed in ceaseless waves of tears,
longing hidden secretly in the depths of my mind.

My heart is broken, my mouth dumb.
I have cried and cried for You,
mind's dearest jewel
who disappeared one dark dreary night.

I have suffered unutterable pain,
shedding streams of copious tears.
Let me forget You.
Don't reappear, You,
who have forskaen me.

But alas, I cannot forget You.
I think of You again and again.
I try in vain to remove You from my mind.
Why don't You come
to replace the pangs of this loss
with the ecstatic joy of attainment.

____________________________

Bathed in ceaseless waves of tears

who disappeared
on a dark and dismal night.

I suffer unutterable pain
shedding silent streams of tears.
Let me forget You!
Don't reappear,
You who have forsaken me once.

But,
alas,
I cannot forget You.
I think of You
again and again
though I try in vain
to remove You from my mind.

Why don't You come?
Why don't You please
replace the pangs of this loss
with ecstatic joy
of attainment.

Do You not want to know?

You, rarest jewel of the seabed;

Your heart comes not within my reach.
Diving deep into the ocean of form,
I will certainly realise You,
jewellike formless one.

Floating in the limitless reaches of mind,
I will certainly attain You,
O distant star.
You shall one day come within my reach.
The sadhana of my entire life will be fruitful.

The ocean of beauteous forms is approachable.
My heart's sky is filled with Your existence.
That's why You have willingly deluded my grasp,
You can no longer make me forgetful;
You can delude me no more.

I approach
the ocean of beauteous forms,
heart's sky alive
with Your presence,
and yet
You elude me still.

O Lord, remove my forgetfulness,
delude me no more!

Your advent is a flash of lightening,
like the radiance of a million jewels.

In my heart You smile
with the brilliance of innumerable hearts.
You fill the earth with the fragrance of flowers
and make me lose my identity in rapturous melody.

In a sweet honeyed flow of compassion,
You make me forget all sorrows and pains.
My life dances like a flowing fountain.
You intoxicate me with Your indescribable beauty.

You began to love me suddenly
without knowing anything of me.
You dispel the Cimmerian darkness with superb force.

Who are You who came into my life

The peacock of my mind

My mind rushes to a distant horizon,

I cannot ignore that call.
What a great consternation!

dissolving crude bonds in infinitude.

All beauty is Your beauty.

You poured sweetness into creation
which incarnated as Your forms.

Before You, neither was there bha'va

There was neither existence nor nonexistence.

There was neither microcosm nor even this vast cosmos.
There was neither day nor night.

Lives have past in expectation of Your advent,
yet none of my hopes have been realised.

None have come whom I longed for.
They have thronged in my mind
whom I never called.

All love, appearances and passings have drifted
on causing a rift between the present and the past.

While walking in the flower garden,
thorns pricked my feet.
In the whirl wind,
I savoured/sensed a sweet southern breeze.

My hopes are illusive mirages.
Only Your two rosy feet remain
as the last refuge
of my despondent heart.

Golden lotus, I want You to remain
entrenched in my heart
and make everything glitter.

Don't remain far from me.
Stay in my heart in rhythm and melody.

Sweet lotus, exude proudly Your sweet fragrance,
manifest Yourself more.

I feel I have known You,
but I am not sure of it.
You are so close, yet You elude me.

It seems I have attained You,
yet I am not sure of it.
You are so sportive,
You, so very pure, so immaculate.

You are like the golden lotus of my mind.

Come closer still and sit by me.

I beseech You to play Your flute
in dance and rhythm.

I have listened for Your foot fall,
I have waited anxiously night and day

At last You have come in spring
with Your gentle smile
dispelling all my afflictions.

The breeze blows a sweet, silent whisper.
My heart is intoxicated in vibrant contemplation.

You have come today
O Lord of the universe.
Your blissful touch

Amidst attainments days pass away in fruitless action.
Sometimes I attain something, sometimes I don't.

Sometimes I feel happy and sometimes sad.

Black bees buzz around the flowers
in expectant anticipation.
You are the dearest of all.
You remain in the inner most heart hidden,
unknown to all.

We fail to seek You within,
but look for You outside,
just like the musk deer search for their own fragrance.

We blindly move around those
who won't stay here long,
expecting something permanent.

Destroy my illusion.
Take me closer to You.
Draw me to You and keep me close.

He has come in eloquent joyintoxicating dance
and sweet exuberant delight
to win the hearts of all.

The beauteous forms of the formless Lord
overflow all limitations of forms.

how just His very name
brings waves of nectarial bliss to this earth.

How long shall we yearn for You?
Is there no end to our anxious expectation of Your advent?

Buffeted by waves of illusion and delusion,

We lie strewn like fallen flowers.
We know not what the future holds.
We have wasted our time running after mirages.
We have pursued the ephemeral.

Catch hold of my hand and turn me around.
Don't allow me to be misguided by the spell of delusion.

the river descends,
playing its eternal game
of building and unbuilding,
flowing endlessly on.

It moves forever forward,
babbling on.
It stops not at any obstacle;
it heeds not day or night.
Its movement is dance,
its language incessant song.

Mingling into the surging waves
of universal life,
it becomes a vast ocean.

In a flower garden a black bee buzzes,
whispering something.
She desires only the flowers' nectar,
shunning all else.
She sucks nectar to its lees,
that treasure secluded with utmost care, secretly,
in the inner most recesses of floral buds.

She has exposed herself,
thief of the pollen's sweet fragrance,
fragrance which has vanished
along with its rich nectarial source.

She has coated herself in thick fragrant pollen
and, thus adorned, announces the news to all.

Words unexpressed retreat into mental oblivion.

Night has descended.

You are as tender as a lotus flower
and as severe as a thunder bolt.
I have understood this supreme truth.

You are fragrant with
sandle paste of the Malaya mountain.
You are more attractive than the garden of paradise.
I have beheld this beautiful sight.

Reflected in the dark water of evening,
golden light shimmers.
Reflected in our minds,
in hearts laden with agony and pain,
Your stream of nectar dances.

When You are refelcted in meditation,
all the three worlds dance in rhythm
intoxicated with Your melody.
I have realised this truth.

No thought is equal to the thought of You.
You are Supreme,
above all else in beauty and majesty.

I have accepted this Supreme Truth.

Come and stay always in my living memory.
Let there be honey in the flower bud of my mind.
With that floral nectar I will please You.

Don't forget Your divine songs O Lord.
You songs are like thunderbolts
in storms and tempests.

Let there be,
fragrant pollen always
evernew in the flower's heart.

________________________

With the southern breeze
with the fragrance of flowers
who is the entity
who smiles in my mind?

In floral pollen
with love and attachment
His image emerges
in every action.

O Lord
do not forget
to come to my abode.
Come, stay always with me
remain ever vibrant in my memory.

Let ambrosia overflow
in the flower bud of mind.
With that delectable wine
shall I give You joy.

Sing ever, Lord, Your songs divine
like thunder resounding
in tempests wild.
Let Your sweet nectar
eternally renew
in every flower heart.

On the blue sea a golden lotus bloomed.
No one knew.

Its scarlet petals remained untouched.
Full of vivacity,
its vital golden pollen
exuded delectable floral nectar.
And yet, no black bees approached
to hover lightly
and savour her bounty.

A colourful fairy from the land of clouds
was enamoured of the beauty of the lotus.
Clutching the golden lotus to her heart
away she flew.

Nobody knew, no one paid heed to it.

The Lord who steals vanity
never tolerates anyone's vanity.
If one is proud and vain,
one is bound to be defeated.

Two princes set out
to capture the thief of the golden lotus.
They hoped to be victorious.
They surrounded the blue sea
with boats, ferries, sampans
and all variety of local craft.

They were sure of catching the flower stealer
and exposing the fairy's evil tricks.

But their minds and hearts were full of vanity.
They were not aware
that God was mysteriously smiling at their vanity.

The fairy carried magic arrows,
and managed to steal away the flower
without the least fear.

The Divine Thief of vanity
tolerates not arrogance and pride.
For the vain
defeat is preordained.

Two proud princes
in hope of victors' glory
set out to capture
the lotus thief.

With boats and ferries
and a host of craft
they openly surrounded the shining Blue Sea.

They were egotistically sure
of ensnaring their prey
and exposing her cunning ways.

But God was intent on foiling their pride.
The clever fairy
armed with magic spears
outwitted the princely team.

She succeeded, the coveted bloom to steal
without the least inkling of fear.

Sleep, drowsiness, anger, lethargy,
procrastination and fear are the six enemies
of human kind, powerful vices.

Even great personalities may be degraded by these,
what to speak of common people.

The princes after being outwitted by the fairy
set out to an unknown destination.

They began to search for a magic horse
without which it was impossible to catch the fairy.
Inflated with royal vanity,
they didn't heed the needs of suffering human beings.
They couldn't win the love of their hearts.

They lost their common sense due to the spell of vanity.
They lost their intellect,

and were finally tricked into defeat in their quest,
and they became captives of the demon.

They languished away in a dark prison cell.

Due to honesty, simplicity and spiritedness,
ordinary human beings become extra ordinary.

The Youngest prince was graced with these qualities.
He too set out to catch the fairy.

He went to the Blue Sea
and set up evervigilant sentries
around the lotus grove.

He spent a sleepless night,
watching over the blooming flower.
At the end of the night,
the fairy came,
nervously plucked the lotus
and flew away.

To catch the fairy, that magic horse was needed.
The Young prince moved heaven and earth
in search of that magic horse.

Finally He came to the land of the demon
and discovered the horse.

He captured that capricious creature
with the love of all the needy folk
whose hearts He had won.

Due to the righteous auspicious wish of his own
and righteous intelligence,
the dishonest demon finally admitted
that human beings
are not inferior to demons in valour.

____________________________

Honesty, simplicity and dynamicity
make ordinary humans extra ordinary,
and the Youngest prince was thus was graced.

He too undertook
the flower thief to catch.

On the Blue Sea
around the lotus grove
he posted vigilant sentries.

A sleepless night He spent
guarding the precious bloom,
but alas,
in the early morn
the clever fairy
stole his charge
and away she flew.

He needed the magic horse
the fairy thief to catch
and He moved heaven and earth
in his search.

At last, in the demon's land
he discovered the capricious steed,
and with the special help
of the needy folk
whose hearts, through service, He had won
he captured it.

The demon succumbed
and from the depths of his own righteous heart
acknowledged the strength and valour
of his human kin.

In the dreamland of the blue sea,
the golden lotus has bloomed again.
The waters of the Blue Sea vibrate with joy.
Under the spell of heartfelt joy,
it smiles its sweetest smile.

In the moonlight full of the fragrance of the lotus,
the breeze floats along to an unknown destination

to search out and convey the news to hearts lost in that aroma.

The fairy, in her mysterious, sportive way,
approaches in spiraling movements
to pluck the lotus.

The Young prince sits on the magic horse.
The fairy finally descends on the lotus.
and clutching the flower,
she flies away.

The prince chases the fairy.
The fairy, almost overpowered,
now trembles in fear
and frantically flaps her wings
to apologise repeatedly for her mistake.

The prince states firmly
that such an act is unacceptable.
The prince points out
that God cannot be worshiped with a stolen flower.

Do honest deeds,
follow the honest path, he commends.

______________________________

In the pleasing waters
of the blue sea of dreams
a golden lotus blooms.

The ocean currents joyously vibrate
and the lotus,
in a trance of delight
smiles its sweetest smile.

In the full moon light
her fragrance floats
wistfully
far and wide
to conveys the news of her blossoming
to aromaintoxicated hearts.

The fairy
in her mysterious play
descends to pluck the bloom.

The Young prince
upon his magic steed
vigilant
in hiding awaits.

When the fairy escapes
with the golden flower
clutched tightly to her breast
he gives victorious chase.

She shivers her wings
and trembles in fear
and begs forgiveness for her deed.

The prince admonishes
and makes it clear
that with a stolen bloom
one cannot worship God.

Do noble deeds
and follow an honest path
he commends.

In spring we play with colour, not with fire.
We extinguish the fires of mind.

In the stillness of night we move silently,
to exude aroma in the flower garden.

Imperceptibly, I remain inextricably associated
with floral nectar,
with each atom of light and shade.

I fill every heart with love every moment.
I pour forth streams of nectar in the moonlight
and in the smiles of children.
I never forget to do it.
I never deceive anybody.

A fairy entered the flower garden to sip floral nectar.
It flew in on the intoxicating breeze

while spreading its golden wings in the charming sky.

All the flowers peep out and say.
"Our nectar is not very tasty.
Some is bitter,
some sour,
some astringent,
some very repulsive to the tongue."

While selecting, the intelligent fairy
plucked only the sweet flowers
into its basket.

The fairy did not slight any flower.
It gave equal affection to one and all.
It went to the distant sky while touching lightly
even those flowers whose nectar it didn't take.

She glided in on an intoxicating breeze
with golden wings outspread in the charming sky.

All the blossoms appeared and openly cried,
"Our nectar may not all be sweet;
some is bitter, some sour, some astringent
and repulsive to the tongue."

The fairy chose only the sweetest blooms
and gathered/dropped them into her basket,
she did not, however, slight any bloom
and gave equal affection to all.

While departing towards the distant sky
she caressed even those blooms
whose nectar she had not taken.

Today its flowers wither
its petals hang limp in sorrow.

You have hidden Yourself in my mind.
I cannot find You.

Unbeknown,
You are inseparably associated with all.
You are enthroned in every heart,
in the charming spring,
in the fragrance of flowers.
Your overflowing sweetness
drifts to the distant blue void.

In the sapphire Sindh river,
in the radiance of a vermillion mark,
in the whiteness of milk
and the sparkling white of the snow,
where do You not exist?

O Infinite Lord,
You never come within the reach of individuals
because once You come within our reach
You have made Yourself finite.

If we want to catch You we are to merge in You.
Then we finite entities become infinite.
You are one, yet You are in the minds of all
in various forms.
We sing Your glory.

You stay beyond our reach
for once coming therein
You become finite

We sing Your praise.

In dawn's crimson radiance
I encountered You.
At life's dusk
I came to know You.

I had coloured You
with shades of my finiteness.
You appeared in my mind
countless times;
I feigned ignorance
and groped for You
foolishly
elsewhere.

My lovewoven garland
has withered,
and I, a pauper,
at life's twilight
offer You my feeble love,
dried in arid sands.

You have danced in my heart
enticingly
yet I listened not to her song.
My wellrehearsed tunes
remain unsung.

Now I surrender unto You
laying mute offerings
at the altar of the indescribable.

O unbearable pain!

I run in search of my Lord.
The pitiful cries of my pining heart
torment me

The blossoms of my mind
lie torn
entangled in thorns,
and I search for eyes in the dark night
to mark with delusion's line.

Mind rushes to be always near,

love him
whose beauteous forms inundate the earth.

His radiance dispels the dark.
And yet, I fear to be near,
my heart shivers in sweet trepidation.

What kind of love is this?
How many days
how many sleepless nights
have passed
in expectation of Your advent?

The fragrance of countless unnamed blossoms
has faded
into dewdrenched oblivion;
in the evening's mystic radiance
they withered/fall
in utter neglect.

You ignore my love,
You destroy my dreams,
with what mad obsession?

O, heartless one,
You ensnare me still
with magic floral bonds.

I try to forget You,
but I can't,
and I am destined
to pace lonely nights ka'na pati,
to give an ear to,
I am ever attentive
in expectation of Your gentle step.

The Lord of aloka (the realm of light)
has descended
smeared with heavenly pollen
churning the ocean of effulgence
pouring ambrosial nectar onto earth.

Sleeping creatures awaken
when the darkened sky
breaks into brilliant crimson light.
The three worlds dance
in blissful rhythm and delight.

From their wretchedness
the living
have regained consciousness
and speechless humanity
proclaims her eloquence.

The heart
intoxicated with joy
sings out in myriad melodies
in sweet ideational waves.

The lost Supreme Treasure
has returned to my eyes.

The heart
which had drifted apart,
despondent in its separation,
has slowly and silently
regained its original composure.

Those who taste samadhi
in the shady bokul grove,
their hearts overflood
with the sweet recollection of His love.

Let us too move
towards that absorbing realm
transported by cosmic memories.

Let us move silently
with gentle steps
lest we disturb
with worldly movements
their deep spiritual slumber.

The game of hide and seek,
You know, Lord, how to play.

You know how to make people dance
with Your capricious ways.

You know how to flood effulgence
into the deep dark night.

You know how to bring darkness
even in the shining day.

You know how to make eloquent
a voice that cannot talk.

You know how to share laughter's joy
and strum the lyre of life.

With Your grace
the world is colourful;
Your inscrutable game
engages all
in maya's hypnotic spell.

And You alone, Lord, know well how
to tear asunder illusion's veil
and grant emancipation.

in exchange for all.

Yet, I, come to You
with my love
in cupped hands,
and You offer me Your all.

Come, dear Lord, in the lotus of my heart.
You promised to return
but for nights on end
You linger far.

Garlands have been laid aside.
I neglect to tie them in my hair
and to my weary eyes
the beauty of the world grows dim.

You have stolen the beauty.
O mind stealer,
I am devoid of Your song.

Around my desert heart
not a single note
not a harmony/melody
is struck.

All have passed beyond the range of my ear
and I am stranded
in a deep dark spell.

Once there lived a fairy tale king
who knew not how to smile.

He walked on his hands
ate puffed rice with his toes
and openly snacked
on delicious cakes
with his back to the midnight sun.

He chewed cane with his tongue
sucked its juice with his teeth
and cast his net
in the tennis court
to capture succulent fish.

In the light of midday
underwater He would hide
in fear of ghastly ghosts,
and racing speed boats
to distant skies He would fly
for a breath of pleasant air.

While others worked hard
he would close his eyes
and very contentedly snore.

awakens with Your touch;
and in Your sport,
the bountiful earth
dances
in beauteous and colourful array.

Smash these bars of ignorance,

wafts consciousness
into the world
and sweet vibrations
rippling ceaselessly
merge into

lining both banks of my heart.

You have coloured mind's black bee

appeared my Lord
traversing the sky ways
on a chariot of the golden sun.

All was silent.
There was none
with whom to speak
with whom to engage in heartfelt exchange
upon this dusty earth.

In the crimson dawn
with love of life
exuding profusely
from the fragrant pollen of the heart
He came
at the first awakening
of my life.

in the eastern sky
earth's cimmerian darkness was dispelled.

In Your radiant light
sweet loti and lilies bloomed;
the raucous laughter of the dark
was removed.

Desert thirst was quenched
and verdant beauty overflowed.

Atoms and molecules
vibrated
in Your soft bosom of light
and history began to unfold.

In the blue void
a universe
expressed and unexpressed
exploded.

All creatures chant the mantra
of One,
the Supreme,
and clinging to His feet
they gyrate
in rhythmic dance
towards their Source.

The black bee
of the forest of my mind
seeks only
the floral nectar of the Supreme.

He, the treasure casket of my lost heart
remains above the domain
of attainment and loss.

It knows not why
it seeks Him so.

He whose mysterious smile
sends inexplicable tremors
throughout my being.

I cannot describe
and turn away my eyes
in shyness.

What indescribable sweetness
emanates
from His most beauteous form?

Dearest Lord
I am seeking You
along lonely roads
yet You elude me still
like the musk deer's
mysterious smell.

You are so near.
On dark moon nights
under moonless skies
along known paths
or lost desert ways,
You are near.

Yet I seek You
mistakenly chasing a mirage
while You
dearest
remain so near.

Light, light everywhere.
My world is filled with light.
Light streams in a hundred directions
in Your eternal nectarial flow.

Waters of gleaming light
cascade towards the sea
and the glittering waves
of the surging sea
dance free from bondage.

Mind's peacock prances
at the gathering of dark clouds
in the shimmering light of the sky.

The onestringed ekatara
rings out
in rapid rhythm
keeping pace with a resonance divine,
and with such undivided mind
shall I realise
Your onelined melody.

You, who awaken me

I was not aware
that He belongs to me
and me alone.

He attuned me
with utmost care
to melodies divine.

He was so near,
so very near
in rhythmic streams
of dance and song
which issued from the sweetness of my mind,
yet I was not informed,
I did not know before.

Now that He has gone,
I am alone
and in consuming pangs

I understand
how deeply
He had filled me with His love
with hope, with aspiration.

I understand these now,

out of Your own unbounded grace.

superbly decorated
and lit with/lighted by a burning lamp.

In a hundred ways
my mind's sweet love
embraces You
and my longing heart
extends to You
an ovation royal.

No dark will ever touch
this, Your personal abode,
no shyness can destroy
its splendid floral bowers,
and the flame of the lamp
burns silently
for You alone.

My mind's sweet love
prances lithely
enticingly plays
in beautiful dreams
like timid forest deer.

My inner heart soars
to limitless domains
and my tears fall ceaselessly
to bathe Your lotus feet..

when You stayed by my side.

A garland of love
I offered
at the altar of love
with mogra and magnolia
in exuberant bloom,

but You chose to leave
to a distant land
and their petals
wither now.

The light of dawn still scintillates
in my lovefilled mind.
Yet each day
from her neglected blooms
parched pollen
sorrowfully falls.

You have entwined Yourself in my heart
filling it with honey's sweet delight.

I see You and You alone.

spread far and wide,
throughout the skies,
their fragrance unchecked.

In the distant void
they float along
crying.
What do You want of my tears?

Pray tell me
for whom do You wait
on this lonely shore.

I row my boat of forms
on the ocean of formlessness,
forgetting none.
Moving on is my eternal wont.

No one can fathom
this rowing of boats
on the stream of time
from beginninglessness to endlessness;
neither philosophy nor science
can trace
its starting or culminating point.
I never pause.

After a day's hard labour
comes fatigue.
All return to their respective abodes.

The tired traveler comes to the bank
in expectation of a boat.
I am ever ready with the boat.
I never delay;
I'm never late.

I feel
a fresh new breeze,
a new atmosphere
decorated with new colour,
enlivened with new touch
tinged with new red hue.

Tell me, O tell me please,
has my Lord surely come or not?

On the hills,
in the glades,
a festival of flowers.

My time passes in ecstatic joyous dance.
My mind refuses to return home.

I wonder
who is this magician who has appeared.

I have tied my hair bun with woodapple
and swing earrings of fresh kalkey blooms.

With Him alone I'll go home today.
Without Him I'll not return.

My mind alone
knows what inner afflictions
lie secret, covered (coveted?) within.

Only in seclusion shall I sing them out,
if at all I wish them exposed.

In a crowd, whatever I sing
is not of my innermost heart.

In seclusion
only we two
listen to what is expressed.

The language of the heart is conveyed
to a heart alone,
it is not audible from without.
You exist and I exist;
there is no one else in this world.

In the rain night You came
with thunderous roar
inundating the world in torrential flows.

Mountain high piles of dirt and dross
no longer could stand Your tide.

Whither are those
who blackened the light of this earth,
who created walls of separation amongst human beings,
who battered tender hearts.

They polluted the fresh breeze with sin,
but now they have vanished.

Night follows day
just as sorrows follow joy.
Your play of love and loss
is ceaseless.

I move on
in rhythmic song and dance,
in harmony with Your cadence.

Suddenly my steps miss a pace
and I slip behind.
O swift moving one,
I try to gather momentum
and move anew.

I pass my days of mirth
in the midst of radiant joy
then, suddenly, darkness descends;
I am overwhelmed
and cry in pain.

O Lord, You come
to wipe away my tears with love
and make my life effulgent.

The messenger of light arrives
dispelling the dark;
lethargic bonds are shattered
and prison walls succumb.

The inertness of a hundred eons
has vanished.

Clouds disappear
and light, forthwith,
spreads everywhere.

Those of You who are far
come nearer to Him;
remove the bondage of distance.

Come nearer still;
come, in a mirthful current of joy.

beside sparkling fountains and streams.

We play and play the whole day long
with the flowers kadam and palash.

We play along the narrow lanes
lined with shady mOua trees.

Meandering on the forest paths
we weave garlands into our hair.

The forest deer rejoice to see
our blissful song and dance.

We are the blessed girls of the land of liberation.
We are the blessed girls of God.

Neither You allowed me to go

Lord, this morning You came
in rhythmic steps
at the time of my visit to the forest.

As I was on my way
You came,
swooping down like a hawk,
catching hold of my hand.

The garland around my hair knot snapped,
my basket of kadamba flowers fell down.

Why do You come
without notice, uninformed?
Why, to show me the path which I already know?

With the magic of Your melody
my mind is intoxicated;
with the rhythmic cadence of Your dance
my mind is overjoyed.

Why do You lavish Your love on me?
I don't call You,
but You come
to flood me with joy.

What is this?
I see palmira fruits on sal trees
and incense resin on the trees of pal.

Has the Lord alighted on earth
from his original heavenly abode?
Whose penance has brought it about?

The Lord has assumed such a beauteous form.
I am speechless and simply stare at him.
I look and look on.

I can no longer bear my afflictions
yet I cannot bring him within my life.
I fear none;
I feel shy of no one.
I simply love him because He loves me.

My life dances in rhythmic ecstasy.
My monostringed chord plays a rapturous melody.
I will not return home.
I will move on to the forest.
I will stay with him alone.

With the stars I stay awake all night.
Gusty winds swish around
dashing me, at times, against the palash trees.

I like to fly alone
but alas I cannot.

Others have deserted me.
I look up to the sky,
to the shining stars.
I feel new light in life.

Drums beat all around.
People are dressed in gay apparel.
I want to laugh at Your showy dress.
Why do You forget all things?

Neither You allow me to go near You
nor do You allow me to go far.
Tell me, then, where I can go?

O Lord You are my only shelter now,
You in the eastern morning sky.

Let us all move together, live together.
We do not fear anyone.

When brothers fall apart, strength is undermined.
When sisters also fall apart, families lose happiness.

We will all live together,

not far from me.

Whichever way I look,
in all my actions great undertakings,
I see You there.

Whichever way I look
under the impulse of my overflowing vitality,
I see Your form, and no other form.

Come in my heart,
O Formless One.
Come in ever new forms
in dance and song.

You have equal love for all.
You work for all.
You take Your seat in every heart.
You fill all lives with sweetness.

You are like the festival of lights
in the deep dark night.
You come like streams of splashing water
in the scalding summer heat.

You liberate many with Your unconditional grace.
You enter the minds of all and see them.
You never stop before any obstacle.

You steer the boat even through surging seas.
You open the eyes of all
with the collyrium of knowledge.

I observe Your sports, O Lord,
behind which You stand apart.

You bring the darkness of night,
and the festival of stars.

You delight our hearts
with the moon effusive smile
and give the grueling heat of a summer's midday.

You bring excruciating pain
and the refreshing fragrance of bela and juin.

You offer a multifloral garland of glorious hues
and a garden full of thorns
where it's difficult to walk,
then You bring roses in the morn.

How do You play so many sports alone?

With the fragrance of flowers
and the smile of life,
all mental afflictions were removed.

The accumulated reactions,
good and bad,
of countless lives,
all vanished in a flash.

I have become Yours,
forgetting the past.
Only You exist
and I remain.

I attain You in exchange for my all.
By Your grace,
my attachments and infatuations are dispelled.
All my longings are now fulfilled.

with sleepless tearful eyes.

Now out of boundless grace

You have enkindled the lamp of my life

Verdant beauty returns to an arid desert.

My shattered heart,
at Your tender touch,

Action is our survival.

We return carrying logs.

Communities of honey bees
dwell in these groves.
The atmosphere is charged with joy
and whirls in a stormy dance.

Folk may speak against us
but we never lose our identity;
we always live in joy.

We have a deep affinity with the flowers.
We love them
and their pleasant peaceful environment
fills us with delight.

We are afraid of none.
We shy away from none.
We simply love all
and live close to God.

My Lord came

Why didn't He remain seated there?

Morning and evening
on my way to the pond
I always look for Him.
He has made me His own.

In all my duties,
in the house,
on the farm,
I think of Him
and Him alone.

He has taken my everything.
Now I will sit
to meditate
to bring Him within my life,
whether He graces me to stay or no.

Now I will tell Him
my tales of woe,
whether He bothers to listen or not.

In the forest there are countless kadamba flowers.
There are skupine (keya')
and night jasmine (shiuli) flowers.
There are also the bakul flowers.

We'll tie our hair buns with garlands
and also wear garland bangles
then we'll keep dancing around

and the sweet melody of our songs,
our Lord will not remain far away.

bathe His holy feet with our tears.

Alas, I have no more time.
I have no more time.

Who are You, coming to me,
O merciful Lord,
at this late hour of my life?

The bakul flowers of my mind have dropped off.
The shefali flowers have fallen down.
The lamp of my mind on the lamp stand
is almost extinguished.

How do You come,
O merciful Lord,
so late in my life?

My friends have departed.
All the love of my life has also disappeared.
The blossoms of my hope have all withered.

Yet who are You, coming so late
with Your gentle smile
and sit beside me at this late hour?
O Lord of my mind!

I have threaded a garland
with those flowers
with which You have filled my flower basket.

The smile You have dropped on my heart
has removed all my sorrows.

All my hopes are centered around You,
all my expressions
want to express Your glory.
All my actions,
all my adornments
are all centered around Your sweet ideation.

There is sweet nectar
in the inner most cavity of my mind.
The pollens of my life are mixed with that nectar.

I have given my all,
in a basket decorated with all care.
I have kept nothing with me.

O Lord!
Why do You not come during the daylight,
but instead during the darkness of night?
You are not seen during happy days
but extend love during nights of pain.

When stars shine in the sky
and the environment is rich,
then we do not get glimpses of You.
Only after we lose everything,
You offer consolation.

When the enchanting breeze of autumn,
awakens pleasing sensations,
we do not find You close.
You bring soothing coolness
only with intense heat.

O Lord,
at the end of the day,
from the arena of sleep,
into the illuminated courtyard,
You silently gave a close touch to all.

When no light was there,
only You existed.
There was neither good nor bad.
You remained alert all by Yourself.

The same Lord of the past
is still present now
and will be for all the time to come.

Piercing through the bosom of darkness and eliminating it,
You alone are observed.

All salutations are directed towards You only.

Beyond speech and thought,
You continue moving on Your own path.

In the cimmerian darkness
You remained alone, ever alert.
No one else knows my pain

no one but You entered my heart.
My melody was full of pain;
my song filled with sorrowful memories.

That melody and song vanished silently.
Today I sing my song anew in melodies of hopes.

Laughter, crying

come all under the influence of that game.

You deprive people

lie hidden

For one and all,
You never cease
to both smile and cry.

I have forgotten my agony
and the count of time.

The flowers of those days
withered away.
Even their name and form got lost.

Due to the long lapse of time
the stars have set.

My heart was overflowing
and full of sweet fragrance.
But at that time,
You did not come.
You came instead
when the seat of my heart was vacant.

Your limitless divine game?

You are present in all forms
and yet remain formless.
You are within all

You exist in the deep blue seawater,

Whatever I see or do not see,
everything lies embedded in Your mind.

The impermeable mountains,
the cycle of all seasons,
whatever I can think or cannot conceive of
You hold all that.

You resonate sweetly.
O my embodiment of effulgence!

You engendered the colours of rainbows.

You provided beauty and colours
to flowers, incense and bees.

O Lord, let that sweetness never dry out,

My offerings to You
took shape in hundreds of mantras

recited in hundreds of ways.
You accepted them all.

Nobody else do I have in the world,

All my eager solicitations and love

come!

quench my thirst.

where have You gone to?
In spite of repeated search
I am unable to find You.

You went far away and gave me pain;
I will never forget this incidence.

I searched for You
in the flow of rivers,
in hills and hillocks,
and became tired of wandering about
in the shades of pala'sh groves.

I called You repeatedly to come,
to come back home.
And due to cries,
I almost died.

Perhaps I had no luck,
or insufficient eagerness,
and therefore had no choice
but to look at You.

There is a festival of colours on the mountain,
our minds are dancing and swinging.

Let us all go together
to pick and bring home flowers.

Swiftly crossing the thin path of the cotton forest,
running over barren fields,

traversing pastures,
avoiding narrow, delusive banks,
wearing flowers on the chignon,
we shall march straight towards what we cherish.

There is no end to our journey,
movement is life.
With joyful minds,
we go on dancing and singing.

If we do not get flowers,
our minds become restless.
Hence, wherever we go,
we carry flowers with us.

I have lost my way on this forest path.
I nevertheless hope to see You.

I have forgotten the days.
Day and night,
I keep with me only one expectation.

In my mental forest,
a strong wind swings.
Other than You,
no one else do I have as my own.

All my ideation within You bears only one same value:
that You come close, still closer,

and dance with effulgent strokes.

In an intoxicating dream,
within my psychic arena,
You became my most valuable diamond necklace.

All desires and repulsions
are engrossed in You
and, unknowingly, become unified.
Come close,
and take me from the arena of forms
to that of formlessness.

Your description never ends.
Whatever is told,
it is observed
that much is yet left out.

Your mark is found in the galaxies of distant skies
and also in each minute pore.

Your messages,
I am unable to understand.
Hence, with folded palms,
I silently keep weeping.

The deep dungeon of hell, sweetly absorbed incense,
the inkling of lyrestrings,
intoxicating moonlit nights,
numerous events and agonies

all that remains silent for eternity.

Why do You not love those
who love You,
and who wish to attain You?

In dark nights and bright mornings,
why do You remain dumb?

On that heavenly path,
through light and shade,
bunches of flowers are shaken
and many hundredpetal lotuses wither away.
For the benefit of all
and for loving all,
why don't You let Yourself be attained?
Why do You maintain dislike?

With silent feet,
in numerous colours,
buds look up with hope.

There should not be anything wrong
with trying to move on the proper path.

Remaining silent,
in the calm arena of effulgence,
what is it
that You play on Your lyre?

The time of laziness has gone.
Effulgence has appeared in the core of my heart.

The ocean of vitality has broken down all barriers.

I see You as my only love.

Please come onto my sweet hundredpetal lotus.

O You,
who came pouring out sweetness,
on each particle of my being!

By Your sweet and affectionate smile
You made me forget all pains.

You made me forget
who is mine and who is not.

You made outside and inside same.

Into each nook and corner of the world,
You spread the impulse of heart.
Discrimination, exploitation and injustice
should not remain in this world any longer.

You filled the pot of life with drops of nectar.

O who is there in the pala'sh grove?

At a glance it appears
that I recognise You.

You coloured the recess of my mind,
but why do You remain afar?

Today in my floral garden,
a southern wind is blowing.

All my wants have been wiped away.

Now, I move forward,
along the tide of joy,
dancing around You.

The entire world is filled with Your beauty.
You illuminated all hearts.
You poured nectar into all minds.

By thinking of You,
my eyes become blissfully filled with tears.

O Lord, why are You so far away?
Please come closer.

Why have You bound me
with the restrictive bondage of distance,
maintain Yourself aloof with rhythmic dance,
and induce separation by lightning?

In the eastern sky
is a festival of colours.
Amidst it all,
Your enchanting song
brings memories of happiness.

In the spread of floral fragrance,
a sweet and gentle sandal breeze floats.
In the moonlit night,
Your loving smile beautifies my dream.

O Lord,
to decorate and to garland You,
after much effort,
I have brought home flowers.

The flowers
which I will thread my garland with
include:
kanak campa', dropped baul,
and, in between them, kadamba.

I have dancingly entered the forest,
decorating my hair with tresses.
My mind became absorbed in Your thought,
for You only, I arranged and filled my floral tray.

I returned back from the forest laughing,
with Your affectionate image in my vision.

When there was no one on this earth,
only You existed.
That is why, in meditation,
I adore You.

O Lord,
who are You of unknown name,
who came today without announcement.

You came singing,
absorbed in floral fragrance,
dancing with small rhythmic beats.

The hot and dry desert of my mind
became green after attaining You.
And by Your magic force
silence vanished.

After awaiting Him day and night,
He came today with unblinking eyes,
opening up the door of my heart.

O Lord!
You are the sweetness of my heart,
You are my intimate friend,
You are the gem of everyone's eyes.

By Your melody,
rhythmic sound is expressed
and encircles You.

Bypassing fractions of time
You remain ever awakened,
at the root of all existence.

You love all
and consider everyone Your own.
You pour out Your nectar unto all
during daylight
and during the darkness of night.

You pull everyone onto Your lap,
irrespective of the quantity of agony
that is undergone.

You are the essence of my life.

From the day I recognised You,
I have understood You to be my only support.

From that very day onwards,
and by Your touch,
You have granted new life to me.

On that day,
by the soft touch of Your hand,
when the lotus bud bloomed in the morning,
You pulled me unto Your effulgence
and bathed me in liberation.

I am preparing the altar to worship You on.

O my life's dearest companion,
by delaying Your arrival,
You float me into tears.

I am threading a garland with care and effort,
and am decorating the tray of flowers with all my heart.

With a soft smile,
that is beyond all desire and attainment,
come near and sit close to me.

I move my restless mind towards You
and with unperturbed sound,
keep thinking of You.

With colour
and love moist with fragrance,
with the essence of nectar,
I create my song.

I am alone in my house,

The bee is engrossed in buzzing,
taking Your ideation.
The stream dances on swiftly,
and does not recognise anything else
other than its destination, the ocean.

Lightning and thunder arise vibrantly,
aiming at penetrating into the core of the earth.
The clouds of the far distant sky
seek the sweet dust of the earth.

How much liila' (divine sport)
do You perform day and night?
You love that play very much.
That is why, from age to age, You return.

Let me become the playmate of Your choice.
You may wipe off (end) all Your games
but do not ignore me please.
Remain with me in evening time,
and make me forget the difference between us two.

Your love is immeasurable and unlimited.
Your grace is endless.

All I want
is the dust of Your feet,
with which You tread this earth.

O Lord,
having bolted the doors of my mind,
I was asleep until then,
even though the morning sun
had been peeping through my window.
My mind was filled
with the relativities of place and time.
My awareness of people
was based on the distinctions between them.

Never ever did I think of human existence.
Due to selfcentered sentiments
I had lost proper discrimination
and was intoxicated in dogma.

Forgetting the tranquility of pure thought,
my concentration remained restless.

O Lord,
when I saw You in the garden of campa',
I found honey covered under petals.

Why did He seem so unmindful?
My hopefilled eyes
had long been aspiring for Him in vain.
And after leaves had fallen,
I set my feet to rest.

Hearing a sound,
I wondered who had come.
My lamp of hope ignited
and became filled with sweetness.
I stepped forward slowly and with shyness.

I hoped that if by coincidence
He would look at me,
then fragrance might emerge
from the petals of flowers.

You did not sit on the seat of my heart.

I can no longer bear the torture
of searching You time and again.
Today, pour out Your flow of mercy,
and come close to me.

O Lord,
in which lightradiating bygone morning
did we see one another?
I am unable to know or remember it
whatever the circumstances be.

I was arrogant due to pride,
cultivating suppressed knowledge
and truncated intellect.

I did not bow down
due to shame and fear
that I may understand
and come to know You.

Even after intaking philosophy,
I did not attain You
but realised instead
that science had destroyed humanity.

In totally surrendered devotion
I finally found You in close contact.

O eternal companion,
by Your radiant beauty,
the earth became bathed in light.

Sleeping hearts were awakened
as You provided the gift of consciousness
to inert, inanimate beings.

Seated on the lotus altar of intuition,
You snatched away the threefold pains,
and filled life and blood
into those neglected and defamed.

When human beings forget the proper policy,
and indulge in destructive actions,
then ignite Your devastating fire
and bring about that most annihilating earthquake.

O Lord,
nobody knows
where You have been
and where You dwell.

Let those who long for You,
merge with You.

O unlimited one,
You do not come into anyone's fold.

The smile of the moon,
the sandal breeze,
the smiling flower,
the soft sky,
none of them are absolutely perfect.

O Infinite one,
You have no limitation.

Atoms are dancing
within the particles of mind.
At all times, You whistle Your flute.
Your effulgence remains immeasurable.

O Lord,
why do You remain silent
on this everresonating morning?
Share with me Your mental feelings.

Why do You keep Yourself away from one
who has offered his everything to You?

I have poured out the nectar of my life
into the blue sky of this moonlit night
and have turned deeply black
in the darkness of nights.

Over and above praise and eulogy,
I attuned my tune to Your melody.

You are the smile of my flower
and the enchanting flute of happy days.
You are the festival of light
in sorrowful nights.
My everything surrounds You.

of the vast blue sky.

All distant events
lie individually and collectively within me.

On a dreamy moonlight night,
I fly into the blue sky.
In the resonating breeze,
flowers smile,
as I fill joy into them.

I never lose my path.
My Lord remains with me,
as companion in storms and typhoons.

In the magnificent great sky
the beauty of effulgence takes shape.
In that stream, I keep on floating.

In my beautymarked eyes
there is no sleep.
I constantly look unto my destination,
nesting throughout the sky.

The one for whom I remain ever intoxicated,
accompanies me always.
I am never alone.

For whom does my mind become restless,
my heart overwhelmed?

Neither have I seen nor recognised Him.
Who is that unknown sympathiser?

He remains hidden, seated in the depth of my mind
where He keeps all knowledge stored.
He maintains His identity covered with the pollen of life
and smears onto Himself all its sweetness.

The one whom I have unknowingly loved,
has churned away all my nectar.
With the lamp of intuition,
He has removed darkness,
and shown truth to me.

The dark flow of blind attachment
has lost itself in effulgent light.
The flow of intuition spread forth.

All desires and attainments,
all taking and giving,
merged and became one.

Awakening rhythm in my mind,
You smiled in the morning light.

The buds of flowers bloomed with thrill.
My deserted heart started dancing.

By the soft touch of Your sympathising mind,
You provided melody to my song.

You provided consciousness
to inert matter,
and life to sleeping beings.

With a sweet, enchanting,
and affectionate smile,
You drew everyone close to You.

O Lord Rudra,
by Your high rhythm,

On dry branches, buds appeared,
and a flood was brought about in the split river.

Lost hearts regained strength,
lost flowers refilled my tray.

By the rhythm and melody
of songs that once were lost,
my mental lotus reoscillated in heaven.

Everyone heard the new maxim.
The new world became decorated with shades.
A new mission of work was completed on land.

and bow down at Your feet.

The flowers, fragrant with enchanting impulse,
are all covered with sweetness, expecting You.

The sandalwood forest spreads out fragrance
and the cuckoo sings on.

My beautiful peacock rings a jingling sound.
It spreads its tail
and keeps dancing, its lonely dance.

finds proper direction.

O Lord, come closer with a sweet smile
and a soothing touch,
and remove quickly all my agonies.

O Lord,
I cannot forget
the oscillation You bestowed upon me
at the root of my life.

For You I have decorated
all my belongings' essence.

I was lying in a corner,
my life deaf and dumb,
when You secretly entered
the depth of my heart.

This arrival of Yours
is not without reason.

You bestow oscillations
into this world
at every moment.

In this world of light,
I was wrapped up
in a dark costume.

In all thoughts and actions
Your rhythm sounds.

I never heard of You nor saw You.
As my slumber crumbled,
I understood Your divine game.

O Lord,
I am unable to forget You.
Not even do I think of forgetting You.

You are my companion in nights of sorrow.
To Your affection there is no comparison.

You seem a lost heart full of impatience,
and yet You are the sweetnesssmeared heart of my heart.

You do not forget those
who under the spell of delusion
move along the wrong path.

You are the sweetness of the human mind,
and the beauty of a sinless heart.

If anyone happens to become intoxicated by pride,
You repeatedly direct that person
to move along the righteous path.

O Lord,
on a brightly illuminated full moon night,
I attained You in my mind,
along the tinkling strings of my viin'a' (lyre).

In the soft breeze,
of a sweet dream,
You wore a floral costume,
and wandered amidst the murmuring sound
of a forest path.

In the ocean of my mind,
waves began to sway,
and became coloured with Your colour.

From Your heart
the nectar of love poured out,
and flashing light
dyed in red,
removed all darkness.

By Your touch,
my reactive momenta,
accumulated throughout ages,
vanished away.

O Lord,
with a gemlike sparkle,
and a flowerlike smile,
You came into my sweet garden
on some longforgotten spring season.

For ages, renouncing everything,
I was waiting for You, counting time.

So many sandal breezes
have gone with the wind.
Much sandal fragrance
has been blown away.

Many a times
my morning star faded away.
Many a days
passed by unnoticed.

The sweetness of my mind has been lost.
My mental river has dried up.

In my mind,
my viin'a' cries out:
"O Lord, come again,
come naturally by Yourself."

You existed in the past,
You exist now

When fields are covered

in that environment,
remain ever glorified amidst all.

You destroy all darkness.

and will forever continue to exist

Your infinite and immeasurable

Even though You utilise others,
You nonetheless remain useful to all.

You are the lonely company
surrounding from all sides.

Even if no one responds to Your call,
You always speak sweetly.

By the illusion of Your divine game (liila'),
You created this world
and provided life to it.

You entertain no discrimination
between small and big.
In Your mind, everyone lives happily.
Enjoying the love of Your heart,
all bath in effulgence.

O furious Lord,
You put on sternness only to save all.
Under the shelter of that sternness,
You bring about floods
in the ocean of nectar.

O furious Lord
You know how to love!
You, O great one,

You came slowly with rhythmic steps,
charming all
with melody, rhythm and tune.

You poured love into restless minds.
The agitated world found You close.

You poured into the sky,
Your enchanting smile,
as after effect of which
the air became sweet.

That smile went afloat to different countries,
and even an atom got life by its touch.
The earth started smiling and dancing.

I pour out the sweetness of my mind.

On the strings of my lyre (viin'a'),

I find only You.

O eternal companion,
guide me day and night
lead me unto Your effulgent expression.

In the beauty of the infinite,

I attain You in my heart.

In the illusory flower garden,
the illusory bud
is intoxicated with illusory wine.

In the hot blow of an illusory desert,
sand particles take off.

The enchanting illusion
of the morning sun's crimson colour
dissolves into the evening hue.

Those who come, return singing,
engrossed in sweet delusion.

The controller of this illusory game
softly smiles,
as He intoxicates minds.

Enchanted by this illusion,
the musical octave begins to sing.
And even should its song end,
the lingering trace
of a sweet and illusive after effect,
absorbs all in love.

This ma'ya' (illusive divine play) is not false.
For, its controller remains ever dancing to its actions.

Applying a decorative blue mark onto your eyes,
you look into the blue sky.
Tell me, whom are you thinking of today?

On the altar of consciousness,
made of gemlotus,
with what hope do you raise a jingling sound?

Did you remember some past event?
Did some past song appear to you with sound?

Who is that great and superior one,
who made His abode in the sky of your heart?
The expressions of the internal sounds
of the solar plexus,
churned all your thoughts.

Today during dawn,
me, a dust particle,
got lost in the ocean of light.

From the unknown
came the outburst of light
and floated me off
into the unknown.

Through ebb and flow
in the stream of light,
He intoxicated
and made me dance.

Forgetting myself,
I totally became merged
in His ocean.

A dust particle
was my small form,
yet, within that form,
I became formless.

The figurative expression and inspiration
of a single entity,
today,
converted many into one.

Decorate wholeheartedly the ever new one!
Decorate Him carefully with mental jewellery.

Ignoring the repentance of the past,
accept new rays.

Shake off from Your mental arena,
all torn rags and dogmas.

Colour the mind
with a new voice.
And with colourful words,
colour the whole world.

Do not try to bring back
lost days,
and do not get deluded
by the thought
that the past might return.

With vibrant sunlight,
like fresh tonic,
arouse all.

The forward movement,
announced long ago,
will never stop.

With new uproar
and the rhythm of waves,
fill my heart with new melody.

O Lord,
I threaded a garland
of ca'mpa' and bakul flowers
to place around Your neck.
My mind too, I tied to it.

My sister in law had created obstacles
and did not let me pluck these flowers.
I nevertheless went into my garden
and picked them.

It was raining heavily
and the river became flooded.
I carried on walking
and became drenched.

By selling raw mahul,
I purchased Your image.

Enjoying the moonlit night,
my mind bathes in Your colour.

Once unknown and unfamiliar,
You are now known and familiar.
Do not You know this?

You are close and dear to all.
You provide hearty sweetness to everyone.
In pain, pleasure and humiliation,
You remain everyone's eternal companion.

Do not forget this fact.

Who came
into the heavenly garden,
playing His flute,
intoxicating the mind,
and filling enamouing sandal fragrance
into the breeze?

The anklebell sound does not stop.
It reverberates in my heart,
and makes me dance
to the rhythm, melody and octave
of the seven worlds.

My restless heart does not want to leave,
but longs for more and more closeness.

The controller of this divine game,
by delusion,
smears unto all
the honey of affection.

O Lord,
You are sweet,

beautiful
and graceful.

By Your touch
the earth becomes filled with charm.

Those who do not know You,
consider You to be harsh.
Those who do not understand You,
mistake You as unkind.

You control all,
You have no controller.
You remain beyond comparison
and higher than the highest.

By Your love and affection
sleeping consciousness arouses.

You control the three principles,
of the illusory ma'ya'.

You are the nucleus of the universe
Purus'ottama.
You are the remover of darkness.

You listen to all its secrets.
From You, nothing remains hidden.

You infinitely disseminate Yourself.
There is nothing beyond You.

You never forget
even small thoughts or dust particles.
Neither do You forget
distantly shining nebula and stars.
You do not maintain Yourself aloof from anything.

Forgotten springs
and newly bloomed flower petals,
lose themselves in the horizon's wondrous swings.

Where Your existence might not be felt,
I am unable to imagine.

For, other than You,
nothing exists.

the flowers that bloomed
in the depth of my mind.

Much weeping and many smiles
were poured out from the lamp
that glowed around You.

When, during the serpentine noose of past history,
the light on earth
became destroyed by terror,
Supreme Consciousness (Parama Purus'a) arrived,
to arouse hope on a dumb face.

You came,
churning my heavenly garden.
You keep Yourself surrounded
by the fragrance of nectar.

You never ignore anyone,
Your aspirations are meant for everyone.
With a sweetnessabsorbed look,
You draw all into Your heart.

You fill with beauty and colour
the love
that is free from expectation.

With the mark of decoration

Your third eye remains glowing.

Under Your pounding weight,
the earth and heaven tremble.
In fear of You
all accumulated sins vanish away .

The Lord of destruction is dancing!

You opened the tuft of Your hair
to spread ashes on the burning foreheads
of all those who were polluting Your air,
extinguishing Your light,
contaminating Your pure drinking water
and trying to turn the earth into hell.

With the fragrance of flowers,
You absorbed all in heavenly bliss.
O what type of illusion is this?

How did it happened?
Single handed, it is not possible.
Can creepers, leaves and petals
live alone in the flower garden?

From one to many and many to one,
that is how, He does so much.

By Your rhythm, at every moment,
the measure of time dances on.
All concepts of place and person
become discharged into that rhythm.

In a continuous dance,
it rushes on unto infinity
in search of nectar,
in search of that immeasurable
and sweetly anointed expression.

all come close,
bowing down to knee height.

Effulgent rings surround You feet

with His long tuft of hair,

You have been in the past,
You are present now
and You will forever remain.

In Your mind,
the seven worlds *
are contained
in the flow of Your divine game (liila').

Those who existed crores of years ago,
are still present today,
lingering on in the infinitude of Your being.

Those who are to come in crores of years,
will likewise not remain unattended.

Maintaining all,
You keep smiling.
That is why,
I kiss Your feet.

Those situated crores of light years away,
are not lost either.

They exist in Your mind
dancing to Your tunes and rhythms.
You keep them bound
by the attraction of love.

That is why
I bow down before thy feet.

The river water floods both banks
and rushes upstream in the intensity of love.

By Your love,
sweetness was filled into void hearts.

For the invocation of whom,
has the pious inscription been written down,

Who has kindled light today,
awakening tides in the ocean of beauty?

Who has poured out nectar,
engendering a lively smile
in the depth of darkness?

Those who were lying uncared for in a corner,
today, merged into the dust of the earth.
In the intoxication of the new flow,
all artificial distinctions were erased.

The door of the path of light opened up.
An blow of extreme magnitude
struck the deadly slumber.

The bondage of name and form
of those who were living like the dead,
dissolved into formlessness.

O Lord,
You came into my mind in a sweet dream.
Into my new floral home
You came with soft footsteps,
and filled my eyes.

At that time,
the flowers were pouring nectar from their pollen,
while birds were singing their melodious songs.

Those who had been separated from their lover
rushed out and in dance moved towards You.

You came into my mind
with sandal breeze.
You came with a sweet memory,
and glittering directions.

With an enchanting colouration,
You bypassed and eliminated sleepiness.

You came into my garden
with the rhythm of jingling anklebells,
resonating to the sound of the cuckoo.

O most beloved Lord,
with a sweet face and silent feet
come into my mental garden.

My home has blossomed.
With a smiling heart,
in melody and rhythm,
let me sing my song for You.

In the hope of Your arrival,
I have been surviving for ages.
Expecting You with a heart churned to its core,
I have kept my nectar pot filled.

With pleasing lips,
drink that from that decent vessel
like a bee does from its flower.

The hot sandstorm's sand
won't dry
the liveliness of Your intense flavour.

The thunder's roar in angry storms
won't burn
Your fresh greenness.

On a nimble date in a sleepless night,
I have kept the flame of my lamp burning
to remove my darkness.

O Lord,
shall I never ever attain Your feet?

I constantly remember and revere only You.
Why then, do You not come in my fold?

Harassed by constant blows,
I lost my entire auspicious faculty of thinking.

I now resemble a neglected and fallen leaf,
carrying in my heart,
hundreds of thoughts of You.

All those who come,
again disappear,
like bubbles in the ocean of time.

Yet, in the ocean of light's effulgence,
You remain ever present.

I have kept the wick of hope lighted.

With the five lamps of the five fundamental factors
and the fragrant niip flower of this illusive world,
I sit near my altar,

with a sweetnessfilled mind
and gentle excitement.

On the path of highest fulfillment
the chariot of bright sun rays advances.
Along the stream of melody and tune,
my empty heart becomes filled to the brim.

From the icy mountains, floods descend,
filling both heaven and earth,

Remembering You in my mind,

In the beginning of my life's morning,
Your crimson effulgence conquered my mind.
Daylong and pauselessly,
the rhythm of my life has since
oscillated in Your swing.

Meditating on You and singing Your name,
I have been facing all obstacles,
and attained my cherished one.
Your expression and consciousness,
gave me strength of sa'dhana'.

O companion from time immemorial!
O sympathiser in distress!
Invoking You,
ignoring day and night,
I keep on singing Your name.

O Lord, what illusive divine game (liila') of Yours
entered my mind,
oscillating the vessel of my life?

With heartfelt love, You generated melodies.
O Guest, what garland did You bring about?
The song of darkness became filled by Your melody,
the tune of pessimism got lost in the desert.

Today, wearing a colourful dress
in heart and mind, move forward.

Seriousness will not hold,
with tears only I express my salutation.
On a dark night, on a desert path,
the instrument of my heart
became filled with light.

You stood.

In an atmosphere

You lingered on with red coloured lips.

Vibrating the seven spheres,
You spoke a message of affection.
A song whose tune overflowed with impulse,
reverberated in a sweet breeze.

Your eyes were nectarsmeared.
A heavenly sound rushed out
and fell in surrender unto Your feet.

All those whose voice was lost
gathered together
to express themselves through suggestion.

You were in the softness
that is covered with hardness.

when intuition lost itself in You.

All lost hopes
reappeared a hundred times

Filled with Your ideation,
holding Your tune,
I remain intoxicated in Your sweet flow.

to conquer each particle of my being,
pouring into it

By applying the ainjan (collyrium) of ideation

all wants and loneliness were removed.

I traveled alone,
crying in dark nights,
wandering to and fro
from path to path.

I could not imagine
that along with me
the untiring wheel
of Your cart was also moving.

With Your own hand
You applied ainjan (collyrium)

You showed the path
in unending darkness

You bathed everyone's mind.

With a stir from the heavenly arena,
You enlivened the three worlds.

By eliminating the distinction
between near and far,
between close and distant,
You made everyone Your own.

In a single thread,
You tied both good and bad,
both dark and white,
and indeed, all lives.

By the morning effulgence
and the colour of evenings
You engrossed everyone
in conscious love.

By making one cross
the limitations of place,
time and person,
You aroused the vibration
of murmuring melodies.

O Lord, I have searched You,
on dark days,
during the dullness of dark nights,
with a heart filled with agony.

I wanted You in the spring season of my mind,
in a fragrant flower garden.
In a touch of sandal breeze,
in nicely resonating love songs.

I have searched You
in the rain of soft clouds
when the mental peacock dances and sings.

Sitting on the branch of niip tree,
it calls the unknown distant
from within the pollen of ketakii flowers.

I wanted You on a full moon night,
in shining beauty
and a dreamy environment.

O Lord, whoever I encountered
that I could draw close to me
and obtain love from
was sent to me by Your grace.

Only You know,
where those who went away
have gone.

O star of my life from time immemorial!
O Lord! You are never lost.
Those who are present now,
will one day fade away
into the realm of infinity.

This temporal world
consists of coming and going.
Distinctions between small and big
so become irrelevant.

Both the most insignificant
as well as the greatest ones,
are equally bound by Your regulation.
Both the living and nonliving
are to move according to Your wish.

Could it be that effulgence descended
onto this dusty earth?

Open your eyes, and,
envigoured with earnestness,
observe!

The trees and creepers
have dressed in colours.
Spiritedness fills their minds.

The dance of colours
produces vibrations in land and water
and engenders sweet nights.
Distressed minds
are now intoxicated with rhythm.

Gardens are full of flowers
and a fragrant breeze is in the air.
The vibrant fountain
flows on with flashes of smiling light.

O Lord, after a long time
and much wandering about,
I have today recognised You.

You are the cool shade amidst intense heat
I never knew this fact.

In stormy nights,
when fire threatens,
You accompany us.

During heavy rains,
floods and lightning,
You bestow blessings
with soft hands
and leave a mark on our heads.

On the path of movement,
I have no other means to adopt
except holding on to Your name.
You are the polestar
in intensely dark nights.

Taking Your name, I lose myself.
You are the soothing balm for all my wounds.
In honour, I salute You
both physically and mentally.

O Lord, You are secretly hiding
in the corner of my mind.

You are vaster than vast.
You are moist with the honey of love,
detached from the whole world.

You have removed
all staticity and drowsiness.
O Entity beyond thought,
You have come
within the scope of imagination.

You have blossomed
in the lotus of my mind.
O Great One beyond all feelings!

In white snow,
in foggy mountains,
in the mental garland of gems,
within the jewellery casket,
You exist.

O pure essence of intuition,
stream of nectar,
embodiment of truth,
consciousness and bliss!

O Lord!
You came bringing fragrance
into my mental garden,
and through songs,
vibrated the instrument of my heart.

My inner voice was lying suppressed
with agonies piled up from ages back.
You removed that pile
and aroused expressions
of new melodies within me.

You came in isolation.
The sweetness of affection
was lying dumb,
concealed in the cave of buds.

You removed that veil,
and unfolded my heart.
You came gradually.

I have come,
originating from a world of effulgence
to provide love and hope
to those disappointed.

I am floating in an arena of thought
coloured in love and enchanted in You.

I have aspired for You during darkness,
I attained You during a night of distress.

I visualised You in a trace of melody.
My mind became intoxicated
by Your enchanting adornment
and incomparable rhythm.

I wanted You during storms
and, there and then,
obtained You as gentle breeze.

I listened to the lovely flute,
to a collection of heavenly tunes
that elevated me from inertial drowsiness.

smiled into the core of my mind,
and made buds bloom.

Clouds that had assembled
in the northeastern sky,
floated away.

You played the flute,
filled all with joy
and spread out floral fragrance.

The agonies of those neglected and dishonoured,
those lying aside,
were all removed.

Overwhelming hearts to the brim
with joy,
You flooded this world.

I did not call You,
yet You came
and extended Your causeless grace.

I was lying aside dishonoured,
neglected in a corner.
You awakened and aroused me,
keeping Your hand over mine.
You showered upon me sweet words
that were filled with love.

I was lying on the dirty ground,
my head covered with dust.
There was nobody around
to understand my agony.

In the dark night,
merging heart with heart,
You removed the load of pain
and engrossed me
in a sweet and jingling melody.

You came with sweetnessabsorbed affection.

The lotus that never bloomed in my mind,
providing joy

at any time
You made it bloom and filled it with honey.

O, unseen controller!
You came down without me calling You!

the musical octave that never vibrated
You made them tinkle sweetly
on the strings of the viin'a'.

By forgiving my mistakes,
You filled the firmament of my heart.

Why are you silent in this resonating world,
who are you searching in a corner of your mind?

Numerous golden winter nights,
numerous mornings and evenings
have passed by.

The guest who loves came.

You did not come in anybody's fold,
and did not become selfselective.

In your mind only one name was floating,
I feel you had kept the sweetness
of your mind for Him only.

You were not lost in rainstorms,
nor did you lose your direction in darkness.
You have been thinking about Him day and night.

Why seems your sleep full of thorns?
Why is there intoxication in your mind
and why are your eyes filled with tears?

The one whom you love,
has He forgotten you?
Is it because of this,
that flood came rushing down

A powerful one is shedding tears
like a snake having lost its gem.

You personally looked towards me.

When I deviated from Your path,
You brought me back on the track.

The planet,
although far from its nucleus star,
can it ever be dispelled away?
The star constantly pulls it towards itself.
Likewise, You too attract me unto You.

but, can it ever leave it?
The ocean calls it always.
In the same way, You too call me again and again.

when will You come rowing?

Yet still, O my pole star!
You did not come into my fold.

How many nights have passed by?

How many days became filled with pain?
How many songs lost?

With the hope that whatever You do
is done for our good
I remain awake.

In remembering my faults,
I beg Your pardon.
Shower Your grace upon me!

O remover of agonies!
I love You!

Destroy the darkness
and keep me ever awake!

Manifest Yourself in my mental arena
and reside in the lotus of my heart.

O Lord!
Come to my home!
I am waiting seated
with a kindled lamp.

In the dense night,
on a dark path,
why do You remain alone,
although I have kindled my light?

Always looking upwards,
I think about You.
I hear about You in the songs of stars
that are spread out throughout the sky.

You are mine and I am Yours,
this essence I have come to understand.

In the corner of my mind
I have spread a seat for You.
I prepared it with incense,
lamps,
bright marks
and flowers,
that were collected in my mental garden.

...................................................................

OLord,
please come into my house.
I have kept waiting for You with a kindled light.
Why do You keep Yourself away,
wandering on a dark road at the dead of night?
I have already lit my light.

I keep looking up into the sky
and while looking,
I think of You.

I obtain messages about You
from the twinkling of the stars,
spread throughout the sky.

I came to realise the essence of life:
You are mine and I am Yours.

I prepared Your seat in the core of my heart
and decorated it with incense and candles.
With bright eyelids
I have plucked flowers in the forest of my mind.

You came, crossing the ocean of darkness.

You are majestic,
calm,
ever active,
difficult to understand
and blazing.

With harsh hands,
You remove sins.
To the auspicious intellect,
You provide shelter.

By Your sweet and affectionate attraction,
consciousness aroused throughout the world.

You are the Supreme Consciousness
of infinite intellect.
You reside awakened in all the ten directions
You observe with uncountable eyes.

To innumerable lives
You provide inspiration.
You cause the decay,

creepers trembling with affliction,
my flower dried up.

By a simple touch,
You gift rain
and bring about floods
into dried up streams.
You make fountains immensely overflow.

Listen to me, do not give any more pain!
Do not You know
what pain is resonating in my heart?

How harsh are You!
You are without feelings!
Making me cry,
You smile in great joy.

If You would have had a heart like mine,
You could have understood,
how much agony living beings suffer.

With a request
to bestow Your grace upon me,
please accept my hundreds of salutations
directed all unto Your feet!

O companion in pain and pleasure!
O heavenly nectar!

In my eyelids only, You remain.
My heart has been filled with love and hope.

You snatched away my every expression,
as I poured out my life unto You.
For a sweet illumination
I squeezed my heart.

Into my ears
enter from air and sky,
the numerous events
that You tell about.

Amidst all expressions and consciousnesses,
in each particle of dust,
in the great sky,
in pitch darkness,
in the smiling moonlight,
and even in the vacant heart,
You only exist.

..........................................................................

O Lord,
Your heavenly sweetness only remains with me,
in happiness and in sorrow it permeates the lids of my eyes.

You have snatched away my entire language,
my heartfelt hopes, my love and affection.

After wringing out my heart,
with a sweet expression,
I offer my everything to You.

I keep opening my ears to the wind and sky,
I hear You speaking many things.

You are manifested in all expressions,
in every consciousness,
in divine pollen
and in the vast sky.

You are in the midst of deepest darkness,
and yet, You also reside in a free heart,
on a smiling moonlit night.

You tame the hardness in thunderbolts.
and doing so,
take shape in the firmament of my heart.

In the bud of my mind
I held the embodiment of sweetness
when One beyond thought,
came into my fold.

I did not see Him in philosophy,
I could not understand Him
through scientific knowledge
nor did I find Him in theological gospels.

I attained Him by love
and kept Him in the midst of my heart,
when all eyes eagerly looked upon Him.

By a loving sound
so full of rhythm and song,
the earth became filled
with fragrance and contemplation.

By a dreamy voice
full of affection and sweetness,
all entities understood Him
in actual experience.

I send out my call
to invite all
onto a journey,
traversing a path of effulgence!

The earth,
swinging in the great universal swing,
has beautified itself.
Today, no discrimination persists.

Come all, forgetting rivalry!
Let us jointly announce
that we are one
and that we will remain one.

All hearts are threaded
in the same garland of gems.
Let us all sing our song
in the same tune!

There is neither
high nor low,
black nor white,
for, in this world,
we are all brothers.

The pain and earnestness of one,
is pain and earnestness to all.

Within the ocean of nectar,
all hearts oscillate
in the same swing
and sing a single song.

Remaining filled with love,
arousing hope in others,
speaking in the same tone,
let us look ahead!

Extending love
to both friend and foe,
singing the song of pardoning,
let us move forward!

.............................................................................

"On this path of our journey to light all are
welcome.
I send out this clarion call.
Let us forget our personal rivalries and declare
in one voice:
We are all one and we shall remain one. There is
no distinction of high and low, black and white.
We are all tied in bonds of universal brotherhood."

O Lord!
You are light
in my dark house.
You illuminate
my dark heart.

You are the festival of light
in nights of sorrows.
You are the remover
of total darkness.

You bring about the touch
of a gentle and sweet sandalwood breeze.
You know the importance
of lively and rhythmic tones.

You do not want anything,
You do not get anything,
You extend love only.

The world,
so full of Your forms,
smiles continuously.

How much are You to play the flute,
to remove all agony
and provide happiness to all?

You do not get anything,
and yet, in giving Your everything,
You ignite the flame of life.

..............................................................

You are the light of my dark house.
You are the light of my dark heart.
In the oil devoid lamp of my heart
You glitter by Your own nature.

The vast blue sky is full of stars.
Galaxies beacon with sandals fragrance
and more and more light is reflected amongst them.
It is indeed all Your own effulgence.

Countless lamps are included in one,
By removing deepest darkness
You awaken new hopes in everyone's heart.
Indeed, You are the light of love.

You are my nearest and dearest!
You are the lost honey of my heart!
Please make me Your own!

You are the protective shade
in the midday sun.
You are the light
in the dark night.

In the roughness of the desert
as well as in green shade,
You pour out Your wholehearted love.

Take away my everything,
and leave nothing but the touch of life.

Amidst roars of thunder,
and the fire of lightning,
You resemble the ketakii flower
that emits fragrance in rain.

In this soft fragrance,
that blows in the cool breeze,
lies assurance to me.

You are the shelter
and pabulum of my mind.
You are my most respected One!

..........................................................

You are my only one.
You are my nearest and dearest.
You are the sweetness of my deserted heart.
Please make me Your own.

You are the umbrella's shadow in the sunshine
You are the light in the dark night.
You keep pouring Your unconditional love
into the harshness of the desert
and the illusive green land.

Please take everything from me
and leave over nothing.
All I want is Your sweet touch.

With a thunderous sound
You kindle light in thunders.
In the rainy season
You become as mild as a ketakii flower.

You flow a tender fragrance
into the sweet and calm wind,
you fill the mind with assurance and inspiration.
You are the anchor of my ship,
my only mental food,
You are ever affectionate toward me.

I search You under the blue sky,

O Lord!
You have come today,
To think about suffering people,
to destroy the darkness in all minds,
and to love all living beings.

The earth was eagerly waiting for Your advent,
marks of injury filled her body.
Under the painful load of afflictions,
all happiness was lost.

On the bosom of the earth,
kindle more light.
Into distressed hearts,
pour more nectar.

Send out Your clarion call to all
to move forward with heads held high.

You have come today to think
of afflicted people,
to destroy the evil of all minds,
to love all creatures.

The universe was waiting for Your advent,
everywhere there were signs of distress,
all happiness had been completely lost
under the heavy weight of affliction

Radiate more and more light into this world.
Pour more and more nectar into all hearts.
Send out Your clarion call to all,
to move ahead with heads held high.

O Lord!
Having come into my home,
please sit down a while
and smile softly.

Let the sparks of Your effulgence radiate plentifully.
Pardon my defects

and the mistakes of my actions.
Forgetting the past,
I have now become Yours.

Take me along,
take me beyond the heap of darkness.
Do not be harsh with me.

You are my closest,
other than You
none is mine.

Into the vibrations of my heart,
You provide bliss.
Continue making me dance
in Your role as stealer of mind.

O Lord!
You are the moon in the sky,
You are the brilliant gem
lying hidden in the ocean.

Why I did want You,
I do not know.

Your heartsnatching effulgence,
Your affectionfilled mind,
make feelings overflow in me.
You have become, my most beloved.

Why do You keep calling me from afar,
smearing me with sweet nectar,
and pulling me unto You at every moment...
as if You were after my heart?

O Lord!
With expectations,
day and night,
I am sitting and waiting for You.

My heart is everfull of impulse,
yet, my lamp is about to become extinguished.

Tell me who else other than You
knows how to love?

You are the illumination of the earth
You make the core of my heart sing.

If You won't come,
O Dear One,
then rest assured
that I will be disappointed and disheartened,
which won't add to Your glory.

And yet, I know,
by praise or condemnation
You are not affected.

With hope, day and night,
I wait,
looking onto Your path.
In the fading lamplight,
I wait day by day with a full heart.

Who is able to love me, except You?
You are the light of the world.
This is why I sing for You a song from my heart.

If You don't come, O dearest Lord,
this is what You should know:

Your good reputation will not sooth
my broken hopes,
my broken heart.
Though, perhaps You don't care about praise or blame!

O Lord, do not go!
I yet need to talk to You about various matters.
I wish to sing more songs to You.
So many things have been left pending.

An isolated flash of lightning
is calling me from the northeastern sky.
The roar of thunder continues to frighten me.

Remain close to me, stay in my mind.
Do not leave me alone.

On this stormy night
I lost everything that belonged to me .
My perplexed heart does not know
how to move forward on Your path.

Remain in my mind and fill my heart.
Do not crush the petals of my flower.

O Lord,
I went to You in order to demand from You
but I returned back ashamed.

I realized that all my necessities and preparations
are within Your imagination.

Much more than what I know about myself,
do You know about me.
And much more do You bestow
than whatever I think is required by me.

O my eternal companion,
You have absorbed me
in the colour of affection.

That garland of love,
with beauty and attachment,
will ever remain for You.

I returned back ashamed
yet in affection,
entered the world of thought.

O Lord!
Leaving You, where shall I go?
What exists outside You?

If at all I have to go anywhere,
I shall go under Your feet,
into the nucleus of the universe.

By taking Your name
all fear and shyness vanish.

Effulgence flows out,
illuminating all hearts.
The song of Your love and union
continues resonating always.

By meditating on You,
my mind is satisfied
and the load of my agony alights.

All entities become spirited,
beautified eyes turn tearful.

Your smile and enchanting flute
provides inspiration for all actions to come.

O Lord!
How much agony I have in my mind for You!
Do not You want to understand this?

I have lost the gem of my eye,
do You deliberately not see that?

So many eras have passed by crying!
No more sleep is there in my eyes.

O touchstone of mine!
Why do You smile with joy from afar?
Come into my mind,
understand my pain,
do not remain unkind any longer.

On which stormy night,
did my bosom friend go away?
In this painful memory
my heart breaks with intense suffering.

Sit near me and smile lovingly,
do not leave feelings of pain anymore.

The bud has bloomed,
bees have come,
and a sweet and gentle breeze is blowing.

My heart searches
that unknown divinity
that snatched away my mind.

In moonlight,
in oblivion of all fear and shyness,
removing all meanness,
my heart has set out in search of Him.

The green coverings of soft grass
continuously call
that unknown stealer of hearts.

Within mountains and oceans,
within the depths of mind,
a tinkling is aroused
by the touch of consciousness,
vibrating the string (of life).

By the nectar of melody
all disappointments vanish.

Flooding a sweet affection,
who has swayed the heaven,
executing this unparalleled melody?

arrived on His own,
removing darkness

To all lives, You are the rhythmic song
in encounters of love.
Amidst deserts, You are the spring water

You are the soft touch during storms,
You provide strength to broken hearts.

You are the collection of sweet love
that gets lost in the southern wind.
In moonlight, You are the smile of stars,
You are the heap of soft and fragrant flowers.

By entering into drowsy minds,
You bestow inspiration in bad times.

You applied balm on my darknessfilled eyes.
You came uninvited,
irrespective of my good and bad qualities.

By Your light, the earth became sweetly illuminated.
By Your touch, life found expression.

By Your joy, the world awakened.
All hearts started dancing as one.

Once drowsy eyes, are now absorbed in nectar.
In them, Your considered call
reflects a world that You have chosen.

O Lord, You enchant and resonate my mind,
You are the very embodiment of affection.

Have mercy on afflicted ones,
I have come into Your shelter.

You are the controller
beyond the web of ma'ya'.
You destroy all adversities
and remove all dirt.

You reside deep within my mind,
and enlighten it.

You are the ultimate object of ideation,
my dearest contemplation
and the best song to listen to.

By Your weapon, the pride of the antidivine forces,
gets powdered down.

For the welfare of all,
You restrain and integrate the mental arena.

Tingling, pleasing and vibrating,
You pardon my faults.

You are divinely magnificent,
O attractive one,
embodiment of love divine!

I came under You shelter.
Please have compassion,
I am stricken with grief.

Residing beyond ma'ya' (illusive force),
You are the controller of ma'ya'.
You are the solution to all danger.
You are the stealer of bad consequences.
You live in the heart.
You colour the utmost core of minds.

You are the subjective part of my dhyana (meditation)
and the wellwisher of my life.

The benefit of merely hearing You is felt.

With weapons,
made of pieces of broken earthen wore (or a skull),
You powder down
the challenge of gods, goddesses and enemies!

You maintain me restrained for the sake of my own welfare
and bestow control over my mind.

You forgive and turn us expressive, blissful and vibrant.

O Lord, with the incense of meditation
and the lamp of life,
I kindled a festival of lights for You.

If You do not come,
the fresh decoration of this twilight
will go in vain.

With Your beauty and colours
You have filled this earth.
Into my mind,
You aroused attachment.

When attachment saturated,
You granted the dust of Your feet,
and filled all hearts
with song and dance.

Into my mind, You poured love.
When affection overflowed,
I held You close.

With the incense of my dhyana (meditation)
and the lamp of my life
I lit a row of lights.
If You not come, everything will go in vain,
all the decorations I made this dusk.

By Your grace, the world is full of forms and colours,
You fill our minds with attachments.

And at the end of all illusion,
You bless us with Your lotus feet's sacred touch.

You have charmed all hearts with dances and songs
and infused affection in them.
And at the end of all love,
You appear closer in devotion.

O Lord!
Leaving me alone in isolation,
where are You going?

You float me into tears,
yet, in Your mind,
You smile.
Very well do You know
that I love You.

It would have been better
had You not been performing
Your game
each and every moment.

Millions of living beings
dress up in millions of styles
to love You.
Because of that,
no place is there for me in Your heart,
neither in Your awakened condition,
nor while You are asleep.

Where do You go in seclusion,
leaving me alone,
and making me weep with tears?
Inside Your mind, You silently smile.

You know very well that I love You.
Why then do You play You liila every moment?

There are crores of creatures in uncountable forms to love.
So, do I not have any place in Your heart,

neither while asleep nor while awake?

Who are You who came today
with the adornment of a golden lotus?

You came from the calm and cool stream
with consolation-filled eyes.

Your soft and simple smile
appears in the firmament of my heart
and pulls me towards some unknown place.

You never remain far and never hate.
Even after knowing all my faults,
You affectionately lift me onto Your lap.

I was with You since the dawn of creation,
I am with You now
and will forever remain
under Your loving shade.

O Lord!
Your smile,
made flowers bloom.
Bees became attracted
and my mind became coloured.

By overflowing joy
and speedy currents,
the ocean became agitated.

The buds had pulled down their veil
and were restlessly hiding in shyness.
As the light of Your effulgence fell upon them,
they became filled with restless inspiration.

O nontemporal entity!
Now that You have come,
kindle light continuously.

Today, the bee suddenly spoke something
and away it went.
Waves aroused in my heart,
and made it dance in the tune of light.

You have loved me
that is why I accept You
as the entity par excellence.

Your smile made flowers bloom.
The black bees gathered around.

Your presence coloured the minds of all.
Rivers began to overflow with joy,
and the ocean started surging with bliss.

The birds, overcome by shyness,
had covered their faces with veils.
When Your light fell on them,
they were charged with inspiration.

You came out of Your own free will.
Let Your light shine forth throughout eternity.

The black bees came
and left behind some messages,
then they suddenly left.

My life arose in waves,
leaving me dancing on in the light of melody.
I know that You have always loved me.
I therefore accept You as the greatest of all.

The more I think that I should not think about You,
the more I become engrossed in Your ideation.

You exist and I exist.
I have forgotten the world around me.

In all things
Your beauteous form and love are present.

The star of the fardistant sky,
this green and beautiful earth
are all engrossed in Your ideation
and lose themselves,
in the dance that forever surrounds You.

I have never seen anything like You,
nor can I imagine anything like it.

By loving me, You have done so much for me.
You removed hundreds of agonies.

In stormy nights
You provided fearlessness.
During intense rains
You provided shelter.
Amidst volcanic fire eruptions, You provided the green beauty
that is so full of charming sweetness.

Frequently did I forget You,
yet, You always brought me back onto the path.
On this crimsoncoloured and enchanting morning,
You provided new vitality and activeness to me.

Why did the bee suddenly come into my floral garden?
Who knows? Who knows?

Being surrounded by colourful leaves and petals,
it did not listen to anything.

That is why, today,
I see a new shine in my floral garden.
A sweet breeze carries songs full of love.

The flowers desire that the bee
come and speak buzzingly
and then,
with honey filled in its bosom,
fly away to all places.

There is no obstruction in forward movement;
liberal hearts are attached to one another in rhythm.
The language of songs that is set to tunes

where does it lie? Where does it lie?

In all gardens and in all hearts
only one image remains hidden.
There is no wavering
in the notes of stringed instruments
nor is there in any mind.

You are the consolation in the night of agony,
and that is why I love You.

During totally dark nights,
with a golden lamp in hand,
You stay with me
and annihilate my darkness.

During sorrow, affliction and pain,
with Your own hands,
You wipe away my tears.

You kindle the lamp of hope,
to remove all filth and darkness.

Pure essence and purifying fire
have awakened Your flame.
Intuitive light, the essence of knowledge,
shines forth in Your illumination.

The unconscious mind,
under the pressure of inertness,
came to life during pratisaincara
(the returning phase of creation).

Into the arena of pabula where love resides,
You offered final oblation.
Heavenly effulgence descended
and the earth became gracefully decorated.

Both earth and heaven
started swinging to and fro
awakening in it,
cognition of life.

In the intense heat of summer

I tune the viin'a (lyre) of my heart

I break that totally locked prison,

drift away to unknown arenas.

My lamp glows without flicker.

They destroy all darkness

You came on a cloudy night,
treading a dark path.

With each sweet tune,
that You played on the strings of the viin'a' (lyre),
to which fardistant arena

did You attract me?

In that total darkness
during fear and panic,
the illumination of Your lightning
provided direction to me.

On that sleepless rain,
when hopes were broken,
my defeated heart found back its speech.

With a thundering declaration and a loud voice,
You provided consciousness to those inert.

O companion during all agonies of the dark night,
silent sympathiser during all pains!
Being so close,
why do You remain so far?

I cannot understand You

that You provided.

You constantly crush the ego,
this is why people call You Darpaharii (ego killer).

You are the delight of my soul.
The world salutes You.

At that time,
inert drowsiness was not yet over.
The sun had not yet risen in the eastern sky
and the petals of flowers did not yet smile
under the soft breeze of spring.

The dust of heaven
enthusiastically swooshed down
unto the unseen earth.

No sky nor gently smiling air
were there to dance with vivacity.

And yet, the mental viin'a' (lyre),
tuned to the musical octave,
sang numerous songs in Your tune.

Bypassing all dogmas,
a heart longed for Your touch.

O Lord!
You scattered heavenly sweetness all around,
You poured it into floral gardens and mental arenas.

The play of lighting in the lap of clouds
continuously calls me.
Even storms, thunder and falling meteorites,
adore You always.

My defeated heart desires You
and today is emerged in dancing.

You took on Yourself
the load of sorrows
in order to bring smiles on faces.

With a sweet voice
You continue announcing:
"I love you."

Arouse with a sweet smile
and say with love:
"Here, no agony persists."

O Lord, do not go away!
Many things are yet to be told.

Return back to my home.
In my house, I live alone.

I call You in pain and pleasure.
I work remembering You.

After losing everything,
I just want to love You wholeheartedly.

I do not want consolation nor comfort,
my only wish is that You protect me from staticity.

Come close into my mind,
I have left its doorbolts open.

O Lord I searched for You
in the world of knowledge,
but attained You,
time and again,
in the light of ideation.

I never searched for You
in the depths of my mind
but instead in the external world.
That is why
You remained out of reach,
in distant realms.

Dewed with sweet affection,
You fill everyone's mind.
By impulsive, sentimental expressions,
emotional outbursts and songs
I recognise You
in tunes and melody.

In a drowsy and dreamy stream,
I had forgotten myself,
being intoxicated with blind attachment.

O one who is ever awake!
Holding me by Your hand,
You showed me the direction of movement,
to move on with head held high.

have You come from,

To pour out the sweetness of affection, You came,
carrying in hand a load of vitality.

Today, in the dry river of my life,
a flood of inexhaustible flower pollen aroused.

My heart is filled with melody,
tune and song,
desiring to make all my own.

Today, my peacock and cuckoo,
with unbound restlessness,
sing along in high pitch.
The stream of melody flows on
in nectarial beauty.

You are my life.

You are the overwhelming flood,
and loving song
that vanquish all pains.

When approaching You,
I am overcome with false shyness,
as I speaking to one
who knows much more than I do
about what I am worth.

Lightening lamps
on a bright moonlit night,
giving false tax to falsehood,
looking at the bangle of a hand in a mirror
are all but insults to intellect.

Looking at a dumb face,
why do You go on playing Your divine sport (liila')?

I went to pilgrimage in search of You
and carried out many a discussion on the scriptures.

I continued performing breathing
and bodytouching rituals.
Why did You not look at me?

Offering the light of my life,
decorating the flowers of my mental arena,
absorbing lovefilled sandalwood paste,
I give myself.
Please accept me.

I am offering myself to You.

I have loved only You,
again and again,
in innumerable ideas,

In the colourful beauty
of the morning sun
I find You
running in the blood of my life.

I see You
in the secluded depth of my heart,
removing pain and obstruction.

When intoxicated by the wine of attachments,
I do not look at You,
even after finding You nearby.
And by forgetting You
I engross myself in nonessence.

You have broken my infatuation.

I have loved You again and again,

I have seen You in the colourful picture of morning sun,
and I have found You in blood of my life.

I visualised You in the depth of my heart,
removing all my pains and obstacles.

When I was addicted to the attachment
of the worldly affairs,
I did not pay attention to You.
Instead attracting You closer,
I forgot You,
and became engrossed in the futile world.

You have removed the spell of illusion that lay on me.

on the occasion of the total festivity of light,
why do You remain alone?

When the peacock and cuckoo sing,
full of enthusiasm, in sweet melody.

On the lotus altar of this earth,
You have come to destroy the threefold sorrows.

On dry buds You made flowers bloom
You brought about floods on both sides of the river bank.

You came to provide shelter to orphans,
to alleviate distressed minds,
to arouse strength in the helpless,
and to break the wheels of the carts
of those selfishly proud.

The earth came into fold in a new style,

In a new form and flow, it announced
that on this earth everyone has the right to life.

Slumbering minds awakened
and selfish egoism was quelled.

Delirious pride understood
that the conscience of the world

This morning, You suddenly thought about me,
after conducting hundreds of divine games,
throughout ages and ages,
in eternally different ways.

Today, I hear the charmingly resonating
sound of ankle bells.
O Lord, please wait!
I wish to offer You my neverending salutations.

Those days of Vraja passed by invisibly
a long time back.
Into the New Vrindavana You appeared,
unfolding Yourself in the recess of my mind,
unfolding Yourself in all minds.

Is it that this morning suddenly
my remembrance came to Your mind
after putting me under hundreds of liilas
for eons in ever different ways?

Today, I hear the sweetest sound of anklebells
that I ever heard.
Please stop a while,
I wish to offer my pranam to You.

The days of Vraja are long gone,
residing beyond our memory.
Yet, You have arrived in the new Vrindavana of our mind
and entered the core of my heart.

O Lord,
when thinking of those most sinful people,
don't be afraid.
If sinners were not there,
what greatness would You have?

Those who always call You with folded hands
and tearful eyes,
O controller of the world,
do You think they are Your only devotees?

Those who are identified as sinners,
in their minds also devotion exists.
They would not want to become light
by giving the load of their sins to You.

O Lord,
please don't keep Yourself away from anyone,
despising anybody as a sinner.
Had there been no sinner,
what would Your glory have been for?

O, Lord of the universe,
do You think that those
who take the name of You all the time,
folding the palms with tearful eyes,
are the only devotees?

There is also devotion in the hearts of those
who are known as sinners.
They would never want to be freed
from the load or consequence
of sin by giving them to You.

Nowhere close, do I find such beauty.

You remain surrounded by thorns,
and, due to fear of thorns,
I do not go near You.
Remove all my fear and shyness,
so that, wholeheartedly,
I may feel Your near presence.

I want to talk to You with an open heart.

I do not want to remain far from You.

The honey of Your pollen is for everyone,
and for that honey, I am keeping awake.
No language exists
that would describe this greatness and fragrance of Yours.

You are as bright as a hundred petaled golden lotus,
hardly can I dare to go near its magnificence.

You are covered with thorns
and due to this, I won't approach You.

Please remove all my shame and doubts,
so that I may realise You with all my heart.
Let me speak to You with an open mind and satisfy myself.
I don't want to remain far.

The sweetness of You pollen is for everyone,
and I wait for it without sleep.
There is no word that could describe Your glory and fame.

when opening their petals?

Filling honey into their heart,
they silently swing with the sandal breeze.

Opening wide both eyes,
filled with illusive collyrium mark,
and so full of heavenly desire,
to which fardistant place
do they desire to drift off?

You float me into mental winds,
and make me listen to the call of infinity.

The rays of the moon,
the smile of stars,
that loving flute,
all sing along in unison.

O Lord!
I have forgotten
when my journey started.

I do not remember
how many thorns I have stepped on.

In many an intense heat
did I get burned.
In many a heavy rain,
did I get drenched.

In many a beautiful autumn
I remained intoxicated
and sang a song full of earnestness.

In innumerable golden fields
did I smile
when winter passed.

In numerous cold nights
did I shiver
when icy snowfalls descended.

In many a floral heap
did I wander during springtime,
and danced full of impatience.

Much did I cry,
wounded by worries.
I became curved
by loads of pain.

Yet, I continued looking at You.
O my Lord!

O Lord,
You remain everengaged
in the colourful play
of Your nectarial flow.

Without tiredness nor fatigue
You pauselessly carry out work.

By the strength of Your own power
You dancingly rush forward,
from nucleus to periphery
and pull unto Yourself
those entities that lie far off.
You never get deviated by obstruction.

When stars and planets were not existing
and galaxies were not yet moving in cosmic space,
and even history could not record this distant past,
at that time

You existed as timeless entity.
You were present as entity without space,
as entity beyond the operative principle of Ma'ya'.

O Lord,
You brought about a touch of supreme energy,
and vibrated all the seven arenas of existence.

By delight and oscillation,
You made us forget all pangs of separation.
The envoy of light reappears again and again,
declaring its message with sweet assurance.
You came in the sunlight of the eastern horizon
and destroyed all darkness.

In Your voice, the trumpet blows.
The sun oscillates by Your expression.
The lotus of concsiousness blooms,
revolving in the light of intuition.

O Lord,
by Your inspiration,
the trees in the dry desert
bloomed with flowers.

The dead desert became fragrant,
colourful and soft,
something which I could never have imagined,
and cannot understand even now.

My broken heart started moving anew.
You are the embodiment of all.
You move everywhere.
Although You seem still,
You are fastmoving.

Make the ocean of effulgence restless,
and churn its sweet poles.

The dark night passes away,
the moonlit night returns.

One who is bent with the load of agonies today,
will tomorrow be under the effect of joy.

In lost and sweet memories,
in a garden full of fragrant songs,
at the end of whipafflicted painful nights,
come closer.

Torn rags disappear,
and flashes of light enter my dark heart.

One who is king today,
may tomorrow become indigent,
and today's indigent may be tomorrow's king.

You are total hope and love,
You are farthest even if staying close.
You do not want nor take anything,
You simply proceed bestowing incomparable love.

Your love is not acting
that is why You are my most beloved.
In the cave of my heart,
in the murmur of my mind,
You shine forth,
destroying darkness.

You are the sweetness in my defeated heart
and only my own,
O Lord, only my own.

You continue singing the message of liberation.

Into this expressed universe full of avidya',
You flow the stream of vidya'. You never accept defeat from any power
nor do You stop by any hindrance.

You never become distressed and keep on singing: Victory to Dharma!
You are without flaws,

You are full of consciousness, You are the basis of all
You are free from all desire.

O Lord of the shelterless
and shelter of the entire world,
why do You make everyone dance in millions of rhythms?
Tell me, what do You expect

from one into whose face You look?

My mind would have been ready in time
if Your intentions had been known.

The earth, bathed in light,
is full of beauty, fragrance and flow.
These factors would have liked to float
in the stream of Your divine game.

The six seasons come and go in rotation
with diversely decorated forms.
They would have attuned themselves to Your melody
had Your imagination been known.

where the end of Your path lies.

I am moving forward
and with the hope of attaining You
will continue to go on.

Above my head is a sky full of stars,
below my feet is a wearied and quivering earth.
The sweetly intoxicating breeze
is gently blowing and carrying fragrance.

I do not entertain sorrows of getting lost
nor joys of finding.
Of all hopes, only one ambition remains:
that I may come close to You.

For whom is my restless mind hankering
in rest, dream, sleep and awakened states?

Who is that magician that continues to call me?
The sandal breeze blows in all four directions.
By hand signals, effulgence invites itself
through the gaps of clouds.
Which distant melody are the floral pollen,
absorbed in sweet fragrance, singing?

My mind does not want to stay home;
it does not know
how it is to reply to its caller.
My concentrated, unexpressed consciousness within
wants to convey itself
and break asunder all obstructions.

Under smokeless light,

I string my garland.

You reside in my mental temple,
within the flooded streams of ideation.

Under the shade of leaves,
in lime flowers and lotus buds,
You let nectar flow.

I know that there is beginning after end.
I accept that beauty is located within the formless.
This is why I ever keep Your form

in the bud of my heart.

The game of light and shade
intoxicates my mind.

Crowds of boats come
and again float away.

I keep on sitting alone
on the bank of river.

Come close and smile with sweetness,
there is no recess
for more divine games (liila').

If You love me, sit beside me.
Do not play Your game of hide and seek
again and again anymore.

You remain unaffected by anything.

Today, in my garden, the bird sings.
On my thorny path, the ketakii flower blooms.
The sweetness-absorbed
and fragrant sandal breeze blows.

You came to gratify my heart.
In the cloudless sky stars smile.

What does the cuckoo sing

With what hope does the bee rush about?

Being singular,
how did You convert Yourself
into so many forms?

egoistic utterances,
eyes fixed on the greatest,
words entering the ears,

all these are but expressions of Your divine game.

My mind, running about,

It is not written down in history

With the first year,

joy came about.

Honey came into the flower first,

O Lord,
for fear of coming into fold,
You have become infinite,
there is nothing left for this to be understood.

You keep Yourself hidden
for fear of loosing Yourself
by mixing with all.

You are hidden in the sky,
in the ocean,
in the depths of the three arenas,
in the air
and in the mountains,
in galaxies, in distant nebula.

To Your love
there is no end.

You are hidden in the lines on leaves,
in intense rains, in the song of clouds,
in destructive fear,
in sweet consciousness,
and in my mental jewelcasket,

Yet, even after knowing this,
I forget.

when did I come out
to sing Your song?

I have forgotten that time
and the hue of my coloured thread of love.
By what inspiration and desire
did I continue to look forward?

Probably at that time
the darkness of clouds
or the intense current of flood prevailed.

Perhaps that day,
day and night,
no one was there to look at.

I might have cried out of fear
when looking at the thorns on the path.
Probably, ignoring danger, I moved forward.

You are the message of hope
to the distressed heart
and the shining moonlight
to a broken heart.

How many times did I get lost
and again returned?
How many times did I cry in pain
and again smiled with joy?

Without You there is neither song nor life,
in fact, no resource in the world stands without You.

In a colourful moment,
You came to me in royal adornments,
and then left again,
leaving me a pauper.

Yet, in distress,
You once more overflow with love
and remove my pain,
by wiping away my tears.

the pain of the distressed,
who else will?

O alleviator of afflictions,
during my hazards,
if not You comes to me
who else will?

All the stars and planets
move according to Your order.
The pole star smiles
as per Your direction.

By Your inspiration,
the sky and the air
are full of feelings of love.

Give me infinite and
immeasurable intuition,
and, with a smiling face,
liberate me.

For those who have none,
You are there,
and shall remain forever.

O Lord,
only You are able to understand Your liila' (divine game),
none one else knows it.

Not comprehending the divine play,
I shall aim at its controller,
the Purus'a (consciousness),
the basis of life.

Why does the sun
always rise in the east
and sets in the west,
floating in vermilion colour?

Why does a single moon smile in the sky
on dreamsurrounding moonlit nights?

Why does white snow lay its umbrella
on the high peaks of mountains?

Why did the colour of the sky become blue?

Why do emeralds radiate green beauty?

Songs will never cease.
In the world of melodies,
I am not alone.

The lamp of life,
is being kept on Your base.
It will never be extinguished.

All existing languages and melodies
have come from You.
All existing songs are Your gift.

The wheels of carts
move by Your greatness.

Your utterance in the great expression,
floats through the notes of melodies,
floats through the musical octave.

Infinite time remains submerged in bliss
in Your consciousness.

I do not want anything from You,
as demanding from You is equal to death.

In Your beauty,
melody and sweet love,
attuning myself to Your rhythm,
I shall sing Your song.

You applied the ointment of knowledge
onto my drowsy eyes.
As its after effect,
I now bathe
in the infinite ocean of salvation.

In Your rhythm, tune,
and loving attraction,
my heart charged with Your melody,
I continue my voyage.

yet, my heart constantly remembers Him.

My mind does not remain home.
Time passes by,

O Lord,
hear my question to You!
O heartless one, listen!

Why do living beings come (to this world) crying,
if they cannot survive smilingly?

Why do insects destroy flowers
and honey is eaten up by blackbees?

Why is laughter not sold in the marketplace
and why does the infant cry round the clock?

Why are some people unable to satisfy their hunger,
while others eat by wasting even rich food?

Why does the beauty of evenings call me by hand signals,
whereas nights are deeply dark?

Why does the mind move towards an undesirable path
when You are ever present?

Who is that who keeps singing along

calling me by name
with sweetness and affection?

He keeps on rushing and dancing
without being asked to,
and observes me from a distance.

He remains mingled with the rain clouds,
with the winter sky
and the gentle breeze.

He is incomparable,
lying in the intense idea of consciousness,
unable to be caught even by playing tricks on Him.

In the cold and snowy prewinter wind,
in the inertia of winter,
in the breeze of spring,
in the floral fragrance on mango tree branches
during summer storms,
in the honey in floral fragrances,
He remains.

O Lord,
by Your attraction
the stream of my life flows on.

It rushes on,
dancing in waves of various rhythms to Your song.

I moved forward
kissing innumerable hard rocks.
I moved through pebbles, lumps,
and forests full of thorns.

I never found
the end of my journey towards You.

I witnessed
plain and simple lives,
felt the restlessness of the heart,
observed the reverberations
that originate from developing villages,
heard the intense silence of markets after closure,
came to know the agonies of distressed hearts,

and saw the history embedded in funeral ashes.

I move on with all,
on the journey of Your love.

In the life and mind
that were given by You,
show me Your real form
in dreamlike vibrations.

The restless stream
that originates from its fountain,
rushes out in search of You.

Today, it does not want anything.
It moves in the sole hope of attaining You.
Let its desire be fulfilled.

When the dawn smiles
at the end of a dark night,
and the crimson morning
scatters its colourful light,
into that effulgence,
let all merge.

O Lord,
on this autumn morning,
intoxicating my mind
with the fragrance of the shefalii flower,
You entered my heart.

Into the halfdried up stream of my life,
You aroused tides of inspiration.

You made pollen shiver
by filling them
with the sweetness of the morning hue.

Pouring flows into my dry impulse,
You came with an intense song.

Neither fear of getting lost,
nor ending pause remains.

No such thought lingers on
to frighten us,
for, all end lies in the flow of time.

................................................................

You have come in the autumn dawn
to make my mind mad
with the fragrance of the shephalii flower.
You came to bring about a new flow
into my life, halfalive,
and to provide me with inspiration.

You filled the pollen of my life with endless joy.
The morning colour is laden with sweetness.
You came with deep songs,
absorbing us in Your flow.

There is no fear of getting lost,
neither is there scope to become extinct.
No such thought is there
that could make us frightened.
The end will come in the stream of time.

O Lord,
while coming to ask for You,
I mistakenly asked for Your boon.

I went to get the ocean,
but instead, I got a drop of salty water only.

I did not understand
the difference between animate and inanimate.
I did not learn to differentiate between
what is pleasure and what is beneficial.

I considered myself wise
for getting the fruit
and leaving aside the tree itself.

Whatever You have given me with Your right hand,
You have taken away with Your left hand.

At the end of all desires and attainments,
on a final check, remains only nil.

You know that today I am with You,
I do not ask for anything,
for, it is Your flute that sings this message.

O Lord,
with Your joy and by Your touch,
the earth today started smiling.

In Your rhythm and bliss,
the earth expresses its love by anouncing: "I love You".
In the flow of Your grace and blessings,

the dark fog lifted in mere fractions of time.

Those trying to extinguish Your light vanished away,
and, along with them, heaps of sin.

Thoughts lying suppressed
in the imaginary flower of the mind,
today desended down into the core of mortals.

The kindling of light on earth
merged into the seven realms
and played its flute in unison with all.

................................................................

The entire creation is smiling
in Your touch and happiness,
and in rhythm and bliss it proclaims:
"I love You, I love You alone".

By Your blessings, in Your flow,
the blackness of the dark and foggy night has vanished.
The reactions of sinful acts,

that caused Your light to be dimmed,
have disappeared.

Once supressed thoughts
are now blooming in flowery imagination.

You sing along in that same tune.
In the light, kindled by Your flute,
all become one
with the lokas of the seven worlds.

You are best of all.

You filled all with affection.
You poured into all the essence of nectar.
You destroyed all dark dirt.

On the high peak of generosity,
with the soft sweetness of murmuring,
beyond pitch darkness,
You are the singular and awakened illumination.

You are the message of hope
to broken hearts.
You are the sweet and soothing clourful wick
in the mouth of the infant.
You pour the joy of attainment
into the heart of a complete pauper.

O Lord,
as You have today called me,
how can I stay home?

I cannot understand
what magic pervades Your melody.
In sleep, while awake and in dream
Your flute constantly resounds
in my mental arena.

I want to avoid You but,
as You are seated in my heart,
how would that be possible?

I know only little about musical octaves.
You remain beyond it all, O Lord!
By Your rhythm, song and blissful melody,
You immerse me in higher realms,
transcending this world.

................................................................

It is difficult to stay in the house today,
as You have called me.
It is hard for me to realise,
how You are playing magic
in Your ragas and raginiis.

Your flute sings on continously in my mind,
in sleep, dream
and my awakened state of mind.
I want to see You sitting in my heart.
But how is it practically feasible?
Please tell me.

Whatever I know about musical scales is as nothing.
You are beyond the reach of it all.
Your songs and rhythms bring bliss,
and transcend me beyond all lokas.

come and sit in my home,
illuminating everything.

By Your touch,
all accumulated restlessness
is blown far away.

In the eastern sky when light radiates,
Your sweetness smiles in water and earth.
Your descend and infinite love
fills my mind and heart.

In the firmament of my mind,
with full illumination,
when I see with sweet impulse,
all my meanness and shortcomings
start dancing around Your greatness.

................................................................

You came into my house
and sat down, enlightening everything.
By Your touch, all pollution disappeared.

When Your sweetness laughs
in the land, in the water
and in the eastern horizon's light,
my life and mind become filled
with Your infinite love.

When, in sweet absorption,
I see Your form
in my heart,
all narrowness and imperfection
merge in and start dancing to Your greatness.

O my distant friend,
have You forgotten me?

Whom is my lost heart continuously searching?

The bulbul bird does not come
in the floral garden anymore.
The bee does not sit on the floral garland.

And yet, I remain seated, with unknown hopes.
Who is it You call with tinkling sounds?

In action You remain busy day and night,
ever engrossed in the intoxication of work.
Amidst action only I find Your love
and in it, my search for You is maintained.

O Lord,
loving You,
I float into an unknown world.
Today, in pain and pleasure,
I have filled my yard with melodies.

With attentive and eager eyes,
I have been looking at You day and night.
Into Your endless arena,
my vision gets lost.

Come, come close,
and, with love, sit beside me.

If You wish,
You may forget me,
but do not forget that I love You only.

................................................................

O Lord!
To which unknown world
am I carried away by Your love?

Today, I am filled with Your love.
I remain on Your lap,
in Your tune,
and also in Your pains and pleasures.

In which distant horizon,
where only Your infinite loka exists,
did my eyes get lost when visualising You?
With ardent desire,
day and night,
I kept forsaking sleep?

Please come closer,
and sit beside me.
If You wish to forget,
You may forget everything,
but do not forget that I love only You.

O Lord,
Your sweet smile floats into the universe.
Rushing with essence of nectar,
it approaches an unknown heaven.

You have swung the divine realm
and made the physical world forget itself.
Looking ahead with non-blinking eyes,
what is it You desire to attain?

Without paying heed to whatsoever direction,
You float on day and night, vibrating minds and hearts.

You pervade the living and non-living worlds,
stable and moving entities,
and the blue sky.

You remain seated in all minds,
singing with sweet resonnance.

O Lord,
with flashes of lightning in the clouds,
You came in the dark night.

With unbound love and hope,
You smiled in my mental mirror.

I had been looking at the material world only,
enjoying pleasures in inertness.
I never looked at You even once,
I did not see that You had returned back.

I was intoxicated in the sentiment of self,
loving only selfish thinking.
I did not think that I too am but Your imagination,
for, You exist as the essence of all essences.

O Lord,
I recognised You
riding on a bright charriot of effulgence,
in the flow of the distant heaven.

You came floating.
You awakened waves beyond darkness,
and sung songs in the tune of intuition.

You bloomed flowers in the upward flow of my heart,
You came down on this earth.

You do not bear unjust discriminations.
You do not accept distinctions between high and low.

No shortcoming do I find in You,
and therefore forever bow unto Your feet.

................................................................

I remember You.
I could well recognise You
when You came in a divine flow,
sitting on a chariot of white light.

You raised waves
on the other side of the ocean,
and sung songs,
that were filled with the jingling sound of divine realisation.
You came down unto this earth

and, by the touch of Your heart,
made flowers bloom.

You do not discriminate between high and low.
Narrow-mindedness can have no quarter in You.
That is why I ever bow down unto Your feet.

O my distant friend, come close,
why do You remain far away and alone?

Your victory bugle resounds,
constantly announcing that You belong to all.
Day and night, I am awake for Your arrival.
I am unable to bear this pain any longer.

Clouds drift away
over mountain peaks, and, in the form of water,
return back to the sea.

Do not stay afar, come close.
Let our meeting start in proximity.

................................................................

O my distant companion, come near,
why do You remain afar?

Your victorious drum resounds.
I hear that You are for everybody.
Yet, day and night I await You.
I can't bear this pain anymore.

Clouds float far away,
moving from the ocean onto the mountains.
Yet, in the form of rain,
they again return to the ocean's heart.

Like the cloud,
do not remain far away -
come back, come near to me.
Let me begin to look at You from a close distance.

O Lord,
bypassing thunders and meteorites,
let us move forward
towards the auspicous world of light.

We shall not fear the thorns on our path,
but uproot and cast them aside.

On our way, how many insects disturb?
In our vicinity, how many devils dance?
Only those who have made their objective a target,
attain their goal.

Although the path is difficult,
we shall trample over obstacles and move on.

The path treaded by wise persons in the past,
has left a flow of bliss.
On that path shall we move,
conveying to all the new message.

on a stormy night You entered my alert eyes.

You removed my fear
and told me:

"Do not worry,
I am with you,
I stay with you."

You opened the door that was closed,
and removed its bolt with Your own hands.
You prepared Your own seat,
and sat down in that awful and dark night.

My heart shivered by the charm of this experience.
In my mind it occurred that this period,
should linger on beyond the limitation of time
and not pass away under any cicumstance.

O Lord,
You expressed Yourself
in a variety of colours and forms,
the names of which remain unknown.

You radiated waves of effulgence
into the deep and dark well.

By difusing particles
of the effulgence with which You swung the heavens,
You enchanged the world.

You aroused tinkling sounds in every mind
and bloomed in them as a new niipa flower.
The flow of mercy released today,
inundates all mortal minds.

You filled expression,
into dull and dumb faces.
And therefore, with incence and lamp,
we worship You.

........................................................................

You blossomed in an unknown colour and form;
You spread a wave of light into the well of gloom.

In that significance You have swung the celestial world;
only a particle of that vibration makes the earth forget itself.
You brought a jingling sound into the hearts of all.
You became manifested in a new form,

You became manifested in a new form.

A stream of compassion pours forth today,
overflowing the human mind
and filling the tongues of the ignorant and speechless
with sweet words.

They welcome You with lamp and incense.

and cover me with the shade of love.
The seven spheres of the universe
are not outside You.
You know all my qualities and defects.

Today, I surrender myself completely.
I just want a wee bit of Your grace
and a compassionate look of Yours.

For ages, throughout lifetimes,
I had been moving along the wrong path.
Today, having understood my mistake,
I rectified my error for the first time.

I wish to offer You all my actions and thoughts
and not keep anything to myself.

Forever stay on the lotus of my heart,

The sun that has set

The fragrance of flowers that drop below the tree,

The night, after its arrival,

Yet, in Your mind all is forever maintained.

Your divine game is carried out in light and darkness.
And in their shades,

You keep surrounding me.

By Your song, nectar flows.

Distant ones have come close
and have become our own.
Into everything, You have scattered Your mind.

By wisdom and intuition, You opened our eyes

You spread Yourself throughout the universe,
forgetting all binding lines of demarcation.

and the tune that was hidden in my heart...
their charm still lingers on.

It carries everyone
and makes all dance,
in the rhythm of infinite intoxication
all become mad.
What have You done today!
You conquered everyone's mind and heart.

Today, my overflowing heart is very defiant
and the moving current overflows all hindrances.
You have attracted me.
You have brought everyone near to You,

on that dark night's forehead.

Except for the sound of pouring rain
everything was quiet,
and You stood beside me,
O embodiment of consciousness!

Your coming and going took place in darkness,
our acquaintance also was likewise made in the dark.

You came with a lamp in hand.
On account of this
You came into my fold,

O Lord,
the fragrance of that path
on which You came,
lingers on it even to this day.

The smile that You scattered,
that vibration dances on even today.

You came through fragrant songs,
rhythms and melodies,
and became mingled with all life.

Why did You gaze at me?
In the core of my heart
that attraction of Yours still persists.

I asked for a wee bit of Your grace,
and attained it.
My ultimate achievement rests in You.

The consequence of this attainment
has not faded away even to this day.

With the hope of achieving it again only, I survive.

O Lord,
You swung the world
and entered into its life.

You came down to this world,
for the upliftment of the neglected.

By the swing that You gave,
all creepers, leaves and flowerpollen,
began to sing.

Due to that influence
You descended, filling the earth with beauty.
Into that beauty You filled sweet melodies.

By Your life, all attained their life.
By Your effulgence,
the world became illuminated.

You awakened the consciousness of those neglected
and made all understand that none is insignificant.
And into this awakening, Your nectar flows on.

O Lord,
after listening to my invocation
You finally came.
You are the heavenly, all-granting tree.

Although I am but a dry desert,
You took Your place in my heart.
In front of You
I surrender myself.

I offer You whatever is mine.
Whatever, for so long,
I had considered my own
is now offered to You.

In the far blue sky
Your beauty is expressed,
and mingles with the fragrant sandal breeze.

Whatever distance may exist
between You and me,
let there be an end to it today.

Whatever I have given You is nothing.
Whatever I have received from You
is inexhaustible and immeasurable.

By virtue of Your own quality,
You understand my internal feelings
and fill them with melody.

By Your rhythm and song,
by Your incomparable melody,
You energise the entire world.

........................................................................

O Lord,
hearing my call,
You came, You came!

You are Kalapatru
(a whishing tree that gives everything You ask for).
whereas I am but a dry desert.

You took Your seat in my heart.
I surrendered myself to You.
I surrendered my everything - whatever I possessed.

Whatever I had for so long as mind -
that much I did not surrender to You.

In the distant blue sky,
in Your smile,
in the breeze,
the flow of Your charming love lingers on.
Whatever distance there is between us,
let there be an end to it today.

Whatever I gave was nothing.
What I got is endless.
There can be no measuring of it.

With Your greatness,
please touch my heart.
With Your songs,
remove the pain in it.
With Your melodies,
fill the universe with new life.

The days of Vraja are gone.
Gopa'l of Vraja has left His home.

The sweetness of Vraja
has spread throughout the world,
and has illuminated it.

Yet, in Vraja the ladies
do not light lamps in the evenings,
and in rainy seasons,
the niipa flower does not bloom.

The ladies of Vraja
now do not put on vermilion marks
on their forehead,
but instead, silently weep.

The boys of Vraja have stopped playing.
Their cows do not eat grass anymore.

The shy deer
with enchanting black but sweet eyes
are not seen anymore.

The milkmaids do not churn curd
as they constantly look for the butterstealer.
Bereft of waist ornaments
they today, beat their heads.

my flower withered away.

The decoration mark

Where in my mental mirror are You?

I hear the sound of Your footsteps
but do not know,
whether or not You came,
at this last moment.

Ignoring the thorns I stamped on,
in my mind, I continue carrying Your ideation.

The feelings of my heart overwhelm
but do not get the chance to express themselves.

Come in royal adornments,
come with sweet impulse
and illuminate my heart without reservation.

By sweetly playing His flute
and by a sweet smile,
who is He who won my mind?

He comes to me without being called,
and doesn't come,
if I call Him.
What beautiful string of love binds us!

Unprecedented is the look
in His eyes and His sweet face.

And in an unprecedented way,
He filled the world with beauty,
and brought about agitation
in the ocean of effulgence.

By holding on to His clean lotus feet
I tolerate hundreds and hundreds of blames.
I do not fear even death
for His altar resides above it all.

O Lord,
all my aspirations centre around You.
All my thoughts are directed unto You only.

By bestowing illumination,
You destroy intense darkness.
You love unconditionally.

Those wishing to avoid You,
also have a place in Your mind.

With those who cannot forget You,
You maintain Your conversation.

By Your illusive divine game
You created the world.
From beyond the scope of ma'ya',
You provide inspiration.

You keep everyone absorbed
in various colours and forms,
and yet, You indicate the ultimate aim.

To obstruct You,
the sinners conspire in every era.

With a smiles that sheds pearls,
whatever He does is done with benevolence.

Removing drowsiness with sweet melodies,
colouring life with the moonlight,
bringing down rain with a pull of love,
He floats in everyone's heart.

He knows how to love all without inhibition.
He does not discriminate between black and white.
He fills all with unbound affection.

rainfalls are shed,
and, with that water,
everyone's heart floods adrift.

He knows how to love and makes no distinctions.
He does not care whether one is black or white.
He fills everyone with the endless love
that ever emanates from Him.

I do not know whether or not You love me,

Other than You nothing else is to be known.

And therefore to You alone my salutations are directed

You exist invisibly in all three worlds.
You poured forth the stream of heaven.
In eternity You move with all,
without ever becoming tired nor stopping.

I constantly bid salutations (pranam) to You.

You always remain in the three lokas.
You have merged Yourself

please come into my mind.
Come in rhythm, songs
and in sweet atmosphere.
Come when I am alone.

The flow of tunes moves on with sweetness.
You only are my goal, none else.
Ideation is embedded in this flow,
and, unhindered by my interfering,
finds expression in divine realms.

In Your thought
my days pass by.
Pleasures and pains
become one with You,
become one with Your form and melody.

O Lord,
giver of all fruits of my desires,
In deep contemplation
I become one with You.

O Lord,
with the waves of melodies,
with enchanting hues,
how did You colour the world?
Please tell me.

With sweet limbs,
in charming bendings,
You continue playing Your divine sport with all.

In moonlit nights
and in the crimson hue of golden dawns,
You intoxicate the world.

With cupped palms,
full of campaka buds,
You touch everyone
and make them Your own.

With rhythm,
You vibrate the psychic arena.
With rainbow colours,
You paint the sky.

You remain hidden
behind everything,
Your divine game is wonderful.

You lie hidden in all expression,
Your divine game marvels me.

O Lord,
the bakula flowers have all withered away.

The lamp of hope has become extinguished.
The fragrances of flower pollen
have drifted away.

Your divine game goes on
in light and shade.
You constantly play with all.
Sometimes You fill us with honey,
sometimes You take away our everything.

Now that the flowers
have withered away,
I shall get fruits.

The wheels of Your cart
go on revolving continuously.
But joy and sorrow alternate.

As I know the cause that lies behind it all,
I am not surprised.

Look, the bakula flowers that withered
have again taken shape in Your garland.

You did not see

My sorrowful mind
wants to come close to You, but cannot move.

The Yamuna' river of my heart has dried up.
My inner strings have broken.
The pain of not attaining You
expressed itself in eyes filled with tears.
But You did not understand it.

You just moved on
with the rhythms of dance, ignoring my estranged heart.

Flushing away my tear drenched words,
You do not listen
to the words of my inner heart.

You brought to me the honey of affection,
only to fill me with the illumination of ideation.

You filled me with unending vivacity

You never want nor take anything, and although You know
the hundreds of defects in me,

You don't treat me inferior.

You gave instructions to follow a straight path.
You flowed a current of effulgence,
and kindled an infinite number of lamps.

O Lord,
You came to my home
but why did You leave?

If You had in mind to go away quickly,
why did You come in the first place?

As the stars flash in the cosmos,
so did You illuminate thousands of rubies.

Circling around me,
they all wonder
why I let You go,
they all desire
You to come again.

The night jasmine flower cries
and is smeared with dust.
Under the load of dewdrops
it is unable to speak.

The lotus flower does not bloom
in the pond anymore
but cries even now.

........................................................................

O Lord,
O Madhupa!
Please come closer to me.

You see, my honey is slowly disappearing.
You are the moon of the sky,
whereas I am but a lamp.
In the blueness of the great sky
my light fades away.

My accumulated honey is for You only,
O companion!
It is a recollection of every moment.
My deprived heart longs only for You.
It anxiously awaits You each and every moment.

You did not come to sustain me.
Yet, thinking of stories of You,
my mind rushes towards limitlessness.

In this great sky
the flame of my hope is very insignificant.
Yet, You know my love is not negligible.

You did not come to love me,
You did not come to let me know
that nothing ever disappears.

My collection of honey,
accumulated moment after moment,
O friend, is for You only.

My deprived heart,
constantly restless,
wants only You.

You did not come
nor did You allow me to come near You.

Thinking of You,
my mind rushes off unto infinity.

In the great cosmos,
the lamp of my hope is very meagre.
Yet, it is not insignificant.
Know it to be my love.

You did not come to love me.
You did not make me understand
that nothing ever ends either.

O Lord,
in which past, with the sweetness of mind
did You created this beautiful world?

By Your intutive power,
O cosmic ocean,
the stars started shining in the blue sky.

By the force of Your mental wind,
my boat floats upstream without inhibition.

In Your cyclic illusive game,
by Your illusive playful expression,
You filled energy
into each and every pore.

You existed in past,
You exist in present,
and You keep drawing the sketch of the future.

You are song and love of all.
In sweet remembrance,
You enter into all hearts.

You kindle light in each mind.

that You are the glittering nucleus of all love.

You arrived like a cool breeze and smiled.

In the adornments of fierce wars,
in the desert fire,
in thunderous sounds
in raucous shouting,
You filled the sweetness of flowers.

The dry grass wept

It wept silently and tearlessly in isolation.

After losing everything,
You bestowed the joy of attainment,

O Lord,
on which cart did You leave,
piercing my heart,
and churning the core of my being?

In the distant blue sky,
in wind,
in fire,
in which distant and shadowy path?

You came in a flash of light
and came alone.
You won the heaven of my heart.

With Your own hands
You kindled a dreamlamp
in my utterly black heart.

You went away,
leaving behind a sweet fragrance.
You opened up my blinded eyes
by marking a line of illumination.

With the sweet and loving memory
of that gentle breeze
I survive,
day and night.

Unknown traveler,
I love You.

You pour into this earth
the effulgence of life,
and destroy deep darkness.

The seven colours
of the sun's cart,
that shine in the eastern sky,
are the colours of Your mind.

The form, that rises into eyes floating,
is the expression of everyone's smile.

Into the heart of the inertia stricken earth,
You filled a shiver of light
that spread forth in a multitude of directions.

You move on smiling,
awakening the earth,
and floating adrift into the endless cosmos.

........................................................................

Unknown companion,
I love You.
You shower the earth with the effulgence of life.
You annihilate cimmerian darkness.

On the solar chariot of seven colours,
on the eastern horizon,
the beatitude of Your mind charms my eyes.
Indeed is it the joy of all lives.

On the bosom of the earth,
which was spoiled by static drowsiness,
You emanate waves of effulgence.

In all directions,
You continue awaking,
and with Your laughter,
flood this endless cosmos.

O formless Lord,
awaken Yourself
as a shining and beautiful form,
disseminating a steady effulgence.

In the expectation of Your attainment,
numerous living beings,
day and night,
with sleepless eyes, remain awake.

I send out my salutation
in the form of songs.
I salute towards the eastern hills,
on this crimson dawn,
where I would expect Your arrival.

Come secretly,
come silently by foot,
with a lotus flower
holding its stem in Your cupped palms.

I heard of Your attributes
in the scriptures.
With my eyes,
I see the outline of Your beauty.

I love You.
Pour more illumination into me,
and fulfill my being
by making me Your own.

What sort of illusory web did You create?

You left, taking with You the core of my being
and not pronouncing the last word.

The distant nebula is painted with sandal paste.
It is there
that my mental peacock spreads its wings.

What sort of nectar did You pour,
into the garden of words, into each and every bush
and into mental temples?

Come into the frenzied wind
that my mental bee may rush unto You.

The lost memories of my past,
I shall offer You.

O eternal bestower,
You float all pains of my heart into the unlimited.

if You love me,
come.

Should You start considering
my good and bad qualities,
You won't find even the trace
of any good quality,
because there is no trace
of whatsoever good quality in me.

My garden is full of thorns;
there are no flowers in it,
only numerous buds.

If You come,
those buds will bloom,
and in their petals,
You may dwell.

I have neither attachment nor love.
The pollen of my life
does not float in the air.

By Your touch,
they will vibrate,
and, in their fragrance,
You shall smile with delight.

with drowsy eyes,
I saw You
in the reflection of Your light.

On that illuminated night,
there was no one
to sit near You
nor to communicate with.

You opened the bolts of my windows
and entered the room,
infusing it with new life.

The intense darkness
that I was dwelling in,
became filled with the beauty of illumination.

You told me that all are Yours
and that there should be no reason
for wasting one's time crying.

One whose tears flow on ceaselessly,
is to cry for the attainment of his/her goal only.

O Lord,
I loved only You,
I know that You are my essence.

I dance only as per Your rhythm,
I do not know anybody else.

In the vine yard of my mind,
fruits and flowers hang about in bunches.

Bees humm in groups
and nectar flows.

Come closer,
this lamp of my life
cannot bear any further delay.
You are the lamp of my life.

Whatever melodies exist in the cosmos,
and whatever tunes may be attached to them,
all lie situated within Your mind.
For, You are the very life of all.

O Lord,
I float in the resonance of nectar.
I sing my song in Your tune.
I remain intoxicated by Your vision.
I want to attain the top of golden peaks.

There are no thorns in Your flower
and no retraction (tide) in Your sweetness.
In Your floral garden,
flower buds never wither.

All proclaim eye to eye
that other than You, nothing exists.
You smile in the moonlight
and float in floral fragrance.

Filling all with heartfelt sweetness,
You speak the language of the infinite.
I remember only You.
I see Your effulgence
and float on towards You only.

You aroused from the ocean of effulgence,
and removed the darkness of inertia.

You created regulations
for the welfare of all
and entered into everyone's mind.

You smile in the beauty and taste
of fruits and flowers
and open up the path of progress.

O eternal attempter of benevolence,
You explained all facts
to the mankind of this world.

You will never allow the dissolution
of the universe to take place.
This creation will never end.

Coming and going,
again and again,
all round creation and destruction...
amidst it all, You keep announcing
that You equally love all.

During this intense rain,
on what confidence,
did You make me leave my home?

All flowers have withered away,
only thorns remain lying.
My floral garden has lost its fragrance.

Into my dried up mental river
why did You flow an upstream current?
Please tell me.

The festival of light moved far away,
darkness wrapped up my all.
Into this snatched life of mine,
into my void vitality,
why did You pour new light?
Please tell me.

..............................................................

On the viina of my heart,
with new charm,
what a wonderful ragini have You played?

In the showering rain,
with what hopes
have You called me out of my home?
Why?

The flower petals have fallen off,
only thorns are left.
My flower garden has lost its fragrance.
Yet, in the flowless river of my mind,
why did You flood an upstream current?

The celebrations of light spread far and wide.
Layers of darkness vanished away.
Into my robbed life,
into my empty heart,
why did You shower brightness of novelty?

You came from beyond the ocean of darkness
into the festival of beauty.

Radiating effulgent expressions,
You smiled in the descent of intution.

What was confined to heaven
now belongs to all.
Everyone's heart overflows with bliss,
floating in the current of melody.

You came with love,
filling thought into language.

Come into my hut,
come slowly,
very slowly,
vibrating Your feeling in systaltic ways.

..........................................................................

Crossing the ocean of darkness,
You have come in the grandeur of forms.
You have laughed within the reflection of light,
You have smiled in the descent of bliss.

Whatever was beyond reach,
now belongs to all.
Overflowing all hearts with bliss,
You are afloat in the stream of melodies.

You have come in the form of love,
giving language to unspoken ideas.

O, Lord!
Please come softly into my heart,
very softly, vibrating with waves.

You eternally remain,
pervading all

In the assembly of stars,
in distant nebulae,
You radiate effulgence,
enacting Your fanciful game.

In seclusion,
You enter all minds.
In seclusion,
You create and destroy.

You came into my mind
through the eastern mountains,
colouring it
and filling it with melody and tune.

You turned my heart restless
with Your rhythm.

Attuning my viin'a' to musical octaves,
sitting on the lotus of my heart,
engrossing Yourself in intutive ideas,
in an arena beyond thought,
which tune did You pour on me?

As far as I can see with open eyes,
other than You,
I do not find anyone anywhere.

Eyes closed
when I look inside my heart,
I see Your divine game
taking place each and every moment.

O Lord,
who does not know
that You filled force into all types of love?

You filled tunes into songs,
accepted by all.

When there was nothing
in this created world,
only cimmerian darkness existed
amidst nonstop festivity.

You brought about vibrations
into the lingering night,
as fountains in dream.

In good and bad,
in auspicious and inauspicious,
in the fragrance of flowers,
and in the dirty dust of the earth,
in the chirping of birds,
in emptiness,
You enter my mind,
as first thing in my existence.

You entered
into my hearing, thinking and meditation.

..........................................................................

In Your love all are filled with life.
Who does not know this?
Who does not know?
You have brought new tunes into songs,
for all to enjoy.

When there was nothing in this world
and, due to static darkness,
festivities were nonexistent,
into that night,
You brought new waves,
like streams of effulgence in dreams.

Mortal, immortal,
auspicious, inauspicious,
flowers' fragrance,
dust of dirty earth or tattle of birds,
in the absence of all these,
You enacted a first expression,
descending down to psychic realms.

You appeared in sounds,
incantations and contemplations,
at the end of the dark period of night.

with the tune of Your melody,
into the shade of my mental garden,
an untimely spring arrived.

With the force of Your song,
and the reverse flow of love,
an overflowing current
of Your stream spread forth.

In this violent environment
I sit,
looking towards the path,
in expectation of Your arrival.

Come quickly!
The impatient earth has bloomed flowers
to welcome You.

In Your sweet meditation,
thought and rememberance,
my mind becomes filled

Without You, my viin'a' remains mistuned.
Come closer and smile softly,
and with Love, take me on an auspicious path.

whenever Your eyes are free,
unbound by other people's image,
allow me to come near Your feet.

Whenever You not think of the sun, of planets and stars,
come down into the lotus of my heart.

All the sweetness of my heart,
I have carefully kept collected for You.
Come slowly into the depth of my mind,
crossing the dry and rugged path.

My reactive momenta (sam'skaras)
pull me from behind.

on my forward movements.

Knowing You will remove those obstacles
by showering but a wee bit of Your grace,
I surrender myself to You.

look at Your intoxicating illusion
unable to find peace.
Your light, only Your light removes all darkness
and brings supreme peace into my heart.

Even though You do not come close to me,
You attract me.
What kind of tie is this that binds me?
Your smile, only Your smile
makes me forget all my pain
and refreshes my mind.

today in spring,
into my floral garden,
who are You who came
with an intoxicated mind?

In the world of disappointments
in the corner of my mind,
what did You say
to rectify my mistakes?

Expressing Your welcoming,
the papiya bird sings its song.

The pala'sh tree / flower is watching
with colour applied on its eyes.

In the hue of that colour,
the earth remains beautified
and illuminates all.
It looks at You with heartfelt satisfaction.

Today, in sweet ideation,
affection scatters about.

Eyes, expanded in bewilderness, look on.
My heart, full of love overflowing nectar,
keeps creating its sweetnesssmeared songs.

O Lord,
You came to my home without informing me.
What sort of love is this?

Even without asking You to do so,
You nonetheless spoke to me.
What dreamy love is this?

My defeated heart lay about neglected.
My recurring nights came restlessly.

Then, my fully quenched thirst smiled in delight.

You came to me
after such long time,
floating in floral pollen.
I wonder for whom is meant
all this mercy of Yours?

And yet, why did You create deceptions?
Tell me whether or not You love me.

Why did You remain afar?
Due to what displeasure?
Tell me.

O Lord,
You honoured me,
by loving me.
You certainly did not consider well,
me being merely a tiny particle.

In Your floral garden,
I am a particle in the stem.

You are great amongst the greatest,
I am an atom amongst particles.

I remain bound by charecteristics,
You are great beyond all attributes.

I resemble the glow of fire flies,
You... the great sun in the sky.

I am a faint jingling sound of anklebells,
You embody of the great sound of trumpets.
I float in a world of forms,
You are the great one beyond all form.

O Lord,
I love You reservationlessly,
even wearing a crown of thorns.

However tough the path may be,
I shall go moving on towards You
with firm footsteps,
trampling over stones.

Today, I have no other duty
than carrying out Your work.
I have nothing else but You to talk about.

I shall hold strong power
and imbibe vast capacities,
denouncing the demons.

Even if the fog of disappointments
should cover me,
my movement on the path will not stop.

Taking Your name,
keeping You in my heart,
I shall move on without fear.

..........................................................................

I loved You wholeheartedly,
and wore a crown of thorns.

Whatever may confront me on my path,
I shall go on with courage,
advancing towards You.

Today, there is no other work to do
than to follow Your call.
Today, there are no other words to listen to
except those narrating stories of Your glory.

You are strong, mighty
and capable of annihilating demons.

Should I ever become surrounded
by a mist of hopelessness,
I will not stop on my path.
I will go on fearlessly,
reciting Your name,
keeping You in my heart always.

I dare not look at You.

I want to remain seated,
holding Your feet.
Yet, in dilema I cannot.

In which distant past,
in which dark night,
did You hold my hand
and made me cross the difficult path?
This event, I cannot forget.

How many days passed by?
How many eras have gone?
How many stars in the blue sky
faded away untimely?

That old memory,
that love of Yours,
remains alive til today.

That lost memory,
that immortal song,
I long to keep in my heart.

In the morning light,
You decorate Yourself with colourful costumes.

Amidst the evening stars,
You dance in cosmic rhythm.

For me,
this much is sufficient charity from You.

O Lord,
You remain resonant
amidst the melody of birds near me.

O controller of the world,
You express Yourself
in the dance of peacocks
amidst clouds.

You fill my life
with the illumination of Your beauty.

I offer You all my good,

Whatever I give,
I offer like sandal fragrance.
Though meager,
please accept it.
O adored one by the world!

I am aware

Let darkness remain with me,
I shall decorate You with the adornment of light.

O remembered one by all,
even should my offering be small,
keep it at Your feet.

O Lord,
on the occasion of this great festival of lights,
why should You be absent?

Why should the groups of bees,
hovering over the lotus shrub,
not be visible?

You are the star of everyone's eyes.
You are the essence of light
in the beauty of the pearl garland.

Within sandal breeze,
in the great blue sky,
Your thoughtwaves find expression.

You are the jeweler
in the sweetness of mind.

You are the garland of effulgence
in the dark fog.

You spread about the nectar of bliss,
remaining ever absorbed
in song, rhythm and dance.

He radiates a beautiful effulgence.

Spreading the ebb of joy,

He moves on.

He is advancing.
Indeed, He is advancing,

You are the very life of this great universe.

Whatever was,
whatever now exists,
is all Your gift.

With Your beauty,
the world is filled,
losing itself in rhythm and melody.

Wherever I see,
I find none but You.
In Your beauty
all become beautified.

With Your effulgence
my heart is filled,
losing itself
in Your love smeared song.

Whatever I know or understand,
is so by virtue of Your grace.
Due to Your attributes
all attain their respective characteristics.

so why should I remain aside You?

If You are the remover of sorrow,
why should I remain full of it?

I do not want comforts but peace.
I do not want blessings but grace.

I just want a small shelter for my head.
I do not want a garland of pearls nor a closed prison.

You are great,
I am a meagre.

I am the snow,
You are the stern divinity.

By Your touch
my body melts as if water.
A colourful earth
is what I long for.

I constantly float in the flow of Your divine play.

Sometimes, You seem far away,
sometimes, You come very near.

Sometimes, sitting on my eyelids
during meditation (dhya'na),
You appear to me
and illuminate the dark night.

Day and night,
I wish I would find You
in the innermost recesses of my mind.

Sometimes, darkness surrounds me
and makes me restless with tears.

Then, my heart cries out in agony,
and I find myself,
as it were,
far away from You.

..........................................................................

In the flow of Your play,

Sometimes You go far away,
sometimes You come close.

Sometimes You come and,

You come, illuminating darkness.

I wish You were,
day and night,
always in my mind.

Sometimes darkness surrounds me
and I anxiously shed tears.

Then my painful heart dies,
and weeps,
thinking it is far away from You,
thinking it is far away.

O Lord,
is there no place for me in Your heart?
Tell me.

If there is no room in it,
how can I be protected?
Tell me.

You are the controller
of the great cosmic mind,
there is no end to You.

Resembling a small dot,
I am a most meagre living being.

If You do not provide me a place,
it will not add to Your glory.

In the midst of my defeated heart,
You are the pole star.

In cold nights and in rains,
You apply warm paste.

You are for all,
yet, You exist without me.
Your existence without me is Your insult.

O Lord,
I do not forget anything;
I only forget Your name.

And yet, I find love when I look at You.
My heart becomes filled with heavenly light.

A spark of the effulgence,
of the star that falls,
fills my mind with sweetness.

In the love,
with which You filled my heart,
in the affection that You smeared upon me,
in the melody that you played within my mind,
in its tune,
I salute You.

sitting by the shore of the sea of darkness,
I imagine You,
steering the boat of light with Your own hands,
and crossing this great ocean.

I have come to perform action,
for, without action, there is no use.
Days pass by, nights pass by.
All my companions have gone.

The lamp of life that accompanies me,
lightning the mark on the forhead of darkness,
that lamp, I keep lighted even today,
hoping for Your arrival,
O abundance of nectar!

who are You who came into my mind?
In which depths were You hiding?

The sky and air are full of impulse.
The smile of the moon brings about dreams.

Today, on this spring,
in the sandal breeze,
my frenzied heart aspire for You only.

In sweet chirpings
in the seclusion of mind,
my life merges into Yours.

Today, removing all obstructions,
forgetting smiles and cries,
I shall satisfy You
with tunes from my heart,
song after song.

O Lord,
like an ocean of effulgence,
in a smiling breeze,
who are You,
who came?

Arriving, You smeared sandal on the path.
Returning, You spread flowers on it.

I became tired calling You repeatedly.
How many days and nights of mine were lost thereby?
Even after calling You hundreds of times

You did not come.

You came today without my calling You.
Your arrival conquered my mind and life.

I know You created this universe
in order to enjoy Your divine game.
I accept
that through that game,
You love.

Yet, grant my prayer,
do not ignore my sorrows.

This is the only request
that, with tear filled eyes,
I approach You with.

..........................................................................

In the ocean of effulgence,
on a smiling breeze,
who are You who came?

On Your arrival
the path was scented with sandal fragrance.
On Your departure
it was covered with flowers.

Crying for You,
I am left exhausted.
How many days and nights
have I lost?

Even hundreds of calls could not bring You.
But today You came by Your own will,
and conquered my heart and mind.

We know You created this universe
out of Your own play.
We also know that You love plays and fun.

Yet, please care for the feelings and pains
that are in our tears.
Only this humble request do we have.

O Lord,
You kindled the lamp and went away,
and then forgot me.

You crushed my mental flower
and forgot the tears in my eyes.

How many ages have passed since?
How many hearts,
full of agony and lamentations, endured?

How many nights passed by wastefully,
sitting on the base of Your altar?

The lamp's flame
that You kindled with Your own hands,
glows even to this day.

From that flame,
I keep kindling hundreds of lamps,
day and night,
mornings and evenings.

O Lord,
at the time I saw You
in the recess of my mind,
my mental garden was full of fragrance.

Opening my eyes,
I went towards You,
when suddenly Your doors closed.

I know that divinities
never never turn into stone.
Their hearts are softer than those of humans.

Due to what sin of mine did Your doors close?
Shyness and fear
must have laid hidden
within my heart.

Today, all my fear and shyness is removed.
Sit in my mind emanating divine effulgence.

Today, I am free from the vitiation of sin.
Come down to me with heaps of love.

Today, the physical and psychic arenas
have mingled into one.

O Lord,
You brought rains into eyes
and made all float in bliss.
You assured everyone of selfrealisation.

The soothing breeze of prespring,
when charmingly touching my body,
make both my mind and body quiver irresistibly
in the stream of Your ideation.

When my mind desires to leave its home,
in the brilliant and white moonlight,
my gloomy eyes look at the sky,
in search of Your momentary glimpses,
to revere the Supreme Lord.

..........................................................................

You brought tears of joy and bliss
into everyone's eyes.
You gave hope to the lives of all,
to aspire knowing one's own self.

When the mild and intoxicating breeze blows,
flooding me and caring me away,
my body and mind get a delighting thrill
in an unruly stream of ideas.

When brightly white moonlight radiates,
my mind wants to go out of home.
My thirsty eyes gaze towards the sky
to salute You.

Ankle bells resound within my mind,

Come in royal adornments
and relinquish my poverty.

Like a bee on its flower,
stay close to me,

on this drowsyless and rainy night.

I sing songs to You
in the tune of the papiya' bird.

In my isolated mental arbour,
there is a seat for You only.

My restless group of bees
keeps circling around You.

I do not think of anything else.
I dance on, shivering with joy.

When meteorites and thunders strike,
When stormy and anger laid cyclones unbalance me,
during that bad time,
I do not shake
but rush ahead, in Your tune and melody.

on that frightening and dark night
You were with me.

You sang a maddening, heart snatching tune.

In that intense darkness,
nobody was near me.

In that sleepless environment,
You smiled sweetly
and removed my entire sorrow.

Outside, there was dense darkness,
within my mind, still deeper darkness prevailed.

You carried in hand a lighted lamp
and poured illumination unto me.

..........................................................................

In that dark and fearful night
You were there.
You were with me,
You were there.

You sang a song
that snatched away my heart
and left me intoxicated.

In that cimmerian darkness none was near me,
none was with me in that sleepless situation.
You smiled beyond the bonds of pains,
You gave that sweet smile.

Outside, deep darkness prevails,
in my mind, still deeper darkness lingers on.

Holding the golden lamp,
You enlightened me,
You sparked the flame.

You were with me, it was You.

therefore, I do not fear.

I found You
amidst meteor lights.

Where in the universe
do not You exist?

The entire world is bound to decay and wear out.
You only will forever remain young.

From within intensely dark nights,
You rise as the morning sun.

After the fall of winter leaves,
You appear to me anew in the leaves of spring.

The state, in which You resided
as the beginning less entity,
in that same state,
You forever remain.

O eternally advancing entity,
to You, there is no comparison in the world.

Do not push me away with Your feet;
for, my life has merged with these songs.

When, during intense darkness,
it rains heavily,
frightening nature makes us quiver.
Amidst that darkness,
trusting in You,
I carefully create my songs.

In these songs my love is merged.
These songs contain Your memory.
I compose my songs
keeping You in mind.
Only thereby, my mind appeases.

You are the illumination
of my dark heart.

You are the selfeffulgent lamp
that needs no oil in its stand.

The blue sky's scarf
is filled with numerous stars.

The nebula,
made up of sandal paste,
calls me by hand signals.

Amongst all the light
that lies scattered about,
Your effulgence,
shines forth better than the best.

By kindling millions of lamps
from one single lamp
You engrave the mark of effulgence.

In all hearts,
You awaken the stream of ideation.
You destroy what is darker than the darkest,
for, You are the light of love.

O Lord,
who do You think of
in Your mind?

Whatever You may please or think,
I know You are not thinking about me.

Numerous days,
mornings and evenings
passed by,
deprived of Your attention.

How much agonies have I tolerated?
Do not You know my pain?

Flowers bloomed in joy,
by the touch of golden light,
but dried up in intense sun.
Do not You understand their misery?

..........................................................................

You are sitting alone,
in such and absorbed state of mind.
Whom are You thinking of?

You may think as You please
but it is sure
You are not thinking of me.

My days passed away neglectfully
many a morning and many an evening went by.
Do not You feel my pain, my distress?

The blossoming flower
which once was glittering in the crimson dawn
is now drying up in the scorching sun.
Do not You feel its pain?

Whom are You thinking of,
in such an absorbed state of mind?

O Lord,
if You grace me,
I can tolerate still more pain.

Please look at me,
even should You do not apply soothing ointment.

I know You play the divine game,
so full of pains and joys.

I also know
that Your divine game is unlimited
and that I should never fear it,
now that I have understood.

You are vast and great.
You created the universe
by Your divine game.

The universe rests within Your mind
and, within that world,
I too exist.

O Lord,
I am unable to forget this fact.

..........................................................................

I can bear more pain, O Lord!
If by Your grace, You would only open Your eyes!
Not even such a consolation do You give.

I know You play.
It is filled with pain and pleasure.
I know Your play is infinite;
that is why I will not be frightened.

You are infinite, You are great.
You have created the world with Your play.
The world remains in Your mind.
I am also in that world;
I cannot forget that, O Lord.

Who came into the recess of my mind?
Who is that unknown divinity,
extending His reddish feet?

My mind and intellect
cannot understand Him.
And yet, He won my heart.

By His love and immortal song,
He filled everything
in beauty and colour.

I cannot express that experience
and cannot suppress that impulse of my heart.

His smile and enchanting flute
awakened nectar and beauty.

..........................................................................

Who came who came into the corner of my mind?
The unknown one, the Lord of the heart,
revealed His lotus feet to me.

The mind and the intellect cannot understand Him;
and yet, He conquered my heart.
His love, His immortal song
filled everything in form and tune.

This realisation, I cannot express.
I cannot check the emotions of my heart.
His laugh, his charming flute,
brought the beauty of nectar...
awakening, awakening, awakening my heart.

O Lord,
who are You
coming into my heart,
softly smiling?

You merged into love
my dark attachments.

With eyes full of love
absorbed in heavenly sweetness,
You call me repeatedly,
and take me along towards infinity.

Neither do You want anything
nor do You take anything.

Whenever I want to give something,
You say: "Give yourself".

But You do not give Your identity
and when asked to,
You do not speak.

You say You know my identity,
but then, You forget it.

O Lord,
see what You have done,
I am trapped in the web of the great ma'ya'.

Tell me how a human being
can struggle with the high cosmic waves?

I am but a small particle of Yours;
You are the ever new and vast entity.

You continue playing
Your evernew divine game,
hiding behind all.

When the wee bit of Your grace shall fall,
then only, the ocean can be crossed.

Then, all beings will shine
with the impulse of victory.

I do not want wealth or happiness;
I desire only to see Your delighted face.

Ignoring my faults and mistakes,
come close to me with a sweet smile.

You are above

Do You wish to forget it,
pushing it away?

Thinking of You,
my days pass away.
Remembering You,
I trun restless even today.

If You wish to forget me,
I will tolerate that also.
By Your grace,
this quality is present in me.

In my life, even today six seasons are present,
it smiles with every new load of new flowers.
And yet, my life floats away in tears,
dissolving its entire smile into pains.

O Lord,
in an unbroken and continuous mind,
in ever alert meditation,
You bloomed in the eastern horizon.

On that dawn,
neither sunrays nor the soft breeze were there,
nothing yet existed.
On that dawn,
You alone existed.

There was no heavenly sweetness in the dust,
no beauty of trees,
no creepers,
no fruits or flowers,
no streams to flow on the earth.
All that, later became drawn by Your colour.

With pure eyes,
You decorated this unadorned creation
with golden beautifications.

In intense austerity,
You removed the dense darkness,
and with sunrays and a soft breeze,
You made flowers bloom in a mere swing.

Come in a moonlit night
come with wholehearted love.
I have threaded a garland for You.

You gave me so much!
You loved me,
and yet, You still did not come close enough
for me to hold You.

This time please come closer,
sit in the recess of my heart.
I have arranged my altar with sweetness.

What type of love is this
where You smile from a distance only?
When will You fulfill all my aspirations?

You filled the core of my heart
with the melody of Your flute.

For You, I keep my lamp lighted.

..........................................................................

Come on a gentle breeze

I sit and wait for You.

On a moonlit night,
with a heart full of love,
please sit with me.
I have made a garland for You.

You have given me so much,
You have loved me so much;
even so, You have not let me catch You,
You have not come any closer.
Now come closer,
sit in my heart of hearts,
where, in sweetness,
an altar I have made for You.

What kind of love is this
only smiling from afar?
You embody all my hopes.
The melody of Your flute
fills every secret chamber of my heart.
I sit and light a lamp for You.

Atuning my viin'a' to the musical octave,

The tunes that were active in my throat
have gone very far away.

in the flood of its vibrations,
in that same rhythm and vibration,
in their swing, I too am swinging.

O Lord,
though You exist nearest to me,
You remain far.

I searched You wastefully
in places of pilgrimage,
on roads and ways.

I performed lamp reverences
with conch blows.
I raised sounds with drumbeats.

I carried out all this
but found that You did not come into my heart.

Lighting fire,
I performed oblations of fire.
I kindled my lamp with five flames.

I bathed You
by pouring water into special utensil.
I prayed to You with tearful eyes.

But I observed
that by performing all this,
You went still further away.

physical, psychic and spiritual,
You engendered a thirst for the infinite.

This world is full of rhythms.
The flow of light dances on in rhythms.

You are resonant
in total immersion.
You are frenzied
in the bliss of this self created universe.

The rough and dry desert,
the green tree,
the murmuring of the forest
and the goodness of mind,
the flag of love,
and the rays of the moon,
all lose themselves in Your rhythm.

The sweet memories of bygone days,
the pathetic song,
sung on a sorrowful night,
patience and pardon,
all are held by this earth.

The universal love of the yogi
renouncing the world totally,
and those who left their homes
in the wave of Your rhythm,
all are full of Your sweet rhythm.

O Lord,
day and night,
I keep moving,
on the light scattering path
that You have shown.

Like the lotus and the lilly in the mud
I smile,
and, with an overflowing heart,
I love You.

Round the clock,
I remain engrossed in Your meditation.
I never regard pain as troubling pain.
From the early hours throughout all moments,
I witness Your sweet smile with eyes wide open.

O unknown traveller,
You are my companion from time immemorial.
Most beloved one of all
and sympathiser during all pains,
knowingly or unknowingly
everyone longs for You each and every moment.
This desire merges adrift into infinity.

..........................................................................

You showed me the path which emanates light;
day and night, I move along that path.
Like the lotus and the lily smiling in the mud,
I love You with all my heart.

I am absorbed in Your name twentyfour hours a day,
thus, I don't care about hardship or pain.
Every moment from the first hour of the dawn
I open my eyes and see Your sweet smile.

O unknown traveller! You are my eternal friend.
You are the dearest of all.
You feel our pain.
Knowingly or unknowingly,
everyone wants You every moment;
that longing moves us toward the infinite.

O Lord,
I understand You as final essence.

You took Your seat in my heart,
bestowing unto it unlimited mercy.

Smeared in Your affection,
I have witnessed heaps of grace.
At the sight of Your generousity,
my eyes pauselessly shed tears.

If I think of not remembering You,
I begin to remember You more.
What a pity it is,
not being able to forget You!

And ever thinking of You,
my eyes shed flows of tears.

O Lord,
You came as essence flowers.

In the crimson illumination
of an enchanting morning,
You bloomed like the lotus flower.

How many ages passed by in silent austerity?
How many dark nights vanished away rapidly?

You came in the morning,
wading through the water of love,
to fulfill my aspirations and love.
You gave more than I desired.

All want You,
but why cannot they attain You?
Their days pass by, alas,
crying in disappointment.

Come into the fold of all.
Come into my heart in overwhelming swing.

O beloved one,
why does love spread forth from all Your movements?
Why do You keep playing
Your game of hide and seek?

the ocean of effulgence moves forward,
all shall become submerged in brilliant light.

O beloved one,
Your imagination will surely materialise.

The sweetness of trees and creepers,
fruits and flowers,
the blue of the sky
and the gravity of the ocean,
Your glory and subtlety unifies it all.

Whatever I think
and whatever I do not think,

in You, all becomes unified,
in Your love, all become submerged.

By the beauty of freshly bathed,

You soaked the dry desert of my heart.

The land in which even grass would not grow,
became decorated with fruits and flowers.

Remembering this fact,
in contemplation of You,
I surrender before You in body and mind.

I was deaf, keeping my head held low.
You filled me with immeasurable and unlimited vibration.
By Your song and love,

I started talking today.

the eyes that spoke affectionately,
the hearts that came close in the bright sunlight,

You took all with You

I do not want to dwell in darkness.

I won't tolerate any obstacle.

I have seen the wheels of Your cart
moving forward,
crushing all maskings of sins.

In the suncart of my mind
You move ahead
in Your own peculiar way.
Sitting by that path,
I calculate Your arrival day.

On a moonlit dreamy night
immersed in floral fragrance,
You ride the golden cart
to take all with You.
It is there that I recognised You.

I am waiting for You
in expectation of Your arrival.
I await You by that path
with a lamp in hand.
In front of Your effulgence,
the light of that lamp fades.
It was then that I knew You as essence of all.

swings below Your feet.
It moves from beyond the world of form
to that of formlessness.

The tinkling of Your ankle bells
brings rhythm to my heart.
It arouses from the unknown
and floats off unto the unknown.

O unseen Lord,
Your flow can be comprehended
by neither science nor philosophy.

In Your contemplation,
all lose themselves and become expressionless.
They lose themselves in an effort to attain You.

O vastest entity,
You are beyond
attributes, bondages and thoughts.

Thinking about You,
the lives of all go by,
in meditation, listening and contemplation.
O Lord,
You exist in the world only.

Alas, had they heard of Your expected arrival,
the shefali flower would have remained awake,

You broke the strings of my lyre.

who is that singing in joy?

Heavenly nectar flows on
in hundreds of ways.

Barrier breaking love
spreads out effulgence
and rushes on restlessly.

Today, on this winter morning,
the cuckoo sings a timeless song.
The forest deers
look at the bamboo stalks.

Today, the song of immortality,
intoxicated with beauty and love,
has brought about the dissemination of melody.

know of the love
between the devotee and the Lord.

The moonlight smilingly announces:

rushes into Your song.

O Lord,
I found You today,
in my mind,
with new adornments.

My mind had been engaged
in numerous works
and idling of various kinds.

The path on which I was moving
was serpentine like,
and, day and night,
covered with darkness.

By the pull of Your love,
I looked at You,
and the wheels of my cart turned.
My dry river became flooded.

Beyond light, there was darkness
and even more:
all around me pitch darkness prevailed.

You came in light,
in more and more light,
and, in whichever direction I looked,
only pleasant feelings overcame me.

You won my mind and filled my life.
With Your love,
my heart became filled .

O Lord,
from Your red feet,
the various colours within You emanate.
What wonderful effulgence!

Into the crimson light that attaches gold,
You poured the sweetness of nectar.
You resonated in gardens and forests,
You provided happiness to all minds.

You are resonant in dense dreams.
You play Your flute in forests
and dance dreamlike,
with rythmic steps,
in dense bamboo groves.

The bright radiation that flows from Your body
overflows with great effulgence.
Spreading about sweet greatness,
You love with an enchanting smile.

into the sunlight of the early morning,
You poured bright effulgence.

Churning the core of my mind,
removing all my shyness,
You spoke in the language of my heart.

Your divine game
goes on day and night,
never ignoring anyone.

O beloved Lord,
in every mind,
You remain ever awake
as subtle feeling.

There is no pause for You.
The flow of Your liila'
is immeasurable and boundless.

O Lord of liila',
with diverse colours,
and in a strong upsurge,
You filled the entire sky with moonlight.

O Lord,
for You I have been sitting awake
the whole night,
holding a garland in my hand.

Yet, You did not come,
neither did You tell me why.
Why did You not come that night?

The moonlight of the sky too
was waiting for You.

You filled the firmament of my heart
with numerous tunes and melodies.

Suddenly, with a strong wind,
You extinguished
the lamp of my hope
and brought sleep to my eyes.

The moonlight faded away
and darkness spread all over.
My mind became filled
with the concentrated darkness of disappointment.

But I still love You.
Filled with hope and confidence
I shall attain You.

O Lord,
seated in isolation,
You spoke something...
who knows for or to whom You spoke.

To which unknown destination
did You smilingly leave,
forgetting me seemingly unconcerned.

How many days, months,
years and ages
passed by?
When thinking of it,
tears flow from my eyes non stop.

When alone in this forest of ma'ya',
the songs of those bygone days,
come floating about.

Those sweet memories
and unforgettable songs
fill in me the infinite's love.

I loved and surrendered my heart,
yet even so, my friend did not come.

Selecting flowers from my garden,
I threaded a garland
but could not offer it to Him.

I kept the altar of my mind well decorated.
I spread its seat
with love and attachment.
I kindled the lamp
with the flame of my heart.
But I could not make
the a'ratii (with lamp) to welcome Him.

With sandal paste,
the dirt of agony was removed,
dewed with the water of raganuga' devotion.
I utterly lost myself in ra'ga'tmika' devotion,
letting go all my inner pains.

O Lord,
break my lethargy
with harsh calls.

In this darkness,
keep my lamp ever lighted.

That on the journey of this path
my eyes do not remain closed,
and, should I ever lose my path,
I not stop searching.

Like the sandal that spreads in the moonlight,
Your voice eternally resonates in the sky.

I do not want a soft,
milky white bed,
nor colourful, enchanting decorations.
Neither do I want the shame of defeat.

I want only light,
more and more light.
The light that will take me
beyond all limitations.

..........................................................................

Shatter my dullness with a clap of thunder!
In this darkness,
keep the lamp of my hopes eternally illuminated...
so that I not close my eyes on this path of light,
or become bewildered searching for it.

As sandalwood is mingled with moonlight,
so floats Your sweet sound joyously through the sky.

I do not want a bed as fine and white as milk.
I do not want a perfumed and colourful dress.
I do not want the shame of defeat.
I want only light, more light, more light
that light which will take me beyond all bondage.

O Lord,
You came with beauty and love,
awakening the world
and stirring all three worlds.

You threaded handful after handful
of love filled octave.

On an unknown lyre with unknown strings,
You vibrated and resonated the earth.

Shaking off the agony of isolation,
You made the psychic arena fragrant.

Human beings understood You as their God
and started loving You
as their own, closest and most beloved.

In a strong sentiment of love
lay all they had,
lay the origin of their awakening.

O Lord,
everyone wants You close beside.

Though You exist,
pervading in each atom and particle,
alas, we do not understand this fact through knowledge.

We search You in the far sky
and in the soothing breeze,
in the ocean of galaxies,
and in the fragrance of flowers.

But we never search You
in our own core
where You reside
as grand adoration,
as intense beauty and flow.
Hence,
we keep on crying in disappointment.

Though You are surrounded
by name and form,
You exist beyond it too.

You remain ever engrossed
in Your divine game (liila'),
and yet, You reside in the eternal abode.

You exist in forms and in a formless state,
in a nonattributional stage as nirgun'a',
beyond all attributes.
In Your ideation all become enchanted
to the degree of coma.

Explain His identity.
Why did He leave without saying a word

He went away winning my heart

He will again return.
He will smile anew with a lighted lamp.
In this mutually known world,
the unknown traveler is never unknown.

however much I long for You,
I keep wondering what a game of Yours this is.

My movement never comes to an end.

And yet, there too, I do not find an end.

What an endless game of Yours is this?
Like straw in a storm,
I float from place to place.
And at the end,
I am overcome with fatigue.

This agony of mine please excuse.

the memory of which fades far away towards heaven.

And yet, Your smile awakened tinkling

You honoured the meager living being,

Yet, so many ages have since passed by,
many a star from the sky was lost.
Remembering Your pink feet,
I move on, crossing all obstructions.

Storms come to extinguish my lamp,
meteors try to burn my flowers,

want to eat away all my sweetness.

O Lord,
You came on a full moon day.
On that day,
the moon was playing hide and seek
with the clouds.

The far off galaxy in the sky appeared
as if drawn near by sandal paste.

It seemed as if a new swan had lost its path.
Many a moonlit night passed by.
The seat of my heart remained vacant.

Hearing the sound of Your footsteps,
my heart became filled with nectar,
and that same swan came again, recognising the path.

..........................................................................

When You came the moon was full.
It was playing hide and seek
with the shifting clouds.

The galaxies in the distant skies
appeared as Your artwork.
The newly arrived swan
lost its way.

You came and went away so many times,
but still my heart was empty.

Upon hearing Your footsteps
my heart became filled with joy.
The swan then found again its way.

O Lord,
You bestowed Your grace,
came into our fold,
and filled the world
with beauty and colour.

There is nothing outside You,
You have kept everything within Your mind.
You are the eternal creator,
the world remains illuminated by Your effulgence.
You continue playing Your divine game in each particle,
O eternal, beautiful embodiment of consciouness.

You love,
intoxicate the mind
and show Your absolute and true form.
In each leaf Your mark lies engraved.
The flowers sing Your glory.
You appear
in the thunder of clouds,
in the twang of bows
and in the tinkling of viin'a's (lyres).

..........................................................................

It was only by Your grace that You let Yourself be attained.
You filled the world with forms and songs.

Nothing is outside of You.
You kept everything within Your mind.
You filled the world with forms and songs.

You are the doer of everything that happens.
Your light illuminates the world.
Your cosmic play is expressed in every atom.
You are the embodiment of eternal beauty.
You have loved us,
You have inspired our minds,
You have shown Your real form.

Whatever we see on every leaf, is Your writing.
Your artistry graces every flower.
In the thunderous clouds,
in the drawing of the bow,
in the sound of the viina,
You have expressed Yourself.

O Lord,
come to my home
and sit on the seat of my heart.

I created a solitary altar
and decorated it with flowers of love.
In my long comings and goings,
I have had neither rest nor leisure.

In expectation of You,
in which distant past
did the journey of my mind start?

On my forward movement, each moment,
tiredness overcomes my body and mind.

Kindly pardon my fatigue,
by bestowing on me
a wee bit of Your grace.

I know that I was with You,
that I am with You
and that I shall ever remain with You.
This is my firm opinion.

From how many attractions of ma'ya',
was I freed?
Who knows unto what
I had been heading,
rushing through rivers and forests?

In the corner of mind,
in solitary isolation,
I keep singing Your song.

Since the time of sunrise,
I remain engrossed
in a stream of dream.
I steer my boat with firm hands.
I remember Your ideal message
as the means on my journey.

Blooming flowers have gone waste.
The honey of my love has dried up.
The fragrance of my heart is lost,

My everclosest companion
was near me in dream.
He went away, saying He would return,
but He did not yet come back.

That distant friend had taken away only,
without giving anything in return.
Whatever honey was inside my mind,
He took it away all.

The lamp of hope that He gave me,
was it but a mere delusion?

Remembering that,
my heart gets agitated even today.
Who knows whether He loves me or not,
whether He comes to me or not?

I may stop loving Him,
I may stop talking to Him,
but I am unable to forget Him.
He was in dream,
and went away with the assurance of again returning.
But that effulgent entity did not come.

In a gentle sweet breeze,
on a crimson coloured morning,
what melody came about floating?

Marked dark on radiating gold,
with the tinkling of ankle bells,
what a delusive game has this been?

My once lethargic life
now rushes on in hundreds of directions
and my rhythmic song is filled with ideation.

On the dust of the earth,
heavenly nectar flows,
calling me from even far off distances.

By that call,
the beautiful ladies in the house
open the door
and, witnessing the external beauty,
lose themselves.

Even the calm forest
resonates with chirping birds,
that sing Your name and song.

O dear companion,
come to my village
that lies beyond the suvarn'areka' river.

When walking along the sea side
through sand heaps,
the sun rises,
colouring the sky and the sea.
It awakens colours within my mind
and provides infinite joy.

In the groves of almonds and cashew nuts,
colourful birds ever dance.
The rivereagle flies far off.
The boatman releases his boat
into the river current.
He rushes towards the sea,
forgetting all his worries.

..........................................................................

O my dearest friend,
come to my village
on the banks of the Suvarnarekha river,
come to that river.

The path leads across the dunes by the sea.
When the sun rises there,
the sky and the sea bloom with colour.
That colour awakens my mind
and gives me infinite pleasure.

In the cashew nut orchard
the coloured birds always dance.
The hawks fly over to unknown places.

The sailor starts his journey
Hearing the far song of the rivers current.
He moves towards the sea
without any other thought in mind.

O Lord,
You came in the sandal breeze,
spreading beauty.
You smiled in the mango buds
and responded with the red hue
of the kinshuk flower.

You poured warmth
into the flow that,
due to the formation of ice,
had become stagnant.
You filled its whole body.

Into the decorations
of tender new leaves and soft buds,
You poured uncalled heavenly nectar
as well as a breeze,
fragrant with honey from the bees
in the kanakcampa' and kacana'r flower garden.

The vibrant firmament of mind
now is mixed with sweetness
and heavenly enchanting colours.

Hot sparks of illumination
appear in the heavens.

I want Your sweetness
to fill my heart,

Amidst this festival of colours,
why do You lie alone this morning?
Come to my home,
I have kept its door open.

Your path is rainbow coloured,
Your speeding cart keeps advancing.
There is no chance for anyone
to stay back, cry or slow down.

You across all places within Your mind.
You entered into my mind

In Your name and song,
I lost my mind.

No more anxieties nor worries persist.
I move along Your path,
with the crimson glow of the horizon at dawn.

You overtook my mind
and filled it with mysteriously sweet melodies.

My restless eyes became transfixed,
and merged in Your form.

I have left my earthly home
and became a speechless wanderer.
My home now spreads across the universe.

Today, the boat of my life has set sail
on the waves Your song.
It floats on
in the shimmering light
of this fullmoon night.

..........................................................................

In Your name, in Your song,
I have lost myself.

My mind no longer recognises obstacles.
I am constantly treading Your path.
In the red crimson dawn,
You have taken Your seat in my mind,
filling it with an unknown melody.

My restless eyes are fixed on You,
intoxicated with Your beauteous, colourful form.
My mind, freed from all attachment,
remains speechless,
and spreads forth in all directions.

Today, I row my boat
in the flood tide of love songs,
on a moonlit night,
filled with of nectar,
shedding its radiance,
and enchanting my mind.

Dropped leaves cry in the forest
and arouse pain in my mind.
Memories of those bygone days
come secretly.

To remain oblivious is not forgetting.
This fact is known to all.

The tune that resounded is immortal.
This is accepted by all.

The sweetness that lay in my mind,
the friend who entered my heart,
the moon that smiled...
all linger on in the recess of memory.

O Lord,
You came to my home,
untimely,
as if forgetting Your path.

What illusion did You create,
weaving the web of ma'ya'
with golden threads!

Today, the song of infinity
floats in honey.
It flows into the ears of limitations,
calling forth their nectar.

Why did You engender
a mutual acquaintance
between the limited and the unlimited?

Today, the fragrance of melody
rushes through an unnamed craft.
Its impulse, since ages unknown,
remains ever intoxicated.

This mutual knowing and hearing,
taking and giving of hearts
moves along the banks of the ocean of forms.

Even though I may not know nor recognise You,
I still love You.

You bring tides of hope into my mind,
that break my heart in disappoinment.

Day and night You enter into my heart,
pouring into it heaps of nectar of gratification.

I do not want anything from You.
The wee bit of Your grace is already there.
Whatever You gave me is plentiful.
Simply continue commanding the work.

You came through the stream of light,
from within the origin of bliss,

and removing the foggy darkness.

During my pitchdark night,
selflessly and with silent hands,
You handed over to me the lamp of hope,
that I may smilingly move ahead on the path.

I did not forget that narrative memory,
the song sung on my internal viin'a'.
Your love extends to both individuals and the collective,
and sings an ever new melody.

O, in golden mornings,
and illuminated nights
on the dreamland banks of the river Ajay,
my days pass by.

This river came dancing down
from the mountain through the planes.

After descending from the Chakai hill,
it dances in the tune of HinuglaKunur
and flows on towards the eastern part of the country.

Then, passing through the red soil of Virbhum,
and the greeneries of the villages of Vardhaman,
it touches the cool heart of the border of Nadia.

The land, which preserves the dust
of the footsteps of KAVIGURU,
Ravindra Nath Tagore,
is filled with the fragrance
of Nagakeshar in sweet beauty.

O river,
I love you.
You are the light of my hope.
Your effulgence lies reflected on golden sands.

come floating into flowers?

They enter the enchanting flute of bygone days
and the sweet moonlight of winter nights.

Under such environment,
if You do not want to come
and stay with me,
Your wish,
but do not show Your love from a distance.
Just appear in my dreams
and talk, saying that You love me.

Your play with me is eternal.
This divine sport
is also embedded in Your web of ma'ya'.
In that liila'
I cry, laugh and worry.
My heart is overwhelmed by Your love.

Into my mental pollen,
pure nectar was filled.

O Lord,
amidst all these,
come quickly for a moment at least.

My heart remains absorbed with heavenly nectar
and is covered with pollen.
My eyes are filled with many a tear, as is the sea.
Stay forever!

My mind remains filled with You only.

O Lord,
our mutual introduction
took place only one or two ages ago.
Remaining oblivious
and forgetting forever
are not the same thing.

In the eastern sky,
in the crimson hue
when, with a smile, You appear,
Your effulgence awakens unbound love
in the core of my heart.

With attentive ears and anxious eyes
I become absorbed in Your ideation.
In that absorbed state,
I exchange my heart with Yours.

When my mind stuff is restless,
it feels both pain and pleasure,
and my calm and illuminated heart
sings of Your victory.

Do not push me away amidst fear.

Your song floats adrift into my memories.
With more love and melody,
make me forget all my tortures.

You are the light in my dark night.
With more and more melody
awaken a new enchantment
and bring fulfillment to this world.

flood my memory.
Your eternal music and attraction,
make me forget all anguish.

You are the light in the dark night,

Your notes charm the universe, in evernew music.

I decorated Your altar with my mental lamp,

I am Yours but You are for all.

In how many ways did it speak?

The flower of my heart withered away,

The strings of the viin'a' of my heart are broken,
I wish to place new ones on it.

The diamond pendant of my neckless is lost,
I am unable to search for a new one.

Carrying a picture of disappontment,
I stand in front of You.

The stream of my feelings flows on,
sometimes down, sometimes up.

I cannot forget You at any time.

You kindle Your light high always,
and extend Your feet at both places.

on the path
on which You secretly came.

The dust of that path
dances with quiver even today,
in remembrance of Your arrival.

What for did You come,
bestowing Your grace upon me?

Days pass by, months pass by,
everything passes by.
Those who come,
again leave on muddy earth.

Only their memory remains in the jewel of mind,
and that gem shines around You.
That is why, I hold You,
extending both my arms.

O Lord,
I love You heart and soul,
I love You wholeheartedly.

In moonlit nights,
in dark nights,
in pain and in pleasure,
I remember You.

My mind drifts off into the far sky,
where Your image appears.

It surrounds me
in the blue colour of the sky,
in forestpaths and in waterfalls,
even in the mirage of forests,
in the hot sand,
in the soothing sandal breeze
and in soft hairs.

Amidst it all,
I search You. Kindly come close,
come still closer.

When the first companion came into my life,
that day I have forgotten today.

At that time the garden was full of flowers
and the moon was smiling without shyness.

The sandal breeze came
and whispered into my ears that the friend
who had come knows deception.

Today He would love
and tomorrow that Lord of my mind
would not come,
smiling from a distance only.

On that removed dust of the feet,
the sweetness of mind spreads day and night.
That stealer of mind
in the mental mirror
I search ignoring shyness.

The charioteer of light
comes through a series of glows.

Onto what does He look
and with what expectation?

With the assurance of love
and with the sweet exhalation of His warm vivacity
He melted the ice that lay condensed.
Filling the golden vessel with nectar,
my flooded heart rushes unto an assembly of mirages.

Providing warmth to all,
He continues loving.

Your rhythm never shows fatigue

The way You were,

You are the sweetness of my mental garden.

close and closer with love.

I have never seen anyone like that.

In how many nights
tears have come to my eyes?
Waiting for You,
my lamps became extinguished.

You are my only friend in this lost life of mine.
But You knowingly ignore this fact.

If You do not want to be attained,
why do You bestow hope on me,
O eternal being?

You flow the river of love in a reverse direction,
You smile from a distance only
and You do not talk.

The night queen flower cries,
its pollen having silently withered away.

Pardon my fault
and come with a sweet smile.
A dark patch of clouds
floats in the sky.

The pollen of the ketakii flower

I turn indifferent.
Come and understand my mental agony,

You spread Your seat with Your own hands.

The floral garland could not be threaded;
The melody of songs could not be rehearsed.
The welcome decoration mark on the door

The white sandal could not be pulverised.
The colouring of Your altar could not be finished.
The marking on the forehead could not be made;

My heart enjoys Your endless liila (sport).

You came as king of Mathura,

Why did the bee come buzzing
into my floral garden?
Tell me.

What did it declare
before taking away all honey,
uncovering the petals?
Why, alas?
What a torture!

Why was there honey in the flower?
Where from did it come?
Why did it call the bee?
Why did it think so?

At the arrival of the bee,
the flower smiles with the desire of exchange.
All honey gathers together
and becomes available at one place.
Thus is the woven web
of the singular entity's divine game (liila').

continue providing sweetness to my life.

O Lord,
You appeared majestically in my mind.

What kind of love is this?

My false vanity was powdered down
and blown into dust,
within the fraction of a moment.

In the external world,
You do not respond.
Yet, You stir the life sitting within it.

In Your ideation my ego dissolves.

You came at last
and became caught with an enchanting smile.

The golden creeper of my aspiration swung vividly,
shaken by the restless wind.

On it, flowers bloomed by Your touch,
after long awaiting.

O Lord,
You came on an illuminated night
and ignited light in my dark mind.

You removed the dark fog
and made me good within moments.

My heart was deep black,
but became intensely bright,
shining with golden effulgence.

By soft touch,
You made me Your own,
part by part.
O unseen, spotless one,
You are dear, pleasant and reverred.

You absorbed all in sweetness
and filled bliss into the blue sky.

Who are You waiting for,
dressed with a tied chignon
and holding a threaded garland?

Which stealer of mind,
having loved and won Your heart,
went ever so far away?

In this heavy rain,
on what confidence,
did You decide to become drenched,
carrying a full load?

Who is that ever new one
who made You restless in this world?

Under what pull
did You smilingly keep floating in the stream
unto an effulgent world?

Who is that tranquil entity,
active in the divine game
who pulled You unto a world of sweetness?

You remained seated on Your throne,

ignoring and neglecting me.

How is it possible for You
to perform this divine game

He entered into the sweet world of my heart,
illuminating everything by an unknown melody.

The one who I always desired
in my mental mirror,
came into my fold,
and enchanted my mind.

Today,
all the rhythms and tunes inside me,
all the mornings, so full of hopes
and all the sweet nights,
in one sonance,
at the call of one, with a singular aim
play on my ekta'ra' (monochord).

All the forest are filled with sandalwood fragrance,
and the all flowers carry fragrance.

Pouring nectar into the dance and rhythm
of the singular entity,
they keep singing His ever living song.

O Lord,
You entered my heart.
You filled this dejected home of mine
with rays of hope.

Whatever lay covered with darkness
became engulfed in light.
Why then do You keep me bound
within limitedness?

The pollen that was covered with petals
became absorbed in sweet love.
So what imperfection is there left
in this exchange of consciousness?

..........................................................................

You came in my heart and filled it with hope,
You filled with hope my house of hopelessness.

That which was covered by darkness,
became mixed with effulgence.
Why then have You bound me
in the periphery of the finite?

That which was covered by petals,
that honey was full of love.
Then what else still remains
in this exchange of consciousness?

O Lord,
if by chance,
during one of Your leisure periods,
You think of me,
forget that anytime I loved You.

For You,
expecting Your arrival on the golden chariot,
I had tied my chignon
and threaded a garland.

But, today,
like a serpent devoid of its jewel,
I cry in pain.

You forgot that on several bright mornings,
I had picked up flowers to decorate You.
Now, all my sweetness became lost beyond limits,
it vanished into the sky.

..........................................................................

If in an idle moment You ever thought of me,
please forget that memory.
Please, forget that I ever loved You.

It was for You that I braided my hair and wove a garland
But today like a serpent devoid of its jewel,

I am burning in agony.

I have descended from that golden chariot.
Please forget on how many red dawns
I picked flowers to adorn You.
Today all the sweetness is lost
and fled beyond the void.

Explanation: A poetic / mythological allegory for the soul.
A serpent with a jewel in its crown symbolizes

the unit mind and its soul.
The golden chariot symbolizes the hiranmaya
kos'a, the sublest layer of mind.

I am not an undesirable load,

in what colour should You colour my mind?

By spreading light from the moon,
while spreading His wings,
He says with a sweet smile:
"Come and move towards the heavenly garden."

O Lord,
bathing in the fountain of effulgence,
You came.

I was smeared with the dirt of degradation;
You lifted me up, holding my hand.

I forget You during happy days
and call You when in trouble.

I take the pleasures of achivement
and give You the heaps of my sins.

I never looked at Your feet
but You still took care of me.

I have always thought of myself first,
and never thought of You.

I kept flowing in the stream of selfishness,
never performing proper actions.

I only talked and talked
without implementing policies in my own life.

And yet, You brought me onto the proper path.

Looking at the line of lightning
amidst the darkness of clouds,
when the peacock spreads its tail,
then, in expectation of the immediate arrival
of my dear companion,
my mind and heart shiver with thrill.

Many a winter went away through the door,
many a spring silently moved away.
many a garland of hope dried and withered.

After such along time
He finally came, listening to my call.

Today,
the supreme embodiment of the cosmic sound,
in intense rhythm and dance,
fills the moist breeze
with the fragrance of the ketakii flower.

In the influence of rhythm,
the fragrant pollen comes floating about,
creating a delusive dream.

Originating from an unknown inspiration,
the peacock of mind dances in the river of joy.

All are impulsively dancing in rhythm,
dancing to the tune of emotions.

Today,
the earth became frenzied by the northern wind,
bound by an unknown attraction of love.

Who is that stealer of mind
who secretly trapped me in the web of delusion?

O Lord,
this universal divine game of Yours,
pulls the distant ones close.

With the sweet juice of love,
it soaks and absorbs all.
Knowingly or unknowingly,
accepting or without accepting it,
a permanent abode is secretly kept for You
in the recess of each heart.

You are the beloved of all.
You are everyone's own.
Even the distant ones
are close to You in mind.

When thinking of You,
the mind loses itself and merges in You.

O Lord,
I love You only,
I talk about You only.

I move on Your path,
there is no other but You.

Your effulgence radiates
amidst the moonlight and the stars.

In the recess of my heart,
day and night,
I beg for Your love.

All are within Your mind,
crying in pain
and dancing in pleasure.

In the impulse of Your energy,
I keep singing Your song.

O Lord,
You are the nucleus gem of all hearts
and the fragrance of the heavenly flower pa'rija't.

If You had come into my heart,
I would have been filled with joy.

Why are You not to be attained?
You love but do not talk.

On all twelve months,
at all times,
You remain engaged
in creation, existence and destruction.

You spread the fire of melody
into each forest
and fill love into each mind.

O eternal traveler,
You are the warm breath of my respiration.

meditating on You,
I followed the resonance of Your melody,
and moved along the difficult path of Your effulgence.

You are the white, hundred petalled lotus in every heart.

In those lying disgracefully in the mud of the road,
You awakened a new consciousness.

Come slowly,
come with a soft smile,
come lovingly through the sandal breeze.

You are the honey of flowers,
You are the distant moon.
You are the radiation of the enchanting sweet moonlight.
You express Yourself as flowers and fruits and as roots,
You are both banks of the reverseflowing river.

You are everyone's closest,
dearest, most respected,
and most revered.

All await Your arrival.
You fulfill all expectations in the light of love.

blows in my mind.
To this fragrant breeze,

"Keep awake today,
keep Your eyes open,

The one You have been seeking

In the recess of Your mind
He has secretly remained awake
day and night.

Carrying His lamp in hand,
why roam around every moment?

How long will You keep wandering
from one path onto another?

You do not have much time.
You are to attain Him in the recess of Your mind.
So make a firm vow now.

..........................................................................

Who are You looking for foolish mind?
Whoever it is You seek,
He is seated in Your own heart.

He hides day and night in a corner of Your mind.
It is His guiding light by which You see.

Time is short, don't waste it searching in vain.
If You seek with firm determination,
You will find Him there with You.

I suppose You are either unable to hear my call

I call You under the influence of my selfishness,
begging for Your grace to remove my obstructions.

I desired honor, respect and wealth.
But You did not listen to my prayers.

I wanted liberation, salvation
and requested You
to make me cross the ocean of creation.

But You do not listen to any request of mine.
You are not moved by any demand.

Today, I do not want anything.
I want to give my all.
Please do not ignore me,
do not refuse my love.

On each flower and arena,
whose beauty is it
that rushes towards heaven?

Untasted and indescribable nectar
from infinity flows on.

That beauty rushes on
from the distant stream,
and from the bondage of time
to a realm far beyond time.

Leaving the world of forms,
it merges into formlessness.

In indidual life there are rises and falls,
and many a concentration on the path of friends.

Let that beauty be eternal.
Let it cross hundreds of obstructions.

However hard I try to forget Him,
I am unable to do so.

My earnestness increases day by day
and the creeper of love becomes ever livelier.

The sky and ocean join together
to tell me to secretly speak about Him.

This restlessness,
so full of agony,
I am unable to forget.

The creeper whispers
into the ears of the stormy wind
that it is not the time for keeping quiet.

In dream,
sleep and alertness,
You convey to me
that unwritten sweetness.

Those who came
onto the path of light
will never be lost to darkness.

Those smiling sweetly
do not cry.

You exist,
I am also present.
I have forgotten everything else.

Those who come onto the path of hope,
are not influenced by pessimism.

You came smiling
on the chariot of seven colours.

Attaining You, all become blessed
and the earth achieves fulfillment.

along an upward path,
who came
with a light in hand?

I cannot see Your beauty
nor recognise Your voice.

I nonetheless understand
that You are ever accompanying me.

You join broken hearts,
You bring flood into dry fields,
and You fulfil exhausted hope
by the sweet look of Your eyes.

Colour my life
with the colour of Your ever new ideation.

Engage me in Your work,
and fulfil my hopes.

You chant an ever new tune.

Today, You came onto this earth
and made flowers bloom.
Merging the forest flower
and my mental flower into one,
I have filled my floral tray to offer You.

What a unique and divine game of Yours this is.
My mental sky and the cosmic sky

I know that always
in all struggles
You are victorious.

In the scorching heat of the sun
or in the cool shade of the tree,
You remain with me always.

You control with strong hands.
Your power never diminishes.

After freezing coldness and snow,
the flash of Your effulgence shines.

In the silent and isolated dark night,
Your wee bit of grace remains with me.

O embodiment of effulgence!
We were introduced to one another
in the hue of dawn,
in the colouring of hearts.

I did not know nor understood why people love.

You were alone in my sky,
pouring light all around.

In Your flash, with unlimited shiver,
I was absorbed.

My heart became flooded
with rhythm and songs,
and went dancing unto You.

By Your touch,
full of joy,
I attained You,
O embodiment of consciousness!

O Lord,
I heard much about You,
but I am unable to recognise You,
what a pity!

After much thinking,
this much only could I understand:
to Your grace
there is no alternative.

How can a drop attain the ocean?
It cannot but dissolve into it.

If the light of a lamp wishes to hold the moon,
it has no alternative but to become the moonlight itself.
The love between You and me,
knowingly or unknowingly
has lasted for ages.

The love You awaken
removes all ignorance
and bestows eternal knowledge.

O Lord,
do not forget
that You love me.

Do not break the garland
that I threaded.

Do not allow the honey
that started flowing in my mind,
at the time of sunrise,
to dry up
by the heat of fire or intense sunshine.

Do not allow the memory
of the song that we sung together,
in the light bathed moonlit night,
to be wiped out by storms and meteors.

.........................................................

Do not forget You once loved me.
I have woven this garland with much devotion.
Please do not tear it.

Since the moment of dawn
I have been carrying nectar in my heart.
Let not blazing fire and scorching sun dry it.

On many a full moon night,
washed in moonshine,
we sang together.
Let not blasts of storms and strikes by meteors
wipe out the trail of that memory.

O Lord,
You came and loved,
but You went away right after, why?
Tell me.

Your departure
soon after Your arrival
gives only pain.

Not to come at all
would have been the better thing to do.

The garland that You put on,
spread its fragrance.
Yet, now only the thread
of the flowers that withered,
remains.
Its memory still shines on.

The seat on which You were seated,
absorbed in sweetness,
still brings about sighs in the recess of my heart.
Its memory remains vibrant even today,
in pain and in pleasure.

after much calling,
today only You came.

But You immediately told me
You were again leaving.

In my mind,
I decorated the altar of my heart.
This time I shall not allow You to go.

From selected flowers
I threaded my garland.
To offer my love,
I brought a colourful bouquet.

Just remain seated and watch,
I shall decorate You wholeheartedly.

From the essence of mental sandal,
I made a carefully threaded
mental garland for You.
In new colours,
I shall contemplate Your pink feet.

On the path of movement so many thorns lie.
Why is that?
I am unable to understand it.

The time spent in lifting up those thorns
could have been utilised in work.

I have heard that if obstructions come
in a full fledged way,
it arouses energy.

Then, in Your ideation
console me
the reason for so much obstruction.

If darkness was not there,
the value of light would not be understood.

The distressed mind only
understands the magnitude of bliss.

.........................................................

Why are there so many thorns on the path?
I cannot understand this.
The time I spent to pick up these thorns
could have been utilised for work.

If there is obstructions on the path,
strength increases
and the mind becomes engrossed in Your thought.
Maybe this is the reason why
You create so many obstructions.

If there had been no darkness,
who could have understood the value of light?
Only the mind that is engrossed in pain and suffering
can realise the intensity of happiness.

By Your grace.
You came in the night,
in the midst of
storms, typhoons and heavy rains.

On a secluded forest path,
alone and in silence,
You stepped forth to me.

You came
during roars of thunder and burning lights,
and sat on the throne of my heart.

Without bothering for obstructions,
You advanced full of love.

It rained heavily
and Your head was wet,
Your eye lids were covered with water.

Unassailed by it all,
You came to show Your form.

The chariot of light moves on,
it moves on.

Passing through a path spread with shiuli flowers,
it adjoins the forest of tall ka'sh grass,
and, crossing dew wet fields,
it advances, looking towards the sky.

Taking along the essence of life,
with light, flashing in the corner of mind,
it crushes the walls of obstrution,
and rushes on to an unknown destination.

Removing the accumulated clouds,
raising colours in the sky,
and providing a sweet touch,
it sings the song of the far distance.

O dear Lord,
You came,
with the enchanting ketakii fragrance,
looking for my lost heart
during an intensely rainy night.

In total darkness,
Your unique ankle bell
tinkled again and again.

Single handed
You removed my entire darkness,
like a single moon,
that radiates light in the blue sky.

O Lord of all places of pilgrimage,
You are the companion of all,
You are reverred by all hearts equally.

Within moments,
You removed my accumulated agonies.
And surprisingly, pulled off my entire disapointments.
I was floating about aimlessly;
You placed me in the tide,
O respected entity!

O Lord,
the fog of winter is gone,
the stars started shining in the sky.

You came smiling
through the soft and sweet sandal breeze.

Tender leaves grew
and buds bloomed on dry branches.
A luke warm flow started flowing in the sea.
The chirping of birds carried sweetness,
and the buds of flowers were filled with nectar.

I decorate the festival of light
in my mind to please You.

O beautiful one,
come with Your red feet,
and colour the earth in various hues.

Decorating my eyes with the mark of love,
come close into my waiting heart.

this mutual knowledge is confined to the two of us only.
Whom should I convey the feelings of my mind?
Who on this earth can I call my own?

How many agonies remain gathered in my mind?
How many inspiring and good policies merely peek out of it? How much pain and repentence simultaneously burn inside me? How many days come and pass by uselessly?
How many nights only tell stories?
How many mirages dry up and
how many hopes float away in delusion?

O Lord,
You are the ray of hope in the darkness.

Removing all agonies,
You drew a bright pious mark.

O dear one,
amidst the dark and rainy night,
You shine like the lightning.

O incomparable one,
on the shivering,
yet smiling, niipa bud pollen,
You poured fragrance.

You are the encouraging heavenly melody,
to a broken heart.

You continuously provide inspirations
for the onward movements on the path.

You never encourage to pause due to obstruction.
You are activity to a dead heart.
You are the sweet embodiment,
full of rhythm and colours.

.........................................................

You are the ray of light in darkness.
You remove all the guilt of the mind,
and paint it in white effulgence.

In the rainy night of cimmerian darkness,
You shine forth as lightning!
Into the pollen of thrilled and vibrating flowers
You pour enticing fragrance.

You are the colourful hope of the broken heart.
You provide inspiration to move forward.
You never stop when facing obstructions.

You are the vitality in morose life.
You remain full of rhythm, colour and sweetness.
O Lord, You are so full of rhythm and sweetness!

O Lord,
today I lost myself.

What for did I come to this world?
When I probe into finding out,
I realise that I came to perform action.

I had tiredness from previous movements;
I carried the delusion of many mistakes.

I moved on the path
forgetting my purpose
and spoiled things.

Today, tiredness does not arise;
delusion does no longer enter my mind.
I found my objective in attaining You
by surrendering myself.

O Lord,
when we first met,
in an upsurge of love,
the sun illuminated all sides,
with the crimson colour of dawn.

The flowers emanated their call with open petals,
in a sweet sentiment, forgetting all shyness.
My heart was shivering and its pollen were vibrating.

Today, the birds chirp and sing songs,
filling their nests with rhythm.
That chirping fills love into human beings.

O Lord,
is it You who came singing,
in this rain absorbed in water drops?

The kadamba flower pollen shivers with joy.
The peacock joyously dances and sings in rhythm.
The mental bees in groups rush on
with the hope of reaching their pollen.

The murmuring of the stream is resonates with joy,
and the cane grove vibrates with new enthusiasm.
The six petaled flowers,
full of fragrance and honey,
intensely long for Him today.

You are the goal of my meditation.
You are the dearest of my soul.

For You alone in each generation
I return again & again.

I always want to have You with me.
My restless mind goes out towards You.
I know that You are the only entity
& that You are my dearest one:
the essence of my existence.

What do You desire?
What do You want,
remaining so distant from me?
Why do You play with me?

I am weeping;
is that what You want?
If that gives You pleasure,
then I will go on weeping.

.........................................................

You are the object of my meditation,
You are the dearest of my life.
Lifetime after lifetime
I come to this earth,
just for You, O beloved one!

I want You ever beside me.
I move along Your path without breath nor pause.
I know You are the essence of my life,
my dearest and the most adorable one.

Why do You remain far from me?
Please tell me what You expect from me.
Why do You make me cry
in the games of Your liila (illusive game)?
If my weeping gives You joy,
then let me weep for You.

O Lord,
come into my temple.

In each era,
I have constructed a temple
in expectation of Your arrival.

With a longing from my heart,
I have prepared my altar
that You might relax after carrying out millions of actions.
I continuously look for You
on the path of Your arrival.

I await You with the tinkling sound
of my mental viin'a'.

Numerous springs passed by,
leaving behind paintings of different colours.
Innumerable stars are set in golden light,
but You did not come along that path.

.........................................................

Please come into the temple of my life.
I have preserved this shelter for eons and eons,
for Your advent only.

I erected this altar with the feelings of my life,
With the jingling sound of my viinalike heart.
I hope and look forward to that You
might once rest there after accomplishing millions of deeds.
So many beginnings of spring went by,
which brought about many a colour.
So many stars twinkle with golden light.
And yet, You do not appear on the road.

O Lord,
I attained You
in the flame of fire that burns the ego.

I continue to see Your glory
in the ocean dance that destroys meanness.

In the points of the deep blue sky,
stars are reflected.
In the meager heart,
an unlimitedly deep ocean is present.

In Your creation,
O moon of the universe,
no existence other than You prevails.

Feelings of love and affection,
of energetic love
and of heartfilled love reside in You.
Within You,
all desires and thirsts are located.

That is why,
O formless one,
I cherish You.

O Lord,
what love of Yours!

You smile from a distance,
filling me with colourful hope.

In the collection of blue waters,
You swing vibrantly as an illusive lotus.

O Lord of the divine game,
in an illusory and deceptive style
You come and go sweetness filled.

The nebula in the blue sky,
remains ever smeared with sandal
and Your sweet language of love
is marked with melody and tune.

.........................................................

O Lord,
You have such deep love for me!
Your far away smile fills me with new aspirations.

The lotuses in Your liila (illusive game)
are moving as lively as ever
stirred by the vibrations of ocean waves.
In this sweet game
You are the moving consciousness.

The language of Your love
is filled with the melodies of the blue sky.
The distant nebula remain eversweetened
intoxicated by the fragrance and coolness of sandalwood.

O Lord,
even after losing,
You do not accept defeat.

Amidst sufferings,
You bring living beings to this world,
and subsequently have them struggle
to free themselves from it.

On flowers,
thorns are present.
On tides,
a flow also persists.

The bees await to taste the honey,
the essence of this nectar does not mix.

Providing the experience of pleasure,
You maintain pains along that too.

Washing off the agony of darkness,
You place the garland of glory on us.

.........................................................

O Lord,
although You are in defeat,
You won't accept it.
You bring all creatures for suffering only
and due to it, they leave this creation.

There are thorns with the flowers
and the ebb and rising flow take place side by side.

In the beehive the bees suffer pain
and yet, in it lies the essence of nectar,
without which nothing can exist.

Did You keep pains and sorrows
tied to happiness
to make us realise Your deep feelings?

O Lord,
carrying the load of insult,
You adorn us with the necklace of reputation!

spreading His wings in this darkness?

You do good to all,
and provide us with benevolent intellect.
In Your love is mixed all goodness.

The sky was full of darkness
and within mind it was still darker.
Overcasting it all,
You poured forth effulgence.

The prajapati (a flying creature) glides in light,
small stars smile in light,
and my sweet heart,
with melody and dance,
floats adrift in light.

.........................................................

Who has come,
into this darkness,
opening the wings of the land of light?

You do good to everyone
and hold high benevolent intellect.
You make good sit together with goodness.

There was pitch darkness covering the sky
and in the mind too, darkness prevailed.
You brought about a flow of light
that enlightened the entire black surface.

The butterfly is flying in the light,
the little stars are smiling
and sweet hearts flow
with rhythm and melodies.

I called You much,
but You did not allow Yourself to be attained.
That is why, I cannot but think this way.

When I see the sky touching mountains,
I find that they also keep their head bowed
and remain covered with white ice.
By melting into tears,
they display their reverence for Your pink feet.

The blue ocean,
overwhelmingly with a loud roar,
rushes unto Your greatness.
With arms spread out wide,
filled with sweet vitality,
it desires to get hold of You.

You scattered love all around You.

I seek You.

I know You surround me from all directions;
and yet, I become tired of searching You.

You are present in the high waves of the ocean.
You are in solitude and in the noisy forest.
On every pathway,
You remain with me in a calm and tranquil state.

In the clear blue sky,
in the group of stars,
in forests,
in gardens,
and in the sweet fragrance of flowers.

You remain ever peaceful,
amidst all the known and all the unknown,
O infinite one!

.........................................................

O infinite Lord, I want only You.
I know that You surround me,
but still I cannot find You.

You are in the waves of the great ocean.
You are in loneliness.
You are in the forest and in the chirping of birds.
You are ever present in all walks of life.
You remain calm and quiet.

You are in the clear blue sky with the stars.
You are in in the sweetness of the flowers in gardens forests.
Amidst all known and unknown things,
You are silently present.

O Lord,
who can attain You
by the power of intellect?

All attain their intellect by Your grace only.

Many a time did I come to this earth
and again left,
and observed it all with my intellect.

On each step of mine,
I realised my ignorance.
I came to the conclusion
that, in this world,
You are the only essence.

I used to conceal this ignorance
on my face,
on my eyes
and in my conduct.

And due to the load of agony,
caused by this concealment,
I used to decline further.

When I attained intuition,
then I understood,
that Yours is a non causal grace.

.........................................................

Who can find You with the intellect
when everybody acquires intellect from You?

So many times I came and left this earth.
Everything did I measure with intellect.
I now realise my ignorance at every step I made.
You are the only real substance in this universe.

In my expressions I tried to cover up my ignorance,
with the pressure of that guilt,
I degenerated myself.

But You awakened me
and I ultimately realised
Your grace unexpectantly showering down upon me.

O Lord,
how much longer
will I wander about here and there
in search of You?

If my whole life passes by searching You,
then, when shall I make You sit on my throne?

I love You,
I laugh and cry for You.
I remain eager to listen to Your flute.
Day and night I keep thinking of You.

Behind all my losses
lies a single agony.
O evernew one,
all love remains threaded in a single thread.

O Lord,
who are You who came
to break my long lasting slumber?

To fill light into my dark heart
and sprout leaves on my dry branches?

To flow a tide in my dry river,
and colour my life with golden colours?

By attaining You, I attained all.
On Your arrival,
all my expectations attained fruition.

You made me forget my prolongued tiredness
and enchanted my mind with melodies and rhythms.

.........................................................

Who are You who came and
awakened my long sleep?
You filled my heart with light.

You enlivened dry branches with new buds.
You brought a current of water into the dry river.
You painted my life with golden colour.

Finding You, I found everything.
All my aspirations found their fulfillment in You.
With Your charming tunes
You removed my long tiredness.

O Lord,
sitting in isolation,
all alone,
and meditating on You,
I am threading a garland.

In the sandal breeze,
on the bank of the river,
only Your picture is reflected.

The murmuring sound of the stream
requested me to listen:

"Your companion is everyone's companion.
It is not possible to see only Him."

The sandal breeze told me
it would have been better
had I not loved Him.

He was the galaxy of distant sky,
smiling sweetly from afar.

And yet, by my love,
I am confident of attaining Him
This love also,
I learned from Him alone.

Sitting alone in His ideation,
I made a garland for Him alone.
In the fragrance laden breeze from the mountains,
by the bank of the river,
there was nothing but His presence.

The playful waters making chalchal words
had called me, "Listen, O companion,
Your Parama Purus'a is dear to all,
and so He cannot be seen separately."

The fragrance laden breeze from the mountains
went on saying while blowing:
"It would have been safer not to love Him so dearly,
for He is the star of the sky,
the distant nebula,
He smiles sweetly from the distance."

By the love He taught me, I shall attain Him.

Alone, absorbed in deep contemplation of Him,
I have woven a garland.
Only His shadow was to be seen
on the riverbanks as the southern wind blew.

The bubbling waters said,
"Listen, my friend,
Your Friend is the friend of all;
You will not get the chance to see Him alone."

The southern breeze whispered,
"It would be better had You not loved Him;
He is like a star in the sky a distant nebula;
He sends His sweet smile from afar."

I shall yet attain Him through my love,
And I learned this lesson of love from Him.

O Lord,
at the threshold of light,
in a life that seemed a death well,
O who are You who came?

Opening the door of my dark house,
You stood face to face to me.

I had closed the window,
bolted the door
and was in sleep
in my dark house,
when You woke me up by Your call.

In my mind,
I had been thinking
that whatever I know,
nobody else knows.

You entered into my heart
with the adornment of a king
and pointed at my ignorance.

Who came on this new morning,

No one is unknown to You.

Your coming and going has been with all.
You have hidden Yourself within all.

Nobody is unknown to You,

You brought everybody close to You.
You hide in all.

You know me, but I don't know You,
You accept me, but I do not accept You.

Know and make us accept
that You live with us
in Your playful mood.

O Lord,
in the depth of my mind,
secretly,
I have been seeking You,
O companion!

Tell me,
why did You come to me?
Into this garden,
in silent isolation?
You came and stood smilingly, why?

The flowers have become dull,
the creepers have bowed
and the earth has cracked
due to the intense sun and heat.
Have You forgotten about them?

The cuckoo does no longer coo sweetly,
the papia' bird does not sing in melody and rhythm,
the separated ones cry constantly,
and all are restless with hurt sentiments and agony.

.........................................................

In the core of my heart I ask hidingly,
O Lord,
why have You come for me,
why have You come
and stood with a soft smile
silently in a lonely forest?

The flowers are fading,
perhaps due to the strong sunshine,
and the creepers are bending down.
The earth is broken from this heat.
Have You forgotten about it?

The cuckoos left, singing sweetly.
The nightingales are no more singing melodiously.
The lower beings, estranged in separation of You,
are offended and weep.
You have overwhelmed everyone.

O Lord,
for You
I am threading a garland,
pouring into it all the sweetness of my heart.

Ideating on You
tears float from my eyes.

I have no strength of sa'dhana',
neither any weight of good actions.
That is why, I constantly beg for Your mercy
that, with Your force, my hopes be fulfilled.

I have neither mundane nor spiritual knowledge.
The thread of my love has also not been established.
Only tears from eyes full of pain do I possess.
With what deception do You keep deluding me?

.........................................................

I have strung a garland for You,
with all the sweetness of my heart.
O Lord,
With tears, I have surrendered myself unto Your ideation.
I could not acquire the strength of sadhana (meditation), neither could I earn the credit of holiness.
Therefore, I constantly pray for Your grace.
Could You ever neglect the helpless?

I have no knowledge,
neither mundane nor spiritual,
nor do I possess the devotion filled thread of love.
All I have is a painful stream of tears.
O Lord,
With what excuse would You make me forget You?

Rose flowers without thorns,
tides without flow,
are not the style,
are not the flow of nature,

I am yours and you are mine,

O Lord,
after having come close
You went far away.
From this ruthlessness of Yours,
I am much pained.

Having once stood in the front,
You hid Yourself in the back.
Do not You have a little affection for me?

Raising me to the top of the tree,
why did You remove the ladder?

Handing over the nectar fruit with Your hand,
why did You throw it into the river?

You bloom buds in spring
and then burn them to ashes
in the intense summer sun.

After lighting the camphor lamp,
You allow it to be extinguished,
leaving behind only black soot.

Removing the sweetness from my green heart,
You leave it stranded as if dead.

I seek only a little grace from You,
in order to survive
until,
in Your ideation,
I merge.

O dear Lord,
come into my life,
I have remained awake for ages,
waiting for You.
Please make me Your own.

There is no place for meanness in Your heart
neither is there false vanity in Your world.

You are the ever bright pole star,
showing the proper path and direction to a lost goose.
In which past did I commence my journey?
Towards which unknown destiny do I keep rushing?
My wings are tired and my eyes dull.
Unknowingly, You tied us both in one same thread.

.........................................................

O my dearest Lord, come!
Come into my life and make me Yours.
For ages, I have been keeping vigil waiting for You.

There is no place for negligence towards me in You.
There is no false vanity in Your realm.
You are the everunfading polestar.
Please show the direction to the flying swan that got lost.
In which distant past have I started my journey?
On which unseen path am I moving forward?
My wings are wearied, I feel exhaustion in my eyes.

So, please make me one with the unknown.
Be together with me, tied with the same string.

O Lord,
with what support did You leave me
in this lonely forest?
Please tell me.

Sitting alone,
I am crying
and passing time,
my heart sinks with pain.

The flowers contain their own vital honey within,
but, O companion, You took away all my honey
to some distant heavenly world.

In my mind only one matter appears:
the silent pain of my heart,
mingled with restlessness.
It cannot be forgotten even if attempted.

.........................................................

Under whose confidence am I left alone
in this isolated garden?
I pass the days sitting in lamentation.
My heart faints in torments.

Sweetness is always hidden in flowers.
Yet, all my sweetness has vanished.
O, my own one, where am I left?
In which far distant heaven
and under whose care?

In me, this issue reappears again and again.
An untold heartbeatings sways my mind,
churning an inner longing in the core of my heart.
I cannot forget this forgetfulness of Yours.

the hide and seek game takes place
between the moon and the clouds
and all witness it.

Hence, my mind too
rushes towards the sky.

The moonlight awakens sparkling waves
in the river water
and all the darkness of my mind dissolves into it.

In the soft light of the evening lamp
I wonder why the day passes by.
It moves forward,
singing songs at the call of my moon.

O Lord,
after having heard much
and having thought a lot,
I finally decided to love You.

After roaming through the sky,
in hell,
in mountains and in caves,
only one gem could I find.

I know love does not care for logic nor reasoning.
I do not love You to attain liberation.
I love You to get bliss.
This is the essence of all I know.

I will continue doing Your work
to whatever extent I am able to,
keeping in mind the highest devotion.

I love You to provide bliss to You.
This is the very last thing I have come to know.

.........................................................

I heard much about You
and I thought much about You,
and then learned to love You.

I searched for You in the sky,
on the earth, in mountain caves.
And finally I found a unique jewel in my life.

I know that love does not obey any logic.
By my love I don't want liberation.
I only love You to get Your bliss.
This is the essence that I have come to understand.

I will go on doing Your work with sincere efforts,
keeping the supreme devotion in my mind.
I love You to make You happy.
This is the ultimate thing that I have realised.

The moon reflects itself in the pond
and yet, it remains within it.

Likewise, You continue Your divine game with me,
though You remain within my heart.
And that is why, You are my garland of diamonds.

kindly pardon.

If anytime I forget ideating on You,
immediately correct that.

For onward movement,
a goal must exist.
Aimless movement is a waste.

You are my desideratum,
You are my pole star.
By Your momentum,
all move towards You.

Ideating on You
provides inspiration to move on,
during times of rise and times of decline alike.

You are the path
and You are the traveler.
In Your songs,
I sing of Your qualities.

O Lord,
in the silent night,
making me forget all my pains,
who are You who came to me?
Tell me.

In this indifferent and calm wind,
has the one whom the mind desires,
come to my home today?

The sprouts of grass want greenness.
The big tree wants sandal breeze.
The pollen in flowers tell to the fragrance,
that they too want it.

The stone pieces on the road say
they want to be constantly trampled upon by Him.
The snow peaked mountains
desire to melt under His love.

The buzzing bees in the lotus grove,
secretly beg:
"You are the ray of our hope.
Come on this golden morning."

O Lord,
You are the eternal and absolute truth,
You are self dependent,
ever new and timelessly old.

You are the ultimate shelter for the destitute.
You are the arrival of dawn during darkness.

Those who came, have now departed.
Those who have not yet come,
will likewise come and again depart.

O Lord, You were in the past, You are present now
and You will forever remain,
ever victorious over time.

Your ideation enchants those who sing Your qualities.
In Your existence,
they attain a sweet and eternal life.

I move on silently,
now that my chance has come.
The unknown voice is calling me.
Hence, I shall salute all.

I was with all,
day and night,
in pain and in pleasure,
in various actions,
with different forms and adornments.

Now I wish to bid farewell to all.

I did not serve others,
but gave only discomfort.
I got much joy,
but wanted still more.

The night is over.
The morning light appeared.
Hence, opening the door,
I move on.

.........................................................

Let me go as a silent one.
I dreamed of Your unknown voice
in my relaxed moment.
I bid my pranam (farewell) to everyone.

I kept company with all in their pains and pleasures,
in different works, forms and decorations,
so good bye for today.

I could not give any composure,
I only gave pains.
I got a lot of happiness, and wanted still more.
The night is ending, the dawn is blossoming.
Let me go out, let me open the door.

Who is He endlessly singing His songs?
Who is He playing His flute
in a sweet and enchanting way,
and yet, with silent pain?

He is not concerned about time
nor cares for worldly shyness.

By His distant pull,
He generates pain within me
and fills my heart
with injury and agony.

The introduction of the two of us,
since the first morning,
gradually matured into love.
Place and time drifted away,
and only love remained.

I keep floating on
towards an unknown and heavenly destination.

.........................................................

Who is He singing endlessly for me?
Who is He playing the flute with enchanting sweetness, expressing untold pain?

He surpasses the limitations of time,
not paying heed to the formality of worldly affairs.
He attracts me towards a far distance,
generating inexpressible pain in my heart.

The acquaintance I made on my life's first dawn,
is being gradually filled with love.

Time and place disappeared, only love remains.
I am flowing in light, floating towards a heavenly world.

O Lord,
I am in search of You.

I went to my garden to look for You
but You did not let Yourself be caught.

Oscillating in the swing of hope and dispair,
my mind rushes onto innumerable unknown worlds.

From wisdom talks
and discussions on philosophy,
nothing was ever gained.

I searched You
in the depths of the sea,
in gardens and forests,
in the various beautiful forms of flowers,
in the sky and in the air...
but I did not search You
in the depth of my mind.

.........................................................

I am in search of You.
I keep searching but You do not come to me.
In no place of pilgrimage,
no meadow,
nowhere do I find You.

I swang in the cradle of hopes and desperation
and my mind was lifted unto an unknown world.

I attained nothing in discussions of knowledge
and meetings of logic and reasoning.

I was in quest of You
in the sea,
in deep forests,
in flower gardens,
in the sky,
in the wind
and in so many expressions of flowers,
but never did I try to find You within me.

O Lord,
forgetting You,
I was submerged in deep layers of darkness.
Why did You not prevent this to happen?

I forgot my heart, became cruel,
and adopted devilishness.
Why did You tolerate these afflictions of mine?

Not observing the beacon of light,
neither following the path of logic,
I continued moving about with pride,
blinded by intense attachments.

Not removing my own faults,
but instead blaming others,
I proudly blabbered on,
shaking the sky and the air.

O beautiful Lord,
You came and smiled sweetly.

Spreading heavenly effulgence,
You sat on the inner recess of my heart.
In my garden,
buds were covered with tender leaves.

My mental bee remained awake,
hoping to become absorbed in Your sweetness.

In that loving environment,
with a lively touch,
pollen appeared in flowers.

Enchanted by the sandal breeze,
peacocks then began to dance.

And with divine effulgence,
the ocean started swinging freely.

You entered into my life,
forgetting Your grandeur and attributes.

O Lord,
taking Your sweet ideation,
what happened to my mind?

All worldly bondages snapped off into infinity.
Only tears flow from my eyes,
and my heart has accepted defeat.

In a startling flash,
the stealer of mind won my heart.

Crying and laughing
time and again, coming and going,
do not persist anymore.

At the end of the divine play,
You gave me the most valuable treasure.

a fairy came down,
spreading its colourful wings.

It performed excellent actions
and annihilated all mental darkness.

Let none hate anyone.
Let none snatch away the morsel of food
from other people's mouth.

Let all have education,
medical treatment,
housing and clothing.

All human beings are our brothers.
Let there be no disputes.
Pain and pleasure of one
is pain and pleasure of all.

O Lord,
in Your mental arbour of ma'dhavi flowers,
I sat alone by myself.

In that isolated arbour,
at night,
the moonlight peeped through.

The sandal breeze came and again went away,
gently whispering to me:

"Stay here, understand my agony,
listen to what the peacock says.

Put your spare time into action,
forgetting all agonies of the past.

Look forward with courage,
forgetting what came and went."

O Lord,
leaving You,
where shall I go?
Kindly tell me.

By Your light, the world is illuminated,
and life becomes vibrant with joy.

Right from the beginning of creation,
You remain continuously present
in both life and death,
individually as well as collectively.

O tranquil one,
You pervade each atom,
each life and mind.

There is no place, where You do not exist.
There is no form, where You are not seen.
There is no tune, which You do not sing.
By Your rhythm, all become vibrant.

.........................................................

Where could I go, leaving You, tell me.
The creation is brightened with Your light
and life is glittering with Your happiness.

From the early period of my life
You were with me
in both life and death.

You are in my deep heart,
undisturbed one,
You alone realised me
and only You dwells in every pore
of my cells and mind.

Scarcely a land is there where You do not exist.
Hardly any form exists where You are not present.
There is no melody in which You did not sing.
Everything remains illuminated by Your rhythm.

O Lord,
even after seeing You,
it is difficult to recognise You properly.

Whenever I think
I have recognised You
and understood everything
on the strength of intellect,
then, by striking me secretly,
You make me realise my ignorance.

Whenever I think
I have obtained much
and on the strength of wealth,
could buy anything,
then, by showing me the most valuable gem,
You make me realise my poverty.

with all my heart.

I developed and gained achievements
such as flowers and fruits,
that are part of Your infinite gifts.

I could not see
how much of my own You were.
You gave me so much
as if in a sweetness absorbed colourful dream.

After such a long time
I came to know and recognise You in meditation.

Much my time passed by in vain,
like a blade of grass, floating in the stream.

Today, sam'vit intuition has come
and now, I utilise my time
in singing Your song.

Your effulgence and the sweet pair of Your eyes,

Come, riding the cart of seven horses
through the path taken by the creator of mirages.

Come, and love all.

At the end of the dark night,

For, You smile softly over the horizon.

Let all the pain of darkness be over this time.
Let the agony of inertia come to an end.

Piercing through the bosom of darkness,
the typhoon of light has come.

Many ignorant were enlightened
and many homes became illuminated with lamps.

Now, nobody is distant to anyone.
All are closely related to one another.

There exists only one earth, nourished with nectar.
All are dressed in one adornment.

Let no one exploit anyone.
Let none feed himself by threatening others.
Let all move towards the great
with vibrant faces and raised bosoms.

.........................................................

A typhoonic light has pierced through the darkness.
A lot of unknown became known.
Many houses are now beaming with light.

None is far from anyone, everybody belongs to all.
Each one is nurtured by the same earth.
All are adorned in the same manner.

Nobody is being exploited by anyone.
None is suppressed in fear.
All are moving towards progress
with bright faces and proud feelings.

the earth became so beautiful by Your love.

By Your grace,
a mark of mercy appeared in the floral pollen.

Amidst floral pollen,
evolved melodies,
and the love filled sandal breeze,
fragrance blows by Your inspiration,
churning the minds of the universe.

The greenness filled sweetness of the earth,
disseminates Your quality of greatness.
It rushes towards You,
adoring You
and declaring You as most beloved one.

O Lord,
You are the rhythm of life.
You are the heavenly bliss.
You are the ray of light in the dark ocean.

By Your touch,
the darkness of fear and agony
is utterly wiped out.

By the stream of Your nectar,
You keep all joyful
and happily accept offerings of love.

You announce in the core of my heart
that I am never alone.

In Your ideation my mind becomes fragrant.
In Your vibration,
the three worlds smile
and the forests,
the gardens
and the frenzied breeze,
all become absorbed in sweetness.

O Lord,
if You do not come
what is point of my lighting the lamp?

What is the use
of my carrying flowers from the water or the land?

Discussing, selecting and utilizing
various tunes and melodies in my songs is useless.

Expecting Your arrival,
the garland of flowers,
turns out to have been
vainly prepared for Your welcome.

I was determined not to think about You,
yet, Your ideation keeps sneaking through.

Hence, in expectation of Your arrival,
I look onto the path,
keeping the door of my heart open.

.........................................................

If You do not come,
what is the use of illuminating the lamp?
What is the use of plucking colourful flowers
in land and water?

What is the use of singing songs and tunes?
What is the use of the flower garland,
which was meant for You?

I decided not to think about You, but I still do.
I look unto the path in expectation of You,
keeping the door of my heart open.

Suddenly, surging vitality,

to mean thoughts and actions.
By giving me a jerk,
You broke my sleep

who are You who came
from beyond the ocean of darkness
to make flowers bloom and to radiate light?

You came,
breaking the knot of death,
to fill me with life
and for the removal of fear.

On the path of movement,
You remain.
Hence, there is no fear of getting lost.
You remain awake and fully alert
day and night.

You rectify my mistakes
and charge me with hope.

Whatever is required,
You provide it all.
You make all necessary arrangements for my life.
You smile in the crimson colour of dawn.
You awaken and fulfill my hunger.

looking towards the sky,
what do you wait for?

In the silent night,
what do you talk about
with the moon?

The one who illuminated the dark world,
who won the dirty mind with love,
who filled the songless heart with melody...
is it for Him you thread a garland?

You consider neither gain nor loss.
Your heart remains fully concentrated
with only His love.
Your mind rushes towards Him,
who you love, without pause.

You have no bondages.

You are above all dogma.
You bring light into darkness.

Who, if not You, will understand,
the tearful agony of my heart?
Tell me.

To whom but You can I recount

You are the flame in the lamp
to those whose life has become hopeless.
You pull the distressed ones close to You.

You are the effulgence
that radiates in the three worlds,
and within it, I quickly find You.

Because You exist,
everything else exists.
Indeed, You know all.

O Lord,
I kept awake the whole night,
awaiting You,
but You did not come.

You were in an unknown world
and went away to an unknown world,
without saying anything.

Many days and nights passed by.
My garland of shefa'li flowers dried up.

The flowers in my chignon withered away
but still, You did not come into my fold.

You did not mention Your coming and staying,
neither did You forget about it.
You did not You show any displeasure about it either.

If You want, stay in my heart forever
but do not forget my love.

.........................................................

I kept long vigils waiting for You to arrive.
But You did not come to me, O Lord.

You came from an unknown realm,
And You left for an unknown realm.
But You did not tell me where You went.

How many days have passed!
How many nights!
The shephali flower garland has withered
The flowers in my hair have faded and fallen on the ground.
You never came within my reach.
I will not entreat You to come to me,
I will not beg You to remain with me.
Nor will I take any offence over it.

If You wish, stay with me always
but do not forget my love.

O Lord,
I have kept awake the whole night,
in expectation of You,
but You did not come.

You were in an unknown world,
and, without saying a word,
went back to an unknown world.

How many days and nights have passed?
The garland of shefa'li flowers has dried up.
The flowers in my chignon have withered away.
But You never came into my fold.

You did not tell anything
about Your coming or Your staying,
nor did You show any displeasure over it.

If You want , forever stay in my heart
but do not forget my love.

O Lord,
You do not know,
how much pain I endure for You.

Day and night,
I search from path to path.
Do not You see me?

Right since the dawn of creation,
I have been moving on Your path
drawn by Your pull.

In sleep,
in dream,
in slumber and
in my awakened state,
I could not come to know You.
Do not You understand that?

In the grass,
in shrubs,
in trees
and in creepers,
I moved on searching.

I know that You remain hidden within them.
Tell me, why did You not come into my fold?
Do not You have mercy on me?

.........................................................

You do not know
how much I suffer for You,
You never know.

I keep searching day and night,
on every path.
You do not pay heed to me,
You never do.

Since the dawn of the creation,
I started out my journey,
propelled by Your attraction.

I do not know anybody else but You,
in sleep, dream
and my awakened state of mind.

I search and tread the path
and find You in grasses,
bushes, trees and plants.
I know You are hiding there.

Please tell me why
You do not come to me.
You have no compassion,
You do not.

Who is He standing on my path?
Tell me.

You told me that You would not allow me
to leave the proper path
and move on the wrong path.

In the front a deep pit lurks.
It is covered by a dark screen.

With my eyes,
I am unable to see it.
For, there is no end to obstacles.

The prison of ego,
and loads of
knowledge,
intellect,
name and fame
all bind me.

Removing these heaps,
and taking on You all my loads,
You taught me the practice of attaining You.

.........................................................

Who are You, who You stood in my way?
Let me know.
I requested You to leave my path,
but You did not let me go on that wrong path.

In front lies a huge ditch,
covered with cimmerian darkness.
My eyes never paid attention to see it.
Only because You hindered me, I escaped the fall.

Prisons of ego used to surround me.
They were bondages of knowledge,
intellect, name and fame.
Shattering those bondages,
You took my burdens,
and taught me the art of sa'dhana (meditation).

Stay in my heart,
crush my pride
and take me close to You.

Under the impulse of worldly attachments,
I must not forget You due to inertia.

Hence, with tearful eyes,
I beg for You mercy,

Days come and go,

becomes lost in a vacuum,
and cannot but declare
that You are the most revered one,

O Lord,
having come into my life,
why did You again leave?
Please tell me.

You kept me tied to the floral thread of hope,
and going away, left me stranded with tearful eyes.

I was bound in the stone prison (of materialism),
yet, in the stones itself I bloomed a flower.

That flower I offered to You,
with all my heart.

O eternal companion of mine
from beginingless time,
You are the stream of infinite nectar on this earth.

In fire and in air,
in all entities,
You remain vibrant with vigour.

.........................................................

If You came, why did You leave again,
please tell me why You went away.
You kept me in hope,
whilst my eyes were full of tears.

I was captured in prisons of crudeness,
I had grown flowers there.
I offered those flowers to You
and my heart became refreshed.

O companion, since beginningless time,
Your endless charm flows over the earth,
in the air, in fire, in all entities.
Verily, You are the essence of life.

How many flowers have I collected,
constantly meditating on You?

My dry heart is moistened with Your name.
My valueless life is full of Your ideation.
My restless heart locates itself within You.

I am mad for Your vision.
You do come close
but do not stay nearby.
You do not speak with sweet lips.
Is there no attractive force of love in me?

.........................................................

Why did You not leave after expressing
what made You offended?

So many nights have passed without sleep,
so many flowers have been collected.
With this in mind, I keep doing Your dhyana (deep meditation).
My dry heart melted with Your name.
My meaningless life became filled with Your bhava (ideation). This restless mind of mine became absorbed in You.
I turn mad for seeing You.

You came near me, but did not sit beside me.
You did not speak with sweet lips.
Do not You have affection for me?

I have got You within my reach this time,
I have got You within my reach.

Whatever things You may be busy with,
whatever works You may be dealing with,
I shall never let You go easily anymore.

Everyone of us has to do something.
Nobody can remain without work,
this is how the world moves.

You work hiding, secretly,
afraid that anybody would catch You.
I have discovered Your tricky game.

O Lord,
crossing the high sea,
You came to my home.

On the solitary path,
You never pause due to fear or risk.

I had not made any preparations for Your welcome.
No useful arrangement was made.
I had only an injured mind and heart,
but filled with love and soaked in tears.

I did not do anything for You.
I simply wandered about behind mirages.
But You held my hand
and with a loud trumpet sound,
showed me a new sun.

O Lord,
Your love and song,
removes the darkness of mind.

By taking Your name
and by Your song,
even intense clods are removed.

I remain by and large forgetful of You,
and call You only when trapped in sorrow.

Yet, my pain and sorrow
shakes Your inner core.

I continue committing sins day by day,
and keep asking You to forgive me.

Due to pity,
caused by my begging for pardon,
Your heart starts vibrating.

Looking at You and remembering You,

Your call is an all penetrating flow of nectar.
O sweetly fragrant,

remain with me for infinite time,
ever flooding the earth with nectar.

You will remain with us through endless time.
A current of the sweetest nectar floods this world.

On the path of this journey towards light,
why do you sit in the darkness?

On this shining cart of effulgence,
why do you maintain
discrimination and aversion?

The horizon at the end of the land
calls with hand signals and speaks in sweet language.

Respond to that call and move forward.
Leaving the intense slumber,
wake up, wake up.

The stars and nebulas of the far sky
are not distant,
none is distant.
You are not alone.

Forgetting detachment, recognise all.
Do not think that you are far away.

O Lord,
on a moonlit night,
silently and in isolation,
You came into my mind
and smiled with absorbed sweetness.

The moon in the sky was absorbed
in playing hide and seek with the clouds.

You were pouring nectar
on the three worlds
by sweet gestures
and an overwhelming smile.

The petals of flowers,
leaving all bondages,
moved into the distant sky.

The ever pardoning and beautiful Lord,
with charming love,
floated in the niipa flower garden of my heart,
kindling the lamp of life.

O Lord,
even constantly searching You
in forests and in groves,
I was unable to see You.

I do not know whether You are
in mountains, oceans or in galaxies.

Do not You have feelings
for those who love You dearly?

Don't You have any place in Your mind
for those who offer their life to You?

Today, I understood
that You reside in my mind only
and that You illuminate it.

Struggling to search You in the outer world,
I had only sent my nearest away from You.

.........................................................

I searched for You in the woods and in the forest
but I failed to find You anywhere.

I searched for You on land,
in the ocean, in the neblua,
in every nook and corner I searched.
I don't know where You are.

Do You not desire to think of those
who have immense love for You?
Do You not have any place in Your mind for those
who have dedicated their life for Your cause?

But I realise today, You reside in my mind.
You brought effulgence and dispelled my ignorance.
Searching in the outer world,
I am sending my nearest to the farthest place.

sitting and waiting for You,
the days pass by.

Alas, during this grand festival of light,
why do You remain afar?

Flowers after flowers bloom,
and, due to pride, wither away.

All long for Your touch and joy.
By dance, song,
rhythm and tunes
I wish to keep You blissful.

If You do not look at me,
it all will go to waste.

O Lord,
You told me You would come again,
but You went away
and forgot about it.

Perhaps Your words of love
were only of a superficial nature,
and therefore,
You did not understand my pain.

The beauty of my once decorated house is gone.
The bondage in my chignon became loosened.
The garland loop on my hairdo withered away.
All is left, is my earnestness.

With concentrated fore,
I await to hear Your footstep.
In the hope of Your arrival,
and with an impatient heart,
I count days and time.

.........................................................

You promised to return,
but You went away
and forgot Your words.

You loved me only in words,
that's why You do not feel my pain.

The beauty of the decorated house has faded,
also gone is the make of my fair.
The decorating flowers have fallen,
only agony remains.

I am alert with all my patience,
waiting to hear Your footsteps.
I count the days in hope of Your arrival,
as my life is full of worries.

was like the light of a firefly.
You glimpsed at me,
lifting Your eyelids.

Today, how far are You from me?
I find myself in the depth of darkness.
Lift me up from shelterlessness onto Your shelter.

I know effulgence as truth without fearing darkness.
O origin of effulgence,
keep me at the base of Your holy feet.

O Lord,
You came in the new morning,
on the path of light,
providing bliss to all.

Floating into the stream of beauty,
with a soft mind,
You removed the agony of all.

For You,
age after age,
hundreds and hundreds of songs
are sung.

Many invocations are carried out for You.
Many names and mantras
are recited with intense force.

You came to this earth,
to provide satisfaction to all.

All know You are beyond form and attributes,
and yet, everyone longs to see You appear
in form and attribute.

Keeping in mind everyone's desires,
You made all understand the absolute truth,
in meditation and in intellect.

Why did the bee come into mind
and why did it again fly away?

Why does the papiha' bird sing in the grove?
At whose call did it respond?

In my mind,
I could see who sat in the forest smiling.

Why has this happened this way?
Why is He hiding within my mind?
And why does He stay in the forest?

Mentally, tell me all about these affairs.

.........................................................

Why did the blackbee appear in my mind,
and where did it again disappear to?
Why did the nightingale sing in the forests,
to whose call was it responding?

I see someone sitting within my mind.
When I am in the forest, I see Him smiling.
Why has all this happened?

Why is He hiding within my mind?
why is He present in the forests?
Please unveil to me these secrets.

O Lord,
whatever anybody is to tell me,
I will continue loving You.

Your love and my song jointly play the flute
in the mental Gokul.

In the eternal garden of Vrindavan,
I secretly roam.

You are the gem of my eyes,
I exert to search You.

My mental Jamuna river
flows in a reverse direction,
and speaks of Your love.

With You only lies my world.
And it is You who all inhabitants of the world seek.

.........................................................

No matter who calls me what,
I love You so dearly.
The immortal songs of Your love
resound within my eternity.

Always in the forests of Vrindavan,
I wander around in secrecy.
You are the pupil of my eyes,
I aspire to find You.

The Yamuna river of my mind overflows,
and tells stories of Your love.
This experience of mine is for Your sake,
and it is for You
that all the people of the earth aspire.

and fill it with sweetness.

I have no flower to offer You,
nor any provision to satisfy You.

By Your touch,
sweetness will fill my heart.
Come and decorate it with beauty.

Touch the hot sand in it,

bring about more and more coolness.

By Your touch,
by a sweet flow of mind,
fill and enliven it with sweetness.

Kindling my lamp,
I could remove the darkness of mind.

To remove the darkness of mind,
nothing was at my disposal.

Outside, deep darkness prevailed,
yet, it mixed with the smile of stars.

Due to meanness,
the darkness of mind further darkened.

Secretly, within my mind,
I bring a lamp with the oil of ideation
and place it on a series of waves,
that arise from the ocean of beauty.

In the firmament of my mind,
I keep on remembering You each moment.

You are the heavenly effulgence;
I am a meager flame of lamp.

You are the nucleus of all thoughts.
You exist unseen in all actions.

The whole world and the universe are outside me.
But, sheltering them totally,
You remain greatest.

You are the gravest Guru
and You are Greatest.
In Your world, none is alone.

In which long forgotten night,
forgetting You,
did I move along the wrong path?

Today, rectifying my mistake,
I came back unto Your lap.
I observed that the wheel of Your cart
revolves around pain and pleasure.

Which unknown traveler has come,
raising vibrations in my mind?
He brought the distant one close
and removed the bondage of obstructions.

He brought whatever only existed in the psychic realm, into the world of forms.

With sound, touch, smell and flow,
the flood of experiences arose.

The mystic traveler
for whom I had been waiting for ages,
responded to my call.

He came to my abode without considering
whether it was an auspicious moment or not
for Him to come.

It disappeared unto an unknown realm.

"Fill love into each era,

O Lord,
You are the nucleus of the universal cycle,
You are all in one.

You existed in the beginning,
and will remain until the end,
though Your end, I ignore.

In the fragrance of flowers,
in the impulse of vitality,
in songs,
on paths,
in the sweet breeze,
hidden behind it all,
You softly smile
and keep weaving the web of imagination.

In past days,
in future days,
Your glory ever shines
on land, water and sky.

You remain within
and outside the perifery of time
You cannot be measured by days.

O Lord,
the star in the sky
recounts that You are my only companion.

The dust of the earth dances
and conveys
my day and night long longing for You.

The soft sandal breeze admits
there is no other existence than Yours.

The waves accompanying the ocean rumor
they want that one entity only.
The sparkling of light in the distant sky,
passing through rainfalls,
display His love and affection.

The pollen of floral fragrance,
carrying His message,
float adrift into infinity.
Each atom of the human mind
sings the glory of the one
who has been guest life after life.

O Lord,
spreading the effulgence of light,
who is that unknown You who came?

Pouring forth a golden flash of heavenly light,
You filled me with inspiration.

You know all my past,
You weave the net of the future,
You understand all the feelings of my mind.
I, on the other hand,
do not understand anything at all.

Whatever work I do,
I do it for You,
and, due to Your grace,
I remember You.

Only You know

Today,
clusters of stars appear in the sky,
but in my mind, darkness lingers on.

Due to whose absence,
day and night,
an immeasurably immense ocean of agony
has built up?

In the floral garden,
there is no fragrance.
The sky is sullen and without moon.

Ice seems bereft of coolness,
and honey has become tasteless.

The peacock,
losing its beautiful tail,
weeps and cries.

Forsaking vitality,
a wandering,
dancing pair,
has forgotten the rhythm of time.

O Lord,
my days pass by in pain and pleasure,
yet, You still don't come.

Though I see light,
the dark curtain,
covering me up in deep blackness,
is not removed.

The soft smile of my flower
silently fades in the depth of the night.

The nectar of the full moon
is destroyed
by the hunger of time,
and the moon
becomes overpowered
by the shadow Ra'hu.

Looking at it all,
my mind sorrows
but is unable to speak.

Yet, somehow, I secretly console my mind,
asking myself:

Why these imaginations of light and shade?
Tell me why You created this world?

come to the abode of the (devotee)?

Leaving the flowers in the forest,
it came to your mental flower.

Probably He does not like wild flowers,
and to your mental flower there is no comparison.

He who has given you a mind,
ever spreads His honey.

Listen! The Lord likes you
and is ready to love your mental honey!

In a corner of your home
in meditative posture,
let Him enjoy your honey fully.

In this sweet evening time,

Roses bloom in many forests,
and blossom at Your pink feet.

By their beauty,
my mind becomes enchanted.
My eyes do not wish to deviate from it.

Stars twinkle in the far sky,
and sing the song of Your love.

What a pitiable condition this is,

how can so much love ever be forgotten?

with a soft fragrance,

You spread illumination all around.

In the swinging of tall grasses,
You vibrated my heart
and with clean dew,
You washed my path.

You loved and won my heart,

You went away

along with hundreds of new experiences.

You poured forth love,
snatched away my mind,

You surrounded me in an infinite world,

You are unlimited.
O ever new one!

In the divine and delusive game of creation,
You dance on vigorously.
Amidst the chirping of birds,

I hear Your voice.

O You who are so difficult to attain!
For, even hearing You,
I might perhaps ignore.

O Lord,
on a rainy night,
intoxicating me
with the fragrance of the ketakii flower,
and with reddish feet,
You came to my home.

Into the heart of the earth,
that had become distressed
by the three types of afflictions,
You filled peace.

On that night,
a frenzied sandal breeze blew,
intoxicating all.
It sang,
resonating in the tune of clouds (megha malha'r).

In that environment,
under the impulse of love,
I gently saluted You.

That day and moment
I have not forgotten,
the memory of which
keeps resonating in my heart each moment.

Its sweetness
surrounds all intuition
and floats adrift with melody.

From those who looks at You,
adorned in enchanting dresses of love,
why do You keep Yourself away like a stranger?

To those who love You

How many times

And how many winters and springs
have since gone by?

You did not come
nor did You sing Your song.

mountains decayed into anthills,
the counting of time is coming to an end,

Coming with the soft breeze,
who is He who swung the flowers?

At the end of pride and unchecked emotions,
whose sweetness did You take away without asking?

You came and went away without informing me.
How much more charming this is, O Lord!

Your coming announcement
would only have increased curiousity.
This is why You came without informing me,
intoxicating my mind with beauty and colour.

What a new divine game this is,
ever new each moment!
Your love is beyond expectations.
You gave all without expecting anything in return.

O Lord,
I think about You day and night.
My mind ever wants to contemplate You.

The pleasing memory of Your sweet smile,
fills hope into destitute hearts.

O charioteer of the cart of effulgence,
I know You don't consider any particular date,
then come to my home anytime,
so that in golden light, nectar may spread.

With which thought did what happen to me?
Due to what kind of nectar
did my mind become intoxicated,
that, leaving everything,
it rushed off in a single flow,
without ever looking sideways?

O Lord,

and in hundreds of thoughts,
ever fulfilling the hopes of mind.

I longed for You in the fragrance of incense
and in the light of lamps,
when merging my entire sweetness into one.

You came in innumerable adornments,
in numerous ideations and actions,
in each moment through the sandal breeze
You came in memories,
You came day and night.

You danced in rhythms and melodies,
gently floating within and beyond the periphery of time.
I find You in the isolated and dense forest,
in the depth of mind in smiling illumination.

O Lord,

You are beyond this world.
You are the illumination of beauty.

Nothing is impossible for You,
for, the seven arenas are threaded in Your mind.

There is nothing You cannot do.
You hold innumerable forms.

After the ending, You again start,
filling the whole arena of ma'ya' (illusion).
You are excellent amongst the best,
worshipable amongst adorables.

You are difficult to be known,
even if very close.
You resonate with tunes.

Tell me, how many more dates will I have to count?

come in the sandal beeze,
crossing hundreds of obstacles.

Appear in beautiful forms in my mental temple,
and smile with a soft touch.

You fill their life of those
who come and again go without desire,
and without looking back,
with beauty and flavour,
and love them with pleasure and vitality.

There is no invocation nor farewel to You,
neither is there sacrifice nor encircling.

You have been in the past,
You are present now
and will forever remain.

Hence, even without looking at You,
I ever call You.

From a distance, they vibrate in combination.
I want to go but am unable to do so.

It is impossible to forget the affection that You showered. In each particle Your mercy was filled.
This creation exists because You exist.

The origin of light is lies in Him.

With radiations and ideative feelings,
You brought onto this earth, a heavenly song.

Hiding behind the hills and forests,
the sun sets.

The light fades,
and darkness intensifies.
The day becomes lost.

When the sun shone,
darkness turned illuminated,
and yet, with the setting of the sun,
it's memory, too, flew into oblivion.

The sun comes,
riding the seven coloured charriot in white.
Intoxicating the mind with crimson colours,
it rises.

O sun, come this time!
Smile sweetly on this earth.
Living beings await you.
They look towards the east
in search of warmth.

unhindered by snow and fog,
You came,
O effuglent one!

That day, even in dark moments,
You brought a rhythmic song
filled with melody and dance.

By the touch of dawn,
the earth was coloured
and into its calmness,
into its wavelessness,
entered a flow of vitality.

All eanestness became filled
with idea, beauty, flow and language.
O personification of consciousness,
You remain ever admirable!

Millions of ages passed by,
yet, the flow of creation continued.
The infinite and immeasurable
flow of Your mercy remained.

With affectionate sweetness
and blessing with love,
You smilingly told,

"I am here,
no total dissolution of the universe
will ever take place.
Take this for granted."

You are beyond speech and thought;

By Your grace and mercy,
let them float in the flood of love.

During calm nights and solitary mornings,
I love You wholeheartedly.

Expecting You,
my heart remains overwhelmed and restless.
It contains all feelings
of pain, pleasure and sorrow.

I played the game of pain and pleasure
during a time of light and shade.

All my game involved only You,
and thus, I became absorbed in You.

This, in short, is the history of my realisation.

Only noncompromising and limitless love did I possess, which was what brought You into my fold.

I did not have the knowledge of philosophy,

received the wee bit of Your grace.

Those who are yet to come
will receive the flow of Your mercy

brought down a flood

You descend to play the divine game.

O most beloved Lord,
Secretly and unseen,
You entered my mind.

No one saw or noticed
Your uncomparable love.

In the autumn and summer evenings,
and in the floral fragrance of the smiling spring,
You came smiling,
and sang Your song.

Nobody understood my realisation.
The sweet jingling of Your anklebells
overwhelmed my afflicted mind.

You came
and spoke words,
that were filled
with the nectar of heaven.

Today, the spring of my life
decays due to negligence.

The flower with its nectardrops
bends low its old leaves.
And tender new leaves dry out untimely
due to negligence.

The sandal breeze of my floral garden went away.
Its vibrating gracefulness
became replaced by the dust of storms.

Where are You at such a bad time of mine?
O Lord, come and smile overwhelmingly.

Come to show the proper direction
to this direction lost person.
Except You,
there is no one at this bad time, alas.

O Lord,
You came and kindled light,
and brought humanity to this world.
/ filled this earth with a human touch.

You loved,
You poured forth nectar,
and aroused softness in minds.

The earth was torn and broken
due to strokes,
and, due to divisive intellect,
became fargmented
into hundred parts.

Mother earth
carried marks of pain
all over her body.

You provided illumination,
and applied ointment on wounds.

To whose call of pain and crying,
did You listen?
With assurance, You removed the terror,
and told:

"I am here to protect you from pain".

O Lord,
on this moonlit night,
in calm seclusion,
I create my song for You.

Listen to my story,
understand my pain,
and end my restlessness.

I wish to tell You only one thing:
Why, if You love me,
do not You come near?

This distance and unkindness may today end.
Only one agony is to be understood:
Even after praying,
I do not find You close.

Whatever I may speak,
all that, I offer unto Your holy feet.

O Lord,
who are You who came into my mind?

The skies,
the air,
by Your love,
are frenziedly vibrating within You.

You do not want anything
nor do You say anything.
You only want to give,
You do not want to take.

But still,
I keep awake to give You something,
Your merciful eyes
must not ignore this nodemand of mine.

You are so close to me
that, from me,
You do not want anything.

I now understand,
that You want my "I" feeling.

I love You,
my mind frenzies.
It is ready to offer You everything and anything.

and crush the pride of my mind.
Merge with life,
and remove the limit that meanness imposes.

Whatever someone may secretly be thinking or doing,
You know all equally,
You move with all mentally.
There is nothing outside You.

You are everyone's refuge in pain and in pleasure.
You equally care for all,
and, moving ahead,
You keep an eye on everyone.

You appeared in the enchanting and illusive game, ma'ya', through the sweetness of smiling youthfulness.

You were alone in the earliest break of the day,
and secretly unveiled Yourself.

By Your joy and a touch of life,
the world became filled with vitality and greenness.

You danced through different sounds with colourful steps.
By Your ideation,
mortals became absorbed in the enchantment of bliss.
O what glory!

Come into my life secretly and in seclusion,

I shall keep You in the casket of my heart,
where I have reserved a space for You.

Even should You not love me,

I just wish to see You from a distance.

So... do not come close,
but simply smile from a distance,
I have kept Your arrival path decorated.

Into the depth of my mind,
He came on His own
and continuously calls me at all times.
Tell me, how shall I keep away from Him?

He started calling me
right from the first dawn,
sometimes during the day
and sometimes during the night,
displaying a red glow.

Right from the appearance of dawn,
till the ascent of the evening's star,
He calls me with the sweetness of mind.

Thinking Him to be unknown,
I did not reply to His call.
And, due to the hesitation of my mind,
I did not come into His fold.

Now, on this auspicious moment,
removing all hesitations,
and keeping myself awake,
I came.

Pushing aside the curtain of darkness,
O effulgent entity,
who are You who came?

Without bothering for obstacles on the path,
You came,
stamping over them
as though they were mere pebbles.

Obstacles surrounded each of Your steps,
with the twinkling of an eye,
You tore them apart in the sound of the wind.

Like a free bird, You flew on,
spreading Your wings unobstructed.

On Your path,
nobody is afraid of hypocrat's crookedness and fraud.

Seeing light,
the dark fog vanishes.

The descent of light on earth
is embraced by all.

and the dark fog dissolved.

An unbound life filled the world
with irresistible speed.

I will not heed to any obstacle,
nowhere will I stop.

I will not be suppressed
in fear of threatening gestures.

I shall move ahead
in the tide that today came about.

I know that forward movement is life.
And that staying behind calls for death,
I have also understood.

Striking light into my eyes,
to break my slumber,
who is that who came?

.............................................................

You seized sleep from my eyes.
You filled my room with a sweet fragrance.
You came at night,
and removed the darkness of my heart.

The sky was full of clouds,
the air was filled with anticipation.
Nobody was waiting to welcome You.
You came into my heart's night.

You came and played on the viina' of my heart.
You went away silently
and nobody was there to bid You farewell.

O Lord,
who are You who came
with a lamp in hand
to show me the path to travel on
in this dark night?

I do not know nor recognise You,
yet, You came near me
and loved me irresistibly.

In the dark,
I could not recognise the path.
No one was with me to call my own.

I continued calling an unknown friend,
when You poured into my ear
the proper name (mantra)
to address and call You.

I had been moving with previous momentum, intoxicated with attachment to the path, aimlessly rushing about without pause.

You came
and showed to me the proper path,
and told to move on a straight path.

in the language of this song.

The light that emanated from Your sweetness
now smiles in front of me.

The sweetened lines of fruits and flowers
speak about You.

The breeze comes with a sweet touch
and happily announces You.

You unperturbedly poured out endlessly sweet love.

Awaiting You, I sat on the sandy beach
on the shore of the eastern sea.

Bearing the agony of an unknown pain,
You remained very far.

I wonder, were You hidden
in the deep recess of my own mind?
Tell me, tell me.

At that time, flocks of geese,
with wings spread out,
flew far away
to where the sky and the sea meet.

In the hope of attaining You,
the essential fragrance of my floral wreath,
danced with great upsurge of emotion.

I did not keep track of days,
neither do I remember dates.
I did not record a dairy of events either.

O Guest, when shall we meet again?

On the western setting side of the ocean,
beyond the path of no return
took place our encounter.

O mystic traveler,
a long time has passed
since I met You in the pala'sh grove,
when You endearingly whispered into my ears.

With the rhythmic dawn of maddening string sounds,
the unending rows of pala'sh flowers
turned fiery
and every nook and corner of the pala'sh forest
vibrated with new life.

The mystic traveler is so near
to this expressed universe,
and yet, He remains so far from all.

No amount of intellect,
no amount of logic
can catch hold of Him.

O Lord,
You are present in all leaves and flowers.
You poured light into light.

You are present in risings and in settings,
thus pouring colours into colours.

You know who does what,
You know who lost his/her path.

You responded to the call
of all those under distress
and bestowed unbound love on them.

In Your world no one remains alone,
no one is helpless,
no one remains covered up in fog.

You are dear to all.
You are revered by all.
You remain mingled up with all.
You dissolve Yourself into all.

O Lord,
in Your vision,
my eyes remain ever awakened.

They do not heed to consolations,
and remain ever drenched.

What am I to do?

Come into my home!
I shall hold You tight,
and bind You by the twine of love.

I will not leave You,
for, I am Yours.

Your new and beautiful effulgence excells.
Your sweet flute bestows realisation.

I am yours,
You are mine.

All is but the divine game of one.

O Lord,
on this colourful night full of moonlight,
who are You who came,
spreading Your wings?

When looking at You,
it seems to me as though I recognise You.

But due to the presence
of the black coating of ma'ya' (illusion)
on my eyes,
I am unable to fully assimilate You.

The ketakii flower secretly tells me
that this friend is a polymorphic entity,
sometimes displaying a close person,
sometimes hiding.

He consoles with a sweet and humming voice.
He tells me
He would respond to my calls,
even if hiding from me.

For His descend
from the heavenly abode
down into the garden of my mind,
I wait and count time.

Tonight, with unexpressable agony,
I think of Him in defeat.

He is a distant friend,
the moon of the far sky.
He snatched away
all the sweetness of my heart.

And yet,
even being lost,
I want Him,
and constantly listen to His footsteps.

Will He not come
and sing His song to me,
looking at my face once again?

The lamp of my hope tells me
He will come,
He will definitely come,
for, He is the central gem of my inner bud.

You are my sole hope and confidence.

You are the sweet night in spring.
You are the symbol of love and satisfaction.
You are the hope of a distressed mind.

After wastefully roaming about in various places,
I finally came to Your door.

You gave me assurance of results,
and fulfilled my expectation.

I did want to attain You,
I only wanted more from You.
After attaining You,
I realised I got everything I expected.

I took from You much more

I got what I never expected.

You gave in excess,

and the darkness of night has gone.

This sweet news spread
into the sky
and into the air
within moments.

The deep darkness,
which seemed impossible to cross,
was resisted within fractions of time
and the endeavour carried out at night
became fruitful.

Living beings submerged theselves in bliss,
flowers prepared themselves to select their choice.

The river is full to the brim with nectar
and has become restless.

You are the only eternal entity.

All rush to attain You

The earth lay submerged in darkness,

O human beings,
losing your senses,
where are you rushing towards?

You polluted the sky and the air
and turned the world into a hell.

You declared you were superior
and that the animals,
the birds
and the vegitatation were inferior to you.

You move on proudly,
almost kissing the sky.

Do not you forsee
the shadow of death,
approaching with accelerated speed,
to supress all your movements?

The strength of providence
declared you highest being,
and gave you greatest intellect.

Hence, rush on unobstructed,
ever towards the stars.

................................................

O human being, losing Your awareness,
where are You heading toward,
poisoning the air and the sky
and turning the earth into hell?

You used to say You were superior,
and that the animals, birds and trees
were inferior to You.

But Your ego is sky kissing.
Don't You see the shadow of time
approaching rapidly to put a stop
to all Your speed?

By God's grace You have been given a superior body.
With Your intellect You have conquered space.
Go on moving from star to star
without being deterred by any obstacle.

A distant tune came today,
vibrating the sky and the air
of the entire universe.

The unit minds in the world
started dancing,
removing all barriers of fear and shame.

Kadamba flower pollen began to shiver,
cane groves became engrossed in quiver,
a ketakii fragrance absorbed breeze blew,
and rushed unto the unknown.

The peacock started dancing,
finding the rising sun close.

The jasmine fragrance
opened the gates of heaven.

The soft and sweet breeze
whispered into my ears
that the unknown traveler stands at the gate.

O Lord,
awaiting You
my life passes by.

I shall continue to call
to awaken sounds in Your deaf ears.

Many an autumn came
and many a spring smiled.

The path was full of flowers,
but You did not come.
I remained standing alone.

The fragrance of flowers floated away.
The mental moon no more smiles.

At the sandy beach of the ocean of time,
I continue observing.

O Lord,
with silent feet,
You secretly came into my eyes,
O my most beloved.

No one could know or see that,
No one could understand
this sweetest love of Yours.

At that time,
with murmuring sounds it rained,
and lighting danced with outbursts.

Outside threat,
inside charm...
that form of Yours was at that time
most materialised.

Then, the pollen of juhi flowers,
through the moist breeze,
came floating about,
encircling the deep darkness.

In the depth of my mind,
in a corner of my heart,
my ego vanished away,
O innermost one.

O Lord,
You are present now
and will continue to remain.
Do not go away, ignoring me.

To who else,
if not to You,
shall I convey the feelings of my mind,
tell me?

Those who came
and those who stay
again go away,
leaving behing all the beauty of the earth.

Only You existed,
only You are present now
and only You will forever stay.
I know You do not come and go.

Those bound by place and time
undergo the change of coming and going.

You are beyond place and time
and do not heed to any bondage.

I wandered about here and there in this world
and have now finally reached the proper place.

Crossing the dark fog and attaining light
I became glorified.

Here, no worldly shyness persists.
Hatred and backbiting have no more quarter.

Beyond condemnation and praise,
I found shelter at Your feet.

I broke the bondage
of dynasties,
manners,
praise and defamation, of fear,
and of all egoistic feelings,
which, in the past, had kept me bound.

O charioteer of the golden chariot!
You steer the golden and illusory chariot.

The sun sets in the west.
All darkness is destroyed by Your effulgence.

All need a base
but You stand baseless.

Your speed and acceleration
is essential in all worlds.

Taking all with You,
You guide us through the mental arena,
and lead us unto the formless arena.

You do not give in to difficulties
nor are You deferred by even totally unknown concepts. You are the aggregation of only love and bliss.

Making one forget all tortures,
in one fundamental ideation,
You shelter all.

O distant friend,
come close,
and in closeness,
love me.

With red feet
and a colourful sweet face,
softly smile.

This universe is but Your idol,
and to it,
I do not find any comparison.

I am unable to think
of any comparable example
since You are above it all.

As You have no bondage,
I am unable to bind You
by neither praise nor glorification.

Being all pervading,
You never come
within the bondage of places of pilgrimage.

and my mental peacock rushes forth and dances.

with which stick
did You kindle the lamp
that You today brought?

That lamp continues to glow
with innumerable flames.

It illuminates all the seven strata of the universe,
and eliminates the entire darkness.

It satisfies all living beings
and decorates tray after tray with colours.

At the end of prolonged penance,
that lamp glows unwinking.

At the end
You complete all Your work
by that light.

You came into my dark heart
and kindled light.

You made unbloomed buds bloom
and raised honey under the cover of petals.

Those helpless
and under the spell of a deep slumber,
by Your touch, obtained consciousness.

You provided heartfelt melodies
to the birds that were resting in their nest.

You decorated the dark earth with colours
and, in the game of colours,
You became absorbed.

You arose amidst awakened hearts.
You removed all fear
and filled everyone with hope.

The buds of flowers dropped down

Nights come,

Yet, their smiles do not come,
the way they came earlier.

Today, I listen to the tune of spring
and take it to be the outburst of my heart.

In the murmur sound of dry leaves,
I hear the sound of tender leaves.

piercing through the bosom of darkness,

You exist...

still survives in the mind.

all exist,
happily sleeping.

You understood my pain,

With both hands,
You wiped off my tears.
The moon was in the sky,
the honey was in the flower,

You came,
applied Your colour
and filled the earth

You loved us wholeheartedly.
You opened Your eyes and smiled.

Many days passed by in darkness.
You came because You understood our pain.
With both Your hands You wiped away

The moon remained in the sky,
the pollen stayed in the flower.
I was only feeling hopelessness.
You came and spread Your colours.
You filled the earth

on which unknown dawn,
did You kindle Your light?

This flame glows to this day,
bypassing the bondage of time and date.

From that light,
life emerged,
and the garden
became intoxicated with fragrance.

From that light,
the earth became decorated with colour and form,
attaining heavenly beauty.

From that light,
all received life,
and that light,
makes all great.

That light opened up vision

Light after light came about
colouring the sky and the air.

Keeping my eyes fixed on that light,
I express my salutation to You.

O Lord,
who is that,
singing on the boat of songs and forms?

From the world of form
the boat floats on towards formlessness.

It crosses and surpasses
numerous cities,
mountaintops,
planes,
depths,
and caves.
It moves on towards the unknown.

In a corner of Your boat,
in seclusion,
You provided a place for me.

Engrossing me in Your name,
You float me on.

O Lord,
by the series of Your name and beauty,
You filled the world.

O formless one,
of Your game of beauty,
I do not understand a thing.

Wherever I thought to be an end,
I find the picture of a new beginning beyond it.

A beginning comes after ends.
Its cycle goes up high,
kissing the sky.

When thinking of its best,
I lose myself.
I find innumerable excellent valuables,
constantly appearing thereafter.

You came,
removed all darkness,
kindled light
and pulled the distant ones close.

You destroyed the dirt,
You loved
and awakened hope
in desperate hearts.

The flowers did not bloom
due to fear of darkness.

The bees did not come,
feeling the absence of honey.
You bathed all in effulgence
and brought about beauty.

An era of light came after darkness,
heavenly effulgence spread all over.

What did You do
to rain a flow of nectar?

The birds returned to their family with chirping.
The golden paddy fields
sank into darkness.

Alas, still, You did not come.

You liberally bestowed on me,

You are present in both air and fire.
You are the very basis of life.
You are in intellect and in intuition.
You are the root of humanity.

The very small and the great...
none is lost,
for, all have a place at Your feet.

is now over,
and that after much time,
a new morning arrived.

The dawn,
in a new hue,
has enchanted me.

The all engulfing night,
that lasted for ages,
is gone.

The lighting,
that shook my heart,
has passed.

The noisy creatures of darkness
have moved away.

The venom spitting serpent
does no longer pollute the air
and their hoods kill no more.

In the radiant light of joy,
the cakor bird of my mind
remains fully satisfied.

Today,
on this golden and effulgent morning,
the birds sing with a sweet voice,
and ask about Your whereabouts.

The dark night of inertia disappeared.
The dark fog vanished.
The dark curtain was removed.

The kadamba pollen spreads out into the sky.
The frenzied peacock dances
to the rhythm of dambaru.
There is no trace of disappointment whatsoever left.

...............................................................

O, Lord! Where are You?
In this golden crimson dawn, where are You?
The birds are chirping,
the inertness of the night is gone.

The enveloping black fog has faded away.
Darkness has dispersed.
The pollen of kadamba flowers
is floating towards the blue sky.

In the rhythm of the dambaru drum,
the cheerful peacocks are dancing in ecstasy.
There is no place for despair in this beautiful morning. Where are You? O, where are You?

note:
Kadamba is the tree Krsna' used to climb to play
His flute. Dambaru is the small drum Shiva used to
play while dancing tandava. At each beat a new
universe is said to be made and destroyed.

I decorated my altar with flowers.

You make me move for my welfare only.
You never think of harming anyone.
Therefore, I have attuned my heart to Your rythm.

You gave me intellect, intuition
and discriminating capacity.
You raised my mind,
piercing through all the seven strata of existence.

It is Your uncomparable love
that has been kissing my cheeks life after life.
You relieve me from all fears and doubts.
And therefore, I move towards You, crushing all obstacles.

.................................................................

For You I have woven a ma'latii garland.
Only for You I rehearsed my songs.
Only for You I decorated myself with flowers,
I cry and cry to get You close to me.

Whatever I have attained, I attained by Your grace.
And what I did not attain,
was because You didn't want it for me.

You led me on for the sake of my own welfare.
You never thought of harming me.
My heart became attuned to Your rhythm.

You gave me conscience, intellect and intuition.
You elevated my mind above the seven worlds.

My matchless love for You will never end.
It will remain life after life,
and lead me unto welfare.

You are the assuager of all my fears and doubts.
Crushing all obstacles in my way, I shall reach You.

of those lost days of arrival in my heart.

I remain awakened
with ointment applied on my eyes,
ever waiting for Your arrival.

In the shivering cold of the northern wind,
in the intensely burning heat of summer,
that carries hot winds,
in all conditions,
You remain.

You are in my heart,
You are in all desires and attainments,
You are at all times.

In the awakening of the golden clouds
of autumn evenings,
in dew wet nights,
in the wind that carries coolness, in dreams,
I attain Your touch in waves of shiver.

The bee became inert.
Who is that rising in my mind,
colouring it with festivity,

Spring has come by giving a glimpse of warmth.
It sung a new melody, creating fresh vibrations in my blood.

The colour of spring is arising in my mind.
It became coloured with all the seven colours.

None remains

None remains
orphan and distressed any longer.

All attain His love equally.
In the shelter of humanity,
none has to lie under trees.

No more tolerating of pangs
of hunger and thirst,
no more of the distress call
of the exploited.

The darkness of avidya' is no more,
for, divinity has arisen
in the minds of human beings.

In the garden of my mind,
a thief came,
who is not getting caught.

He took away my entire honey,
without being bothered by obstructions whatsoever.

Day and night this thief is present,
hiding within the pollen of flowers.

While trying to hold that thief,
my mind gets engrossed in the great cosmos.

This thief knows how to love,
and destroys the darkness of my mind.

The sweet smile of that thief
radiates throughout the world.

O Lord,
You hide in my mind.
My mind is unable to locate You.

O object of my meditation,
You exist in all the minds of the world.

Places of pilgrimage are
unable to bind You.

The prayers and the elucidation of Your attributes
fail to attune themselves to Your melody.

O unperceivable Lord beyond the world,
You swing the illusory creation.

You are present in all living beings,
You exist in all thought processes.

You remain expressed equally
within the minutest
as well as within the great cosmos.

You are the evernew divinity
that spreads from a blade of grass
to the greatest of beings.

In Your mind,
the intellect of minds becomes lost.

O Lord,
I loved You.
Why,
I did not know then.

You remain intoxicated in innumerable colours
and with these,
You coloured my mind.

These colours,
I was unable to wipe out back then.

I cried in a dark house,
thinking I had no one of my own.

From the sky of effulgence
You announced aloud:
"I am here, so why fear?"

I forgot that You
do not entertain any suppression of feelings.

I got up during the daylight
and hid my face in the evening.

You held my face with both hands.
You lifted up
and told me:

"I am here,
look at me
and understand me".

But even then,
I failed to recognise You.

Charging the world with vitality,
and singing the melody of the new,
move ahead!

Move forward,
and merge into cosmic tranquility.

Accepting the reality of the world,
valuing the psychic needs,
keep watching
and understand the grace of the Great.

Rejecting the old and wornout superficial skin,
open both your eyes in new illumination,
accept the ever effulgent citishakti, consciousness.

With the help of illumination,
peep through the adjoining worlds,
and announce your call,
extending both your hands today,
to welcome all.

O Lord,
at the end of the ocean of knowing and unknowing,
I could attain You.

Breaking the bondage of beyond and within,
I could hold Your heart.

I did not know philosophy;
neither had I affection in my heart.

What is essence and what is superfluous;
I could understand only with Your grace.
That mercy of Yours, I have now attained.

Light came in the night,
destroying darkness to almost nil.

In that isolated and silent great night,
I kindled the lamp of memory.

O Lord,
between You and me,
please, do not keep any separating wall.
Let me come close to You.

I possess knowledge of neither duality nor nonduality. I know only that those two holy feet are there.

What do You with those,
who create separating walls?
Tell me why this should be tolerated.

As an atom of Yours,
I will love You only,
and will stay with You only,
with body and soul.

Accepting this simple truth,
ever shine in my heart.

O Lord,
I love the distant star,
as I am unable to find close.
I do not know why.

In my mind,
the hope to attain Your love was awake,
yet, nothing came.
Why?
I do not know.

I decorated my house
and created songs for You.
I threaded a garland with my mental flowers.

Probably You would come only
when forgetting Your path,
perhaps also, You would not forget.

Perhaps, there was some lapse
remaining on my part,
there might have been some ego in my love.

And yet, You did not bestow on me
even a wee bit of Your love,
to rectify that mistake of mine.

O Lord,
I have loved You since hundreds of ages,
with innumerable colours and forms,
and with innumerable impulses.

I continued expressing to You
innumerable events of mine
that had been kept suppressed in my heart.

The dialogue of colourful torches continued
with the attachment of hope for success.

I continued singing to You innumerable songs,
of tearful love,
of sweet memories,
of moonlit nights,
all in the tune of fragrance.

The game between
the moon and the clouds
in the distant sky
arouses in my dream.

Forgetting earthly illusions,
I keep watching.

The light spreading moonlight,
hand signals from a distance.
I am unable to stay home.

The ocean of effulgence dances with rhythm.
O unknown friend,
You continue pouring sweetness into my life,
You continue calling only me.

How can I possibly bear this separation?

O Lord,
my home became dark,
the Lord of effulgence did not come to this day.

The buds of my flower could not bloom,
their hearts were not filled with honey.

The carpet of grass in my floral garden
could not survive due to shortage of water.

Due to intense heat and strong hot winds,
rainfall could not take place.

I could not sing the melody that I had rehearsed,
and hence, I could not travel on a fixed path.

Nothing can happen without Your grace.

I could not understand
that His grace would not shower.

You removed all darkness.

Blooming flowers,
spreading joy
and fulfilling all desires
You came.

Living beings are awakened,
expecting Your arrival,
and looking at the path of Your arrival.

You came,
You felt the pain,
You spread love.

The stream that lost its current...
the song that was completed...
its wave,
its melody,
You brought with You.

Just as rain clouds in the sky

The mystic traveler came to my doorsteps
and sang the songs of affection for the devout.

The memory of the affection
that He left behind
is to be offered at His altar.

The remains of affection
that the mystic traveler left behind
became brighter due to His love
and the devout is sure
that his/her sa'dhana' to attain Parama Purus'a
will be successful.

O Lord,
repeatedly calling You,
my days have passed.

At the end of the day,
in the arena of sleep,
the sun has set.

The green grass has become black.
My ignorant mind has understood that.
The tired birds have returned home.

The light of joy has hidden itself.
I know that at the end of the night,
the light of the rising sun appears.

Yet, how would the night ever agree
to me entertaining
the hope of attaining that light?

O Lord,
You came during a storm,
and brought tranquility to me.

You removed the voilent storm
and bestowed the beauty of blue clear sky.

On the dust filled path,
You placed a green carpet of grass.
And on the pebble ladden path,
You created a floral garden.

You came,
You smiled
and softened butterlike my heart
that was as hard as stone.

All the hills and pits
You transformed into flowers of shiris'.
Onto the world of rough sand,
You poured affection.

A flock of birds started chirping this morning,
on the bank of the pond,
in the waveful water,
that is filled with the sweetness
of forestial fragrance.

With overwhelming sweetness,
decorating and beautifying all,
the earth dances on like a nymph,
she dances on fearlessly in the forest.

The green shrubs of nature,
the enchanted bunches of creepers,
sing in unison,
sing in one single ideation.

in the open sky,
I shall speak out to You,
the feelings residing within my heart.

I shall speak out without hesitation,
O stealer of mind
and lamp of my love!

I now understand to whom belongs,
the sweetness that I find in flowers.

The beauty that shines in lotus flowers
is nothing but the reflection of Your own form.

The sweet tinkling sound of viin'as,
is a gift of love by You.
All auspicious and pious experiences
remain ever absorbed in Your sweetness.

For You, nothing like far and near exists,
all are Your equal and own.

You ever continue sending out Your sweet call

Day and night,
You are awake,
ever remaining close to head,
O omniscient one.

I beg for Your grace,
and I know,
that I shall surely attain Your mercy.

Small and big are all Your own.
Some are new, some are old.

Taking touch of all hearts,
You scatter about heavenly colours.

Your heart is full of affection.
It is pure and pious,

Filling the world with tunes,

You picked up flowers,

and yet, He still did not come.

On lips coloured red with ta'mbul,
(betel leaves) why does your voice faint?

Tonight, under the impulse of what disheartment,
why have you not dressed up in your evening dress?

You have so long been looking at the sky
that the garland on your chignon became loosened.

With each rhythm of specific mandaka'nta' beats,
you do not entertain enthusiasm,
you did not blow your evening conch.

O Lord,
Krs'n'a,
Muma'ri,
to this forgotten land of Vraja,
come again!

Today, the Yamuna' river
does not flow a reverse flow.
A sweet flute is not being there played any longer.

Below the kadamba tree,
the children of Vraja today do not play with You.

Due to fear that their butter might be stolen,
the milkmaids no longer cover their pots.

And yet, even today,
in their hearts,
they firmly know
that You belong to them only.

On the banks of the Yamuna' river,
in the markets of beauty,
within the arbour of tama'l trees,
on the path of Gokul,
the milkmaids have kept their face covered
to think about You only.

The aspirations of the milkmaids
for Your return and love,
occurred in mind.

Carrying the flow of water in hands,
scattering about the nectar of heart,
with rhythms attuned to the arbour of tama'l
they dance on, this morning.

You brought about
the colour festival of Vrindavana,
scattering Yourself
into the minds of this world.

The agonies and inner feelings of the milkmaids,
came into mind in a new way.

The river Yamuna' is flowing a reverse flow
and is becoming restless with outburst.

The peacock with golden hair went away.
No one knows where.

They all spread love in abundance,
in arbours
and in each corner of mind.

You gave much inspiration to the land of Vraja.

Belonging to Vraja,
the trees, creepers,

dance overjoyed in Your ideation.

even today,
full of love,
take Your name

By losing Ka'nu of Vraja,

When listening to His enchanting flute,
the dust of Vraja starts smiling,
and the water of the Yamuna river

start dancing with quiver.

At the time of churning curd,
the milkmaids bow their heads with love.
They think of the moment
when they would see their Gopal
with overjoyed minds.

into the smilingly resonating earth.

The water in the river overflows
to attain You.

With Your song,
it rushes on towards the ocean
ideating on You only.

The birds have attuned themselves to Your melody.
Your song resonates in both isolation and uproar.

And the peacock also does not remain alone;
it dances with joy, absorbed in You.

Due to the fragrance of pollen of the pa'rija't flower, the honeybee has become intoxicated with mental honey. It goes on humming,
listening to the rain of Your mercy.

O Lord,
the shade of trees fades
and the illusion of mirages appears,
yet, I still love You.

In the sweet and enchanting bondage of our hearts
the distinction between trees and sand ceases to exist.
There is only one sky,
only one sun
and only one moon,
only one bugle,
and only one trumpet.

With the festive one,
my mind rushes forward,
with the rhythm of dance,
through gaps of pains and pleasures.

In the cold wind of winter,
the swans arrive from the northern sky.

In the touch of ice and in the golden sun,
I listen to my distant friend,
calling me with a prolonged sound.

It dances on in the blue sky,

my mind is ever alert with consciousness.

O Lord,
into the depth of my mind,
with silent steps,
and in multiple colours,
You arrived.

With pink feet,
beautifully decorated eyes
and an enchanting face,
You smiled.

I had no one close to me
to call my own,
all remained busy with their own occupations.

You came and sat close,
You spoke to me with a sweet tongue.

Whatever lights in the world
may become extinguished,
and even should the stream of love and affection
become dried up,

"I shall always be there. Do not fear,
do not hesitate or become confused."

Speaking thus,
You removed all the burden of my pain.

O my dearest,
You are the touch of life
and the joy of songs.

While I was under the influence of drowsiness,
O incomparable one,
You silently came
and sang Your song.

There is no end to sweetness,
and hence,
I neither find an end to songs.

Filling my heart with the tune of dance
You resonate nectar like.

You are the touch of warmth during winter
and touch of moist coolness during summer.

O difficult one,
on the distressed ones,
You poured life,
playing on the sonorous strings of Your viin'a.

O Lord,
I lost myself to You,
even carrying a high ego.

This ego of mine made me blind
and shut all my windows.

I thought of my own affairs only,
I remained misguided in darkness.

No light,
no wind...
in a small house,
one is unable to see oneself in the darkness.

Under that environment,
I was alone,
undergoing my self created pain.

You remained awake,
day and night,
for the sake of my welfare,
like a polar light.

O Lord,
those who forget You,
become lost in darkness.

On the coastline of rivers,
they wish to attain permanency.

Coming and going,
this play goes on,
from beginningless to endless time.

Those under Your firm shelter attain fearlessness,
all others have but to float on.

O dearest one,
whatever I may consider mine,
becomes lost in voidness,
mirage like,
as all comes and goes for moments only,
in the realm of Your imagination.

In the end, Your grace came about.
You came and filled my heart
with the bliss of attainment.

You know.

I silently look for You in wonder.
Only You know the glory of Your divine game.
You ever flood my mind and heart.

shining as the bright effulgence of love,
You remain enthroned in my heart.

Your holy, reddish and beautiful feet
are worshipped with joy by millions of suns.

I admit that You are beyond perception and mind;
I also know that You are beyond logic and reasoning.

By Your mercy, what would be impossible?
Therefore, remain with me in all my actions.

As incomparable sweetness,
and like a bud of campa' (magnolia) flowers,
You exist in the deepest recesses.

I pray at Your feet.
Please bestow at least so much mercy
that my mind
may ever dance to Your ideation.

The chariot of effulgence moves on.

Touching many a heart and heaven,
carrying many a shade of affection,
snatching away much love,
it moves on, on its eternal way.

This cart never heeds to any forbidding,
it never pauses nor stops,
it never retreats back in fear,
it moves on always.

Bathing all in the effulgence of love,
spreading out both hands
to welcome all
unto the path of righteousness,
attuning all
to the rhythm, melody and tune of songs,
it ever pours out an ocean of nectar.

remain ever submerged in my eyes!

fill my innermost recess.

I have loved You since ages unknown,
offering to You my entire existence.
You reside in my mind,
as does fragrance in the sandal breeze.

You are the pole star of my life,
I cannot live for even a moment without You.

Like the deer attracting
and illusive mirage of divinity (ma'ya'),
in my spring season,
O Lord,
You remain ever mingled in my eyes.

Tell me where my Krs'n'a is!

In the bushes of ma'dhavii flowers,
in the grove of niipa trees,
I searched for Him everywhere.

Destituted of roaming,
I continue searching and crying.
Due to intense love,
tears flow from my eyes.
And still, He is not to be attained.

I searched for Him on the banks of the river yamuna',
in the smiling blue waters.
Full of impulse,
I searched for a glimpse of His.

My days pass by
along the drowsy melody
of a swan's wings.

…………………………………………………………

Tell me, where is my Krs'n'a?
Tell me, I beg of You, tell me.

I did not see Him anywhere,
not in the madhavi arbour nor in the kadamba grove.

Wandering with tears and an afflicted heart,
I have searched for Him,
In exuberant joy I break into uncontrollable tears,
Yet He does not come within my reach.

Seeing His shadow
on the shimmering blue waters of the Yamuna river,
I searched for Him along the riverbanks with all my heart. My days drift away on a drowsy melody of a swan's wings.

With a mind fully absorbed in You,
I contemplate You day and night,
in all my actions.

Whatever sound I may hear,
I take it as Your footstep.
Whatever image appears before my eyes,
I take it as Yours.

In Your divine game,
whatever little I understand,
is that You reside deep within my mind.

Even should You not come close,
no harm,
I find bliss thinking of You.

Sitting in meditation posture,
I long to enjoy this bliss forever.

O Lord,
I love You
and I remain engrossed in Your ideation
day and night.

My survival is smeared
with Your golden effulgence.

In pain and in pleasure,
With unblinking eyes,
I look unto You.

With Your strength,
I push the wheels of Your cart.

You lie covered with both softness and hardness.
With the ego of action
You drew a curved line into my mind.

Within Your existence
I remain supported,
even should I be far and alone.

Is this a burnt sam'ska'ra
or is this my destiny (writing on the forhead)?

O kind Lord,
what sort of game
do You keep playing with me?

You gave me
shelter, food and much more
that I cannot recall.

You provided mother's love and affection to me,
You gave me protection at a father’s chest,
You brought to me helping brothers and companions,
and gave me life long knowledge.

You gave me the touch of love,
the pleasure of moonlit nights,
the delight of spring,
and rhythmic melodies.

You showed me the ultimate destination
and brought about absolute attainment.
You removed bondages and doubts
and made me fearless.
O divine placer!

O Lord,
You came in the illusion of melody,
singing Your songs on the path.

There was none to welcome You,
all were in deep sleep,
even in the morning time.

You did not want any welcome or any garland,
there were no devotees to surround You.
There was a smile on Your face,
a melody and a flute.

You came with rhythm in a beautiful form.
With the tinkling sound of anklebells,
that emanated from Your sweet feet,
You took Your place in the depth of my mind.

You came in surprise
into my mental Vrida'vana,
and secretly applied opening ointment onto my eyes,
to fulfil the heart of an affectionate one.

What have you lost?
What for do you cry day and night?
Who has taken away your necklace?
With tearful eyes,
whose garland do you thread?

Your throat seems suffocated;
your voice does not articulate itself properly either.
And yet, suppressing your emotions with both your hands, whose melody do you practice with all your heart?

Who is that enchanter whose sweet flute
snatched away the smile from your lips?

Sitting on the balcony,
with which thread of love
and with what form and colour
do you arrange your tresses?

O Lord,
if You did not love me nor smiled softly,
then, to attain You,
I would not have frenzied.

Why did You love me
and why did You smile,
to bind me to Your fold in delusion?
Why did You play Your divine game with me?

How much divine game do You know?
How many sports with colours and forms
flow in Your stream?

You come close in divine delusion,
and on coming,
You sit in my mind.
Then, You go far away
and that is why
You do not understand my pain.

O Lord,
Some people merge themselves in light
while others lose themselves in darkness.
Some people long to attain You
while others desire Your presentations.

Some people rush unto accumulated effulgence
in scattered illumination.

Some keep crying,
in ruined bamboo groves,
carrying the skeletons of the past.

Some people announce You as essence,
and in their heart, love only You.

And some,
from within the effulgent fountain of Your grace,
light candles of logic and reasoning.

Some people,
under the spell of divine ecstasy,
ever dance on,
because they do not find satisfaction in anything else.

O Lord,
by constantly pleasing You,
I move forward on Your path.

Other than Your ideation and awareness,
no other way exists for me to take.

I remain intoxicated in the song of Your name
and attain a wee bit of Your grace by meditating on You.
In listening, contemplating and concentrating on You,
I understand that there exists nothing else but You.

In songs, dances and sighs of joy,
in pain, injury, worry and happiness,
in the heat of the desert
and in the coldness of mountains,
in everything,
I find You.

You are the
nondiminishing, nondecaying, and unfathomable
radiating light.
O luminous one!

In the pollen of flowers,
in the radiance of the kinshuka flowers,
You remain glorified.
O merciful one!

You resonate in the rumbling of clouds,
and with rhythm and song,
You remain spread out
over the mental world.

In the rhythm of high tides,
and on the bottom of the ocean,
You resonate,
O one full of waves!

You consider neither beginning nor end,
You are the long and eternal intuitional effort (sa'dhana').
O effulgent one,
Your seat lies above praise and rebuke!

in the rays of the moon,

You reside in mental sweetness,
You remain hidden within intuitive knowledge,
unknown to me,
in isolated silence,
in the depth of my heart,
You have taken Your seat.

O Lord,
You came in springtime
colouring my mind with sweetness.

That colour can never be wiped off,
not even on a painful summer's night.

That colour remains in sky and air,
in greenish beauty
and in crimson light.

That colour remains in the fragrance of spring,
in the tender heaven of my heart.

That colour can never be lost
to cruel and merciless hot winds.

That colour will ever stay with me,
as polestar of my eyes.

Wiping away the darkness of fog,
removing even traces of disappointment,
carrying the lamp of hope in hand,
He came at night.

His eyes were filled with love,
His face was illuminated with effulgence.

Silently, leaving His cyclic moving on the path,
He stopped at my door.
The sky was smeared with clouds,
the firmament of my mind was filled with ideation.

Thinking of Him,
tears accumulated in my eyes.
On that evening of the rainy season,
the magnolia flowers
poured out fragrance into the air.

Looking at the moon that hid behind the clouds,
the peacock started dancing.

On the dust of His feet,
mercy prevailed,
in my mind,
delusion aroused.

Into this delusion,
by the touch of that dust,
vibrations sprang forth.

I accept and adore You
from the core of my heart.

From dawn to dusk,
the sun continuously draws Your sketch.
Even though You are beyond words
and beyond the mind,
I recognise You by my actions.

You are entirely free
from melodies, rhythms and tunes.
You are formless,
detached and beyond thought.

But an unknown attraction
and the thread of love,
bind You to me.

but I did not love You.

You removed my darkness
but I didn’t want to move towards effulgence.

Into the fragrance of flowers,
into the expression of life’s vitality,
You poured vibrations,
like an intoxicating spring.

You coloured me with hue
and poured beauty onto me,
but I didn’t want to take this beauty.

You told me not to fear
as You possessed Vara'bhaya
and hence, I could attain fearlessness under Your shelter.
You furthermore told me to open my eyes
and see and learn in a new way.
And yet, I still did not open my eyes to see.

Why is light scattered all over your cheeks?
By whose love does it brighten?

Carrying a load of fragrant nectar in your throat
and the weight of a devotee’s love (gopika's),
You move on far.

Who is it that keeps calling you pauselessly?
There is no end to the path that leads unto Him.

why do you put on the garb of a renunciate?

You ever remain as the constant ideation of all.

Yet this earth, though small, is not meagre.

In an ocean,
innumerable water drops lie.
Taking together all,
only the ocean is recognised.

The bud of flower,
the particle of sand,
remain on the side of the path,
no one ever thinking of them.

The fragrance that fills this dreamy earth
is made from them.
Their role is nondiminishing.

in the history of the new,
I shall create an environment of affection.

The sweet story of the minds
of those who have done
and of those who now continue to do,
remains in dumb mouths.

O Lord,
I love You,
more than I love myself.

O my eternal companion of dark nights,
O my sweet smile of difficult days,
O consolation of the ocean of my grief,
O floral garland of love, drenched with my tears,
You kept me absorbed in You from time immemorial,
You kept me blended with the rhythm of life.

In illuminated full moon nights,
You remain dissolved in gentle purity.
Your grace ever pervades
each atom of my sentiments.

(in some DMC Baba personally explained the meaning in Hindi)

Coming into my floral garden,
who was seen?

Who is that loving entity,
that provides satisfaction,
and is recognised by the heaven of Your heart?

A single moon in the blue sky,
remains awakened, watching You.

The tree, full of incomparable nectar like flowers,
displays scenes of beauty.

With what expectation did You come
into this environment,
with eyes marked with love?

History says,
the divine game between the living beings and the Lord, thus takes place.

O Lord,
bringing about a touch of spring,
in what a form did You come?

With the charm of spring,
You crushed my total inertia.

Today, the earth became rhythmic and fragrant.
The universal mind became selfchoosing.

With what vibration did You swung all?
With melody and song my mind lost itself.
Within a moment,
my eyelids turned joyous.

Breaking the bondage of stone prisons,
I walk with rhythm to meet You.

Crushing the stones on the path with both my feet,

Crossing walls of obstruction,

Raising high my victory banner,
I move in a straight way, without curvature.

I move ahead with head held high,
the wheels of my cart move ahead without hesitation.

I am the traveler of the new age,
keeping the world of my dreams in front of me,
breaking and crushing the stone prison,
I keep singing the song of Infinite.

O Lord,
I have forgotten
since when
I have been loving You.

Merging my colour into Yours,
I create a new world.

It is due to Your colour
that the rising sun in the eastern sky becomes coloured. And coloured in Your hue,
at dusk,
it goes down into an unknown territory.

Coming and going,
desire and achievement,
all are due to You only.
This is what I have come to understand.

You exist,
I too exist,
but whereas You will continue to exist,
I won't.

This little "I" of mine will remain within You
for infinite time.

This eternal truth and absolute reality,
I have now come to understand deep within my heart.

You are in rhythm,
You are in resonance,
You are in dance
and You are in song.

You are in disappointment and in despondence.
You are also in the wounded feelings of the heart.

You are in the arid desert,
in drying rivers,
and in green trees.

You are in vibrant colours,
in affectionate language,
and in the call of the early dawn.
There is no place where You do not exist.

Whatever I attain is all due to Your grace.
In every breath and contemplation,
I realise Your grace.

O Lord,
my days pass by, drifting away on a swan's flight,
and yet, You do not come to my home, alas.

Innumerable coloured dreams of the new awakened in me. Many a tear floated my heart.
Yet, Your footsteps were not to be heard.

My mental bee speaks out buzzingly:
"the one who You want,
is coming for You."

In order to see Him,
the pala'sh tree has intoxicated itself to the fullest with red flowers this spring.

Playing the flute in a sweetness absorbed tune,
You came with each rhythm.

With each melody,
into the canopy of my mind,
in Your illusive game,
You flowed nectar.

With shining ankle bells,
and the enthusiasm of smiles,
You came into the temple of my mind,
with sweet colour.

With new,
previously unenjoyed,
charming postures,
You provided vibration
to the eternal tempo.

With unobstructed and grand effulgence,
the peacock of my mind rushes on dancingly.

All thoughts and ideations,
all language and expressions
become lost in the infinite,
never seeming to reach the end of beauty.

The great sky longs to touch the mud of the earth
and the earth's mud longs to attain the blue sky.

Parama Purus'a loves the microcosm
and the microcosm loves that Parama Purus'a.

The love between the microcosm and the Great
has lingered on era after era.
It remains alive every second and moment,
in form, taste and colour.
It was, it is and it will forever remain.

In history, within the core of hearts,
it displays itself as beauty.
The bondage of love remains,
while distances break down.

O Lord,
come closer and still closer,
I long to see You each and every moment.

O Lord,
from the arena of effulgence,
come down to the ground!
Merely staying in the arena of effulgence will not do.
This earth carries love for You in its heart.
Indeed, it does not know anything other than You.
Lakes, rivers,
mountains, forests and gardens,
all constantly remember You.

In You, day and night,
lies their lifelong ideation.
Millions of human beings,
of animals and birds,
mentally and from the depth of their heart,
consider You their own.

In all this, Your real worship displays itself.

O Lord,
most beautiful one to my eyes,
when shall You reach me?

Although You can come into my fold,
You make me weep. Why?

There is nothing wasteful on this earth.
All speaks of Your divine game.
With tearful eyes,
will my calling You go in vain?

Now open Your eyes and smile softly.
Much divine game has been performed.
Why push me into the delusive ocean of time?

O Lord,
come into my meditation
and in the call of Your name.
Come onto the seat of my heart.

Era after era,
knowingly and unknowingly,
my love has been calling You.

Lifetime after lifetime has passed by.
Death after death has taken place.
My love never diminishes.
It is eternal in contemplation.

The thread of love
with which You tied me,
never breaks by any strength.

Small and big,
meager and great,
all are bound within limits
by that thread's bondage.

O Lord,
You reside within my eyes,
that is why
You are not to be seen externally.
You keep Yourself hidden.

You are extremely great.
All others are but mere atoms.
Under Your shelter,
everything is attained.

It is due to Your grace and inspiration only
that one is able to move along Your path.

O Divinity,
from time immemorial,
You remain with immeasurable force,
in the seven strata of existence.

O most beloved and closest one,
stay inside as well as outside me,
stay in both pain and pleasure.

.............................................................

You are in the midst of my eyes.
That is why my eyes cannot see You.
You lie hidden in Your own form.

You are the great consciousness in every atom.
You are everyone's shelter.
By Your Grace, by Your inspiration,
I proceed forward towards You.

You are ever present, O Lord.
You are the master of the seven realms.
O, nearest and dearest one,
remain with me always.
Stay with me in pain and in pleasure,
in the inner and in the external worlds.

What for continue crying?
Who do you think of day and night?

Which stealer of hearts snatched away
the wide smile from your face?

The garland of ma'lati flowers lies by the side.
You could not decorate your chignon with it.

The nectar of satisfaction
that once filled your eyes, has vanished.

Tell about Him,
His qualities,
that history be known.

Your life has become enriched
with leaves, fruits and flowers,
and yet, why do keep floating about bereft of bank?

Is it that,
in your mental garden,
Krs'n'a plays His flute
even to this day?

O Lord,
what a heavenly melody did You play,
on this golden morning,
amidst bright sunrays?

From beyond the eastern sky,
with a redish glow,
You provided peace to restless hearts.

Whatever obstructions existed between You and me,
were removed with one smile.
You are extremely great
and I extremely small.
Between us two, You brought about closeness.

No opportunity arises
for sitting down to cry
nor halting to rest,
for, neither is right.

With each rhythm of Yours,
with the impulse of an entity beyond thought,
You took me along on Your path.

O Lord,
come secretly into the depth of my mind.
I am but a soft bud of flower
that has kept its honey carefully preserved.

Many a storm and typhoon have passed over me.
And still, I did not let it whither
but secretly held it up for You within my heart.

Come in dance and song,
come in incense and lamps,
and in the shade of the rainketaki flower.

Come like butter in the niipa.
Come and fill my life with a charming dream.
Come in sweetness filled resonance.

O Lord,
I had been wandering about,
forgetting the path,
when You anew showed me the way.

I wanted momentary happiness,
and You provided to me eternal bliss.
Sitting in my floral garden,
I used to wastefully pick thorns.

Removing the external petals of my flower,
You poured honey into my mouth.
Bathing me in fragrance,
You threaded a floral garland.

Sitting amidst burning charcoal,
I used to lay covered in blackness.
Changing my outlook,
You illuminated me with diamond type radiation.
And, removing all my imperfections and shortcomings,
You made me Your own.

My life is not a free flow.
I am a rose flower,
covering my face in shyness.
I think of You,
of Your attributes,
and eagerly look upwards.

Holding the earth with rhythm and song,
I lose myself.

Within me, sweetness prevails,
in my sky, the moon is present.
With both sweetness and my moon,
I keep pouring forth a flow of nectar,
silently with love,
into earth's life.

Ever awakened,

Why did You forget me?

Showing me the full moon only momentarily,
You covered it behind the clouds.

On blooming flower petals in spring,
why did You cast an intense sun,
letting them whither away?

After bestowing a touch of sweet sandal breeze,
You heated up an extreme summer.

On the clear and blue winter sky,
wherefrom did the storm come about?

Over the soft and cool fragrance of the shefa'li flower, You poured burning lightning
and went away.

You came after long waiting,
and removed all my dirt.

You wiped out my entire darkness

vanished by Your touch
within the fraction of a moment.

and went away without informing me.

I used to lie in the dust of the path,
when You pulled me unto You and uplifted me.

My home lay torn and worn out.
I had nothing to eat,
neither did I have intellect nor discriminating capacity. You gave and taught me everything.

I did not understand
the capability and right of human beings.
I never performed
spiritual practice to attain You.

You taught me intuitional practice
and gave me attainment.
I did not have the dignity of a human being;
My ground was bitter and wet.
You poured nectar on me,
and made me speak,
You lifted me onto Your lap.

I came down, losing my path.
I did not want to come to this place,
rather, I wanted to go towards the path of light.

I wanted to go to where no one dies due to lack of food, and suffocates due to lack of service from others.

I wanted to go to where everyone gets entry
to the kingdom of real spiritual knowledge.
I used to dream of such a place.

I wanted to go where all thoughts remain full of love
and internal affection abounds.

I wanted to go to where all receive shelter to protect their heads, to where water satisfies the heart with comfort.
I used to sketch such a place with colour.

O Lord,
sheltering the Hima'laya mountain,
You are the essence of all Deities.
You remain established in attributes.

You are eternal tranquility,
a palace of glory.
You are snowpeaked,
selfeffulgent,
carrying long matted haired.
You are the residence of the Greatest Preceptor.

At Your feet,
by Your instruction,
millions of glaciers flow into the world.

From era to era,
with head held high,
You remain as everalert watchman.

By Your mercy,
the sea clouds bring rain,
when encountering the sun's impulse.

The play near the forest
between the clouds and the mountains continues.
The blue and green boat floats in time.

You are the great mountain.
You are the high plane amidst arrays.

The clouds come down,
carrying flowing particles of love.
The snows peep over mountain peaks.

The blue, green, black and white colours surround each other. Who are they in love with?

The fountain rumblingly dances on,
and, drawing a silver line,
it flows through the mountains into the forest.

It does not heed to whatsoever obstruction.
It does not become bound by whatsoever bondage.

It rushes up and down with pleasing imagination.
It rushes through the trees.

Carrying the impulse of the open and matted hair
of Dhu'rjat'i (Lord Shiva) 's head,
it flows on.

All along each path,
saturated with tears of love,
it seeks liberation.

You are the top most vegetation.
Leaving aside and ignoring all,
Whose grace do You seek?

Below Your feet,
You left a hard and strong land.
You went up high,
as if kissing the blue sky.

Looking upwards,
singing the song of the infinite,
You attained acceleration in movement deprived life.

You do not expect from anyone.
You display no ego when providing shelter to birds.
As symbol of this earth,
You never suppress.
With head held high, I ever salute You.

You are a swan of a far away land,
that came to this country.

Wearing a golden cap on Your head
and spreading wide both Your wings,
You came to this land.

Amidst the lake's waters,
the shade of the tree
and the gentle, sweet and cool breeze,
which country's colourful dream,
did You draw in Your mind?

As the broad daylight falls on mountains,
so does the effulgence of love linger on Your face.
Near it, You made Yourself a home.

O sky licking Himalaya mountains,
who do you call icecrowned?

Which stealer of mind
engrossed your curlyhaired head?

In sunrays,
ice melts
and water of love flows.

Sitting isolated in meditative posture,
in evertranquil silence,
on whom do you meditate?

In the subtle and graceful forestral beauty,
in the fragrantly decorated stretch of longitude,
by whose introduction does your heart fall prey
to a singular and divine world?

Having come to the heavenly world,
I could know the mind.

Loving the crimson light,
I could recognise the day.

Amidst green leaves,
colourful flowers,
at the root of the blue sky's altar,
human beings,
mountains, forests
were all auctioned at the same rate.

The subtle presence of colour appeared in my eyes
and a sweet touch arose in my heart.
An inner love and a charming song,
I sketched in my mind.

Today, on this morning
during a time of loneliness,
it occurred to my mind.

On this light radiating morning,
we saw each other, on the mountain peak.

In that isolated arbour of niipa shrubs,
sweetness prevailed in flowers and minds.

In that sweet garden of my mind,
with the resonance of attainment,
I tied myself with the knot of love.

Today, my flower is left stamped and crushed,
it lies burried under a heap of snow.
My sweet garden has lost its colour and beauty.

And yet, in the mental arbour of my garden,
even today, secretly,
Your love lingers on, full to the brim.

O Lord,
I could not find the destination of Your path,
and hence, I could not move unto You.

The introduction between You and me
was left covered in darkness,
and hence, I could not locate my ultimate aim.

I thought about why I could not understand,
that perhaps I did not have love nor affection in my fate.
Full of neglect and overlook,
I did not give due value to life.

Many a spring came into life.
Many a winter evening poured its colour on me,
yet, I kept myself aloof
and could not drench myself in colour.

The light is Yours and mine
and it is for everyone.

The whole world
is full of darkness removing light.

Light is present in the world of knowledge,
and borders both ignorance and avidya'.

In human minds,
devilishness perishes
by the touch of light.

Providing beacon light in darkness,
directions become visible.

The wick flame ever burns in the lap of lamps,
colouring and illuminating the world.

Amidst piles of bricks and stones,
my mind sinks down into an intensly dark well.

I can see neither green grass
nor the form of a leaf.

All alone amidst a crowd of matter,
how do I find relief?

Human beings move but like machines,
with "earning money"
as a seemingly greatest principle.

It is very difficult to surmount
the opposition of artificiality
that plays in obscure and diverse ways.

I want more free air,
a star studded blue sky

that will remove all complications.

I want to keep the Supreme Entity in my mind always,
and by His nectar absorbed blessing,
I shall continue to apply the whiteness of sandal on all dirt.

O Lord,
today the light of the new has arrived.

By Your descend,
my life is filled with warmth.

All reactive momenta of dogma vanished.
The created accumulation
of knowledge, place, time and person floated away.

Within moments,
my entire burden disappeared
and my heart became fulfilled.

With You I was introduced in a new way.
My perception of all entities
displays spiritual divinity.

Now, only surrender at Your holy feet remains,
that overflows with the current of devotion.

.........................................................................

A new light has dawned today with Your arrival.
My life became filled with Your warm touch.
The sam'skara (reactive momenta) of dawn
was completely shattered.

The dogmatic feeling of name and fame
has been fully banished.
All my load and burden has been removed
and my heart is blissful today.

I have been introduced to You in a very new style.
My entire entity has become completely merged with You (Harimaya), and my only request at Your feet is
that the flow of devotion should overflow in me.

O Lord,
I did not do anything for You,
and yet, You lifted me up
from the dust of my path.

I never heeded to listen to praises of Your glory,
yet, You bestowed on me Your causeless grace.

You gifted me overwhelmingly filling both my hands.
You provided a place for me in the womb of a mother.
You filled me with love and an overflowing heart.
You poured honey onto me in exuberance.

Whatever shelter, food and clothing I received
during times of distress,
whatever merciful wealth of sweetness
during the desert heat,
I kept it all threaded in my mind.

I cannot even estimate
what You did not do for me.

O Lord,
on that dark day with softly wet clouds,
I saw You on the magnolia (juhi) flower lane.

At Your feet,
ankle bells were sounding.

In my hand,
the small flame of a lamp was burning.

In Your eyes,
a sweetly flowered plant lay reflected.

And from my eyes,
a fountain of tears emerged.

There was no one between You and me.
This was a meeting between the small and the great.

You came with a smiling rhythm
and the fragrance of pollen.

I moved with a throbbing heart
and unknown feelings.
I forgot, afterwards,
by drifting into intuitive knowledge,
what I was and where I was.

O Lord,
why did You come today into my mind
when all my flowers have withered away
and in my mental garden only thorns remain?

Once upon a day, the beauty of flowers prevailed;
as did sweetness and charming and delicate subtlety.

My sweetness was overflowing,
yet, on that day You did not come
even after hearing my invocation.

My altar was fragrant and decorated,
for You to bestow Your grace that day.

This event, I continuously think of, even to this day. I kept my agony suppressed in the depth of my mind.

What for do you pour out morning light,
who is He who has forgotten you from His mind?

During sleep, while awake,
with whose love,
do you colour your life with a smiling face?

In the heavenly garden,
is the charming pa'rija'ta flower not there
to win your mind with its beauty?

With everything available to you,
why do you turn restless,
wanting to select resonances?

You have no choice;
the whole universe (both the living and the nonliving) is full of personal and collective contact (otah + protah).
O Lord,
You are adored and worshiped (externally)
and yet, You exist in the depth of the microcosmic mind.

O Lord,
in this world,
I want You in evernew meetings of love.

In the floral garden,
with a sweet song,
love scatters by the honeybee.

I do not want fame,
garlands of flowers,
worship
nor intoxication of respect.

I just want a heart full of love.
I do not want anything.
You know my requirement.

You are in the deepest world
of action and duty.
You are the vitality of life,
the essence of all nectar.

O Lord,
with crimson colour and new love,
what a sweetness have You poured on me?

You lifted up
the freshly bathed morning dewdrops.

In the sketch of green leaves,
in the charming eyes of the deer,
You smeared in diverse styles,
a magic spell,
an incomparable example.

In the blue sky,
in the clear voice,
in the murmur of the forest,
You made sounds resonate.

You taught songs to the melody
that flows in the silvery fountain.

You taught songs and melodies
to the flow of silvery fountains.

O my sympathizer,
how far do You go?

Smiling sweetly with love,
You seem unknown.

A threaded garland of songs,
and the bouquet of love remain.

You stamp with Your feet
the sketch of memory
that lies in sweet moonlight
and then, You rush off.

The dream that remains coloured
with the hue of a colourful peacock's tail,
carries the empty and cyclic bear's dance.

In green grass,
in the pollen of flowers,
in the longhorn
that goes northeast,
You sing.

O Lord beyond form,
turn into form
and come into the fold of my heart.

O gem,
provider of everything,
point of my ideation,
You radiate the effulgence of love,
like a shining and luminous gem.

From era to era,
living beings have been searching You,
and find You within themselves
in hundreds and hundreds of forms.

In life and death,
whatever is attained
and whatever is not,
is all located within You
as intuitional reality.

I have forgotten how to love.
I sing Your song with all my heart.

Only this much do I know,
that I am Yours only
and that You are mine,
like the nectar and its moon.

O Lord,
You love me.

You do not see nor consider
deserving qualifications,
You look upon all with Your causeless mercy.

The moon pours its light on all heads,
irrespective of good or bad.
The camphor makes all waters fragrant.
The sandal touches even hard insects,
even those who do not look its side.

I assumed no one loves me.
I came crying
and will go painfully.
For me only pain is destined on the earth.
Today, I understood I am not helpless.

O Lord,
I just wanted a weebit of Your grace,
but You poured on me a flow of mercy.

I just wanted a drop of happiness
in my ocean of sorrows,
but You brought about a river of joy.

Within the great time factor,
innumerable beings come and go,
who stays to look at them?

In the ocean of microcosms,
You pervade both
the great and the meager.
You are with all.

O Parama Purus'a,
ocean of love,
You removed the darkness of dirt.
By the touch of Your vivacity,
You glorified the earth with a flow of nectar.

O Lord,
I loved You,
so why did You forget me?

Knowingly, I wanted pain;
You made me forget both sorrow and joy.

I was floating on the deep ocean;
You remained seated on a golden mountain.
I was overflooded with disappointment and disgrace;
You remained in the auspicious sunrays,
ignoring me.

For how many eras
our love has existed,
is not known to the history of whatsoever poets.

You are great and I am small,
that is why You neglected me.

How could I not be Yours
or You not be mine?

From time immemorial,
a smiling sweetness,
is vibrant even today in almighty fashion.

I floated the boat of songs
over the waves of the ocean of melody.

I would move over the swing of rhythm and meters,
into the colour of Your love.

I would find the memory of joy,
and float my entire ego into the stream of sweetness.

Whatever was accumulated by me,
has all been emptied.

In a moonlit night and a bright morning,
I float myself unto the infinite.

There is no vaning nor vaxing in this moon.

I understood Your glory
in the in the intense sun of noon.

I observed Your sweetness

and in the intoxicating song of birds.

for Your soft touch,
my eyes flow on,
day and night.

Swarms of bees
buzz into the arbour of my mind,
and speak about You only.

I wanted to forget You
but am unable to do so.
Unknowingly, I keep singing Your song.

The flowers of spring,
the sandal breeze,
keep Your sweetness around them.

In the clouds of the sky,
dambaru (a hand held small drum) resounds.

Thinking of You,
I seek You,
in the sky, in the air,
in the resonance that fills the earth.

In the intoxication of Your ideation,

I do not want anything from You,
I only want to pour out myself
and offer everything of mine to You.

Come with silent feet,

come and sit on the lotus of my heart.

O Lord,
You are great
but I am a meager.
I keep dancing around You.

You are a wave,
I am the mere dust of the path.
I want Your shelter.

From time immemorial,
between You and me,
between the microcosm and the macrocosm,
a mutual absorption of love has existed.

You may remain without me,
but I cannot survive without You.
I cannot think of anything other than You.
You are my polestar,
all my movements are directed unto You.

Grant me love and devotion,
so that I may continue singing Your glory.

..................................................................

You are so great and I am so small.
I am always moving towards You.
You are the ocean
whereas I am but a small particle of dust.
I surrender myself unto Your lotus feet.
You are my shelter.

Since the very beginning of this universe
our relationship has been one of love.
You may stand without me,
but I can't stand without You.

I can't think of anyone else exept You.
You are my polestar.
You are my meditation (sadhana).
Please grant me devotion and love
so I may always sing Your glory.

O symbol of effulgence,
You came,
crossing the ocean of darkness,
removing all darkness totally,
to benefit the world.

Great sages and saints,
cannot attain You,
even after ages of arduous penance.

O Lord,
You came into all hearts.

When light comes,
darkness is removed.
When life comes,
death dies.

This divinely illusory game,
with which You swing the world,
never ends.

O Lord,
You exist in the ideation of all minds,
so why do You wish to remain hidden?

You are clean and fragrant,
so why do You wish to witness
from a distance only?

You are for those who have none.
You filled attributes amongst those lacking qualities.
Although above attributes,
You are without attributes (Nirgun'a).

Why do You wish to remain unseen?
You are the shelter of all,
and yet, You remain shelterless.

O Lord of all,
why do You remain above all feelings,
above everything?
In individual and collective contact with the microcosm, You bestow sweetness.

O my dear one,
in the moonlit night,
on the beach of golden sand
that lies along the ocean,
I shall speak to You
through song after song.

I shall speak to You
in the sandal breeze,
through tunes of flowers
with petals wide open.

I have rehearsed only one tune
with which my heart has become intoxicated.

By its rhythm,
with heavenly bliss,
a new joy vibrates.

On my monochord,
only one tune is played,
within which all love is filled.

By its pollen,
with a smiling melody,
I shall whisper my song into Your ears.

O Lord,
You put on the adornment of joy (ashok)
with tender buds
of mango and red kinshuk flowers.

The forest smiles with flowers of spring
and the mental world today smiles with shyness.

From mango trees buds drop,
spreading a sour fragrance.

On golden mountain peaks,
a golden crown appears to have been placed.

Over the flowers of blackberry (jambu),
bees hover from all sides for bitter honey.

With the fragrance of flowers tied to their chignon,
ladies forget their household jobs.

In moonlight dreams,
with sandal breeze,
I call them without shyness,
O Lord.

Why have flowers bloomed in my garden?
Who knows?

Not only in my floral garden
but also in my mental garden flowers bloom.

The flowers that could previously not bloom,
due to intense fog of cold weather,
and due to dullness of inertia,
attained a jerk of life today.

The honey that was covered within petals
today attained life.

The great moon in the blue sky,
wants to reach out,
and talk to all in melody and tune,
on moonlit nights.

O Lord of my mind,
come into my mind
come with the adornment of flowers.

All the flowers have spread their petals
to welcome You by pouring out their honey.

The bud of the campa' flower,
forgetting its shyness,
looks at You and lifts its veil.

Although small,
the buds of bakula flowers open up
the doors of their hearts.

Come with rhythm and meter,
come decorated with the red colour of kinshuk flowers.
The buds of mango blossoms
scatter their sweet fragrance all over.

They want to speak to You
by whispering into Your ears,
with a smile of shyness.

O Lord,
You are my eyebeautifying ointment,
the joy provider of my mind.
You are my eternal companion in life and death.

In the beautiful grand space,
You beauty radiates
and enchants me.

The whole world remains located
in the mirror of Your ma'ya'.

Everything resonates
with the tinkling sound of Your ankle bell.

Kindly look at me,
O stealer of mind.
I do not want anything worldly at Your feet.

Grant me devotion of the highest order
so that I may totally surrender myself.

You intention is my goal.
You are my moon
and I am the cakor bird
that forever looks at You.

the flame of the fire
that You ignited,
will never become extinguished, never!

The path that You told me to follow,
is my sa'dhana',
my spiritual endeavor.

The work that You told me to do,
the policy that You taught me,
that work,
that policy,
I shall never forget, never!

The actions that You forbade,
the bad policies that You told me to refrain from,
in their flow
I shall never move
nor lean towards their influence, never!

You told us to love all,
even plants, creepers,
animals and birds.
You taught us neohumanism
to which no comparison exists in the world.

O who are You
who came with the fragrance of flowers
into my sweet floral garden,
and let Yourself be held?

You stayed in my mind like a bee,
and whispered devotion and love
into my ears.
My floral garden became filled with only love.

It occurred to my mind
that in Your absence,
nothing exists.

You came and poured life into vacuity,
filling emptiness with nectar.

I did not know what is called love.
I did not at all understand the cosmic entity.
Now I know and understand
that You are my only God,
overflowing with vivacity in the game of my life.

with the hope of attaining You,
I sit and wait day and night,
looking at the path of Your arrival
and threading a garland of malati flowers.

Every moment,
at Your tune,
my mind floats adrift, far off.

I am in love with Your sonorous song and dance.
In Your game of innumerable colours,
in Your overwhelmingly sweet smile,
in the secret core of my mind,
I continue dancing and meditating on You.

and shall continue doing Your work.

I move forward,
holding on to Your path
so that I may certainly attain You.

In which unknown history
did You come close to me?
During all that period,
I have survived.
So continue staying with me,
that I may colour my mind with Yours.

On which flowerfilled morning,
on which chirpingfilled winter,
have I loved You,
have I lost myself in You?

I forgot that time,
but I did not forget the immortal melody,
with which I shall fill You with song after song.

O Lord,
why did You come close with love
and departed abruptly?

My mind danced like a peacock,
spreading its tail in intoxication,
and yet, You hid Yourself.

Even today, alas,
my flower buds remain hidden under petals,
though full of sweetness smeared rhythm.

O dearest friend,
why do You stay away, unmoved?

Come, come close,
merge with my life,
by Your overwhelming and divine game.

You are the basis of all thoughts,
yet, You do not need a base.
You are the psychic pabula of all.
You are everyone's friend,
sympathizer during pains.

The animate and inanimate worlds,
the temporal factor, are all full of You.
With love and sweetness in Your heart,
You dance on,
each and every moment.

O destroyer of troubles,
O reliever of sufferings,
You are the beautiful pupil of everyone's eyes.

You existed in the beginning,
You are today,
and You will continue to be
till the end of endless life.

O beloved one of all,
object of meditation of all,
You are immeasurable
by intellect and strength.

You know how to how to put everything in motion.
You revolve the mind.
From within the depth,
You apply eyelotion.

The universe is full of Your infinite and divine game. You ever remain beyond destruction in intuitive absorption.
You are without slumber,
ever active;
You are the colourless effluence amidst forms.

By Your name and dhya'na (contemplation),
the darkness of mind is destroyed.

In the sweet song of Your attributes,
my mind rushes out, flying afar,
letting all bondages of inertia and meanness float away.
The colourful light of Your rising sun charms my eyes.
Pour out Your grace
and come in evernew and beautiful forms.

You provide
and receive love from all.

Looking at all with equality,
You constantly think of everyone's welfare.

In the intense heat of the sun,
in painful periods,
You pour out a flow of rain.

On torn out and distressed hearts,
You smear the honey of affection.

On wet and rainy dark nights,
You bring about the light of fireflies.

You know what respect living beings deserve.
You know the limitations
of those who survive with hope,
ever looking onto Your arrival path.
For, You have taken into Your shelter so many lives.

O Lord,
You appeared before me,
bending down to the dust of the path,
only to lift me up.

You did so much for me,
and yet, I wanted to forget You.

My path was obstructed,
all light had vanished,
my ego totally went down.

Losing my path,
I lay in a pit,
tying both my eyes with cloth.

You told me to look at the aim
and to love You wholeheartedly.

Having forgotten my goal,
I used to enjoy delusions,
intoxicated in momentary pleasures.

The crimson light of the morning sun
enters through the balcony into my dark house.

With the impact of brilliant light,
the ghost of darkness went far away.

Due to agonies,
accumulated ages after ages,
in the condensed blackness of darkness,
in the openingless deep dark well,
no discrimination was to be observed.

In this darkness,
living beings were bound
and the progress of minds became obstructed.

I cried out due to heavy obstruction,
me longing for a fast entry of heavenly effulgence
into my life.

O controller and illumination of the universe!
Come into the fold of my heart!

Turn the desert wet and green
and scatter light on the darkness of night.

I never performed the actions desired by You,
I could not follow Your path,
I merely continued seeking Your causeless grace,
O one full of sweetness and grace!

My heart remained intensely dark.
Your red and soft feet appeared hard.

And yet, by Your touch,
in a sudden moment,
it may all turn into a stream of nectar.

Come,
far removing the intoxication
of darkness and inertia!

I know and accept only You.
Distressed for You,
I long to dissolve myself in You.

I have no attachment to respect nor dishonour.
You are the supreme
and You are my sa'dhana'.

I survive for You only
within and beyond
the scope of pain and pleasure.

In life, spring comes
as does the sun's intense heat.

In my life,
You ever remain bound to my heart
as fulfillment of my dream.

O Lord,
You gave me so much
and yet, You never wanted anything in return.

In the intense heat of summer,
You provided to me the shade of trees.

You rained soothing water
on the mirage of my dry desert.

My time used to pass by
in the flame of miseries,
that arose in humiliation and disregard.

You lifted me onto Your lap
and decorated me with a floral garland of songs.

The truth lay hidden
under storms of ignorance and dogmas.
You removed that fog
and brought me onto the path of light.

O Lord,
You flew a flood of effulgence
and awakened life in the dark desert.

Victory be Yours,
O Lord!
Forever victory be Yours!

In the unexpressed world
You made flowers bloom.

The flow that was lost in the desert sand,
the bud that lay covered with dust,
attained life again by Your causeless grace.

My intellect had shrunk due to obstructions.
The melody that I had rehearsed remained suppressed,
when, by the soft touch of Your hand,
the gamut of octave fell in relief to the ground.

You are the gem of my eyes,

Lighting the wick of my small lamp,
I invoke Your name.
For, the power that Your name possesses,
is beyond comparison.

You are there and I too am there,

Always thinking of You,
I became like You.

Your encircling movement

I am the viin'a and You are the player.

I remain submerged in You.

O one eternally absorbed in intuition!
Stay with each exhalation of mine.
