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 nebula,
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.
